It was a massive refill, drawing a card for each minion opponent had on the board + summoning a bunch of 1/1’s with Charge. They played cards like Scavenging Hyena, which could run out of control thanks to Unleash, and Houndmaster, which was very efficient as long as you had something to buff.īut probably most importantly, both builds played the infamous Starving Buzzard + Unleash the Hounds combo. Midrange Hunter, on the other hand, focused on Beast synergies. The latter used to be a 4/2 with Charge that ramped up the opponent – which doesn’t sound that great, after all giving them Mana Crystal is a big deal, but the game was over so quickly that it mostly didn’t matter (and you could also hold it and use as a finisher). Charge minions such as Wolfrider and Arcane Golem. Just like with many popular decks back in the day, they shared a lot of similarities, and the biggest difference was that Midrange version curved a little bit higher, usually stopping at 6 with Savannah Highmane.įace Hunter focused more on killing the opponent as quickly as possible by running more direct damage, e.g. When it comes to Hunter, two builds were most popular – Face and Midrange. We also had some early “Midrange Druid” builds, but those didn’t really take off until Naxxramas – however, I think that some players will be able to build viable ones in Classic too.ĪAEDAaHDAwKvoQS1oQQO2ZUE25UE3ZYEsqEE1aEE6aEE7KEE8KEE8aEEk6IE1KIEvaMEyqMExaoEAA=
And, of course, the deck played two copies of FoN + SR combo, unlike Ramp, which often only included one. Those tokens then could either be buffed by Power of the Wild (Teacher + Innervate + Power of the Wild was a really strong T4 combo) or, if they survived, used to burst the opponent down with Savage Roar. The deck’s general gameplan was to hopefully hit Wild Growth on Turn 2 and then curve out with a Taunt every turn, then refill with Ancient of Lore if necessary (but because of deck’s high mana curve, it generally wasn’t).Īnother, less popular option was Token Druid. It shared some similarities with ramp version, but most notably had a lower mana curve and played Violet Teacher as a way to flood the board with 1/1 tokens. Yes, that’s how desperate Druids were against big bodies. Funnily enough, some players even teched in Mark of the Wild to – of course – buff their own minions, but also combo with The Black Knight to remove any minion. Druid’s biggest downside was the lack of removal, especially big minion removal, which is why most of the builds teched in Big Game Hunter and The Black Knight (especially useful in mirrors). There were two versions – one with Force of Nature + Savage Roar combo one one without it, but the combo version was generally more popular, since the deck needed a solid finisher. When it comes to Druid, by far the most popular option in Classic was Ramp.
Good news – in Classic, every single class can feel a bit like Demon Hunter by putting Illidan Stormrage (now Xavius) into their deck! The card isn’t really that good, but I guess that if you try really hard, you can make it work in some builds. Bad news (okay, maybe good news for some of you) – Demon Hunter class didn’t exist back in the day, so you can’t play it.
Modo deck list update#
We’ll update them as soon as we finish it, and until then, there’s a working deck code posted under each deck list.Īnyway, without further ado, here’s the list: Table of Content Keep in mind that some of the classes are clearly better than the others (right now Druid and Warlock are the two most dominating ones, with Rogue, Shaman and Warrior being Tier 2).ĭeck lists use our old deck builder, since Classic deck builder is still in the works. We’ve decided to gather some of the most powerful decks for every class. However, it also means that Classic meta is completely different than what you see in Standard or Wild. removed – other than some QoL changes, it feels like playing the game back in June 2014. All of the card changes done since them were reverted, all of the new mechanics, features etc. Update: We’ve updated the best picks and created a Classic Tier List here!Ĭlassic is the latest Hearthstone format and it takes the game back to its (nearly) original state, before any expansions were released.
