Quest Druid is not looking great outside of legend, where Hunter is extremely popular. In an otherwise green/neutral matchup spread, Quest Hunter now faces a red box that’s growing more popular every day.ĭruid is sending us mixed signals. ![]() Outside of Face Hunter, this is the most difficult challenge that Quest Hunter can face. Quest Hunter’s win rate has fallen hard due to Galakrond Warrior’s rise. Dragon Hunter just happens to enjoy a more favorable field at the moment and displays the higher weighted win rate as a result. Highlander Hunter does have its advantages, which is handling Rogue and Warrior better, so both decks have a place in the meta. It is stronger against Druid, Mage, Priest and other Hunters (including the direct mirror). This is another case of players overvaluing card draw in favor of strong tempo plays.ĭragon Hunter continues to outperform Highlander. We’ll say it very clearly: SN1P-SN4P and Zilliax are completely nuts in the current meta and cutting them is wrong. They just happened to do well despite this substitution because they were playing Galakrond Rogue in a small sample size. Of course, cutting SN1P-SN4P did not contribute to these players’ success. A couple of players hit top legend ranks by cutting SN1P-SN4P and Zilliax for Skyvateers, and those lists have spread and are ironically more prominent at legend since high-level players are quicker to take up new lists. It is likely that Rogue is indeed stronger than its win rate currently suggests because of the perils of netdecking. With that being said, we do want to talk about the decline in Galakrond Rogue’s win rate. There are 6 different classes with archetypes boasting a positive win rate, while the 7 th class (Mage) is very close to getting there. No strategy is too dominant, and every strategy seems to be kept in check by another. At legend, Highlander Mage looks stable in what is likely to be a more favorable meta (less Dragon Hunters, more Quest Druids).įor the first time since Journey to Un’Goro, there is no Tier 1 deck at legend! With the meta settling down in the aftermath of Galakrond’s Awakening, the field looks extremely balanced with many decks performing at a similar level that we can’t really separate. Its play rate is declining outside of legend, where Hunter’s overbearing presence must be frustrating to Mage players. The Highlander Mage hype is beginning to fade just a bit. Highlander Warrior is also slightly rising in popularity after being touted as a reliable counter to aggressive decks of all kinds. ![]() Warrior is continuing its dramatic rise in play, with Galakrond Warrior emerging to be a strong player in the format. Players are flocking to the hotter midrange smasher in Dragon Hunter for an efficient climb instead. After its initially dominant entrance to the field and the meta’s ruthless response, Embiggen Druid saw its performance drastically decline. Quest Druid is rising in play, which is likely a response to the rise of Galakrond decks, while Embiggen Druid is declining. Even though Highlander Rogue has not been performing at nearly the same level, its presence is maintained and it’s not showing signs of fading yet due to some individual top legend success that’s keeping it in the news.Īnother transition is happening in Druid. Last week’s decline in Druid was good for the class, and the player base has responded. Rogue has risen in popularity, with Galakrond Rogue nearing 20% of the field at legend. Quest and Face Hunter are very niche compared to the two dragon decks. ![]() Dragon Hunter is chipping away at Highlander Hunter’s popularity, significantly overtaking it as the most dominant archetype within the class. Hunter continues its transitioning phase. ![]()
