Our Madness at the Darkmoon Faire decks roundup features a long list of decks that have been played by Legendary players, pros, and streamers. You will be able to find decks for all 10 classes. We will be keeping this post updated throughout the beginnings of the new expansion (roughly the first 4-5 days).
Darkmoon Faire is the final expansion of the Year of the Phoenix. While it doesn’t come with a rotation, it should shake up the meta considerably given the power level of new cards. Old Gods are back and they look just as powerful as last time. Between them and the new Corrupt mechanic, the meta has a serious chance of slowing down. But we aren’t without new aggressive cards – slower decks will have to try even harder to fend off the early aggression before they can utilize their expensive cards. Things will look interesting over the next few days! If you weren’t with us during the reveal season, you can learn more about the expansion and see all the new cards in our Darkmoon Faire expansion guide.

Darkmoon Faire Deck Lists
Once the expansion launches, we will be feverishly posting new decks for the first few days. After that it usually tapers off as decks become more refined. If this isn’t your first expansion then this is obvious, but be very wary of decks early in the expansion. A deck can be popular one day and then never heard from again. This has happened multiple times in the past, and usually happens at least once every expansion. If you are a budget player, we recommend holding off for at least a week before committing to crafting anything. Spending Dust on hyped Legendaries on Day 1 is a very common mistake, and can leave you without means to craft the actual meta Legendaries when everything slows down.
I opened golden ETC and golden Rattlegore in the last four days, so I guess I’m playing OTK Warrior.
Nice to see Shaman with something playable and – even if i hate playing against it, Control Warlock seems to be back in some form thanks to Tickatus. I had a Rogue deck get rolled by it!
Weird question: has anyone else had better luck than normal with legendaries? I got four legends (not counting the progression freebie) in my 35 packs and two of them were gold. Seriously. Not complaining of course!
Same! I feel like leggos are pretty weirdly common.
Current meta status is brainless trash, as usual.
Interesting and fun to use interaction stuff are flushed in the toilet by 3 yo easy to use aggros and combos decks. The real article would be how can people still consider this game somehow decent for people beyond 1st grade.
Everything is gonna be up in the air for a couple of weeks because the whole meta just shifted. Calm down, wait for it to settle and then learn to tech/hate whatever is killing you. Certainly more productive than venting here.
Legend with OTK demon hunter. Il’gynoth is a beast.
During my climb I beat a EU player named Stonekeep. Is that you? 😛
As someone who plays OTK Demon Hunter – any Warrior decks you usually lose to? I keep losing to it X3
Is there an article in this style for wild?
Nice decks and thank you for your efforts!
Shame nobody actually has these cards.
No legendary quests chain?
Sadly no :/
Just created an account here so I could take a moment to thank you for creating this easy-to-use round-up every expansion (and also to save my deck lists for Duels). Thank you!
Appreciate your effort with this. I always enjoy checking in on what everyone is playing early on. Too bad this expansion’s launch has been tarnished by corporate greed though. Can’t get myself to spend a penny to support this. Such a shame.
