The 35th Season of ladder has come to a close, and to make things extra interesting the nerf to Small-Time Buccaneer and Spirit Claws was launched right in the middle of the day. I believe, for the most part, that the EU Season was complete before the nerfs hit, but for players in the NA region… They had to play in a pretty volatile meta. I’ve tried to only include post-nerf decks, so they are more relevant to the people who might want to try them out!
The ranks listed were provided by the players and aren’t official until Blizzard releases them.
Top Legend Decks from Season 35
I will be adding more decks throughout the day if they are released.

Can anyone explain why the rogue plays jungle panther a different beast such as huge toad or stranglehorn tiger?
The curator?
“Stealth = Cold Blood target” I guess.
It’s an aggressive deck all about going face, you wouldn’t really expect minions to do much more than whack your opponent in the face once – Huge Toad will likely die as soon as it’s summoned so that’s only 1 face damage max and Stranglethorn Tiger is too expensive; 2 extra mana for 1 extra damage.
Because of stealth, Jungle Panther is almost guaranteed to be 4 damage to your opponent for 3 mana (or 8 for 4 mana with Cold Blood) – or it can remove something like Misha if you’re ready for the Leroy killing move.
All 3 get the beast draw synergy from the Curator though which is why a beast over say something like Wolfrider.
Rogue wants to play Beast, because of The Curator.
Then the deck wants to play a Beast that’s in Stealth, because it’s much more likely that it will survive to next turn, so you can get a trade you want or it’s a good Cold Blood target.
And when it comes to Beasts with Stealth, you have two options – Panther or Stranglethorn Tiger. Tiger is great, but when it comes to damage compared to mana cost, Panther clearly wins. It’s 4 damage for 3 mana, compared to 5 damage for 5 mana. Of course, it has its flaws, like playing into the AoE, but it’s better than Tiger in such a deck list.
I’m personally playing both, so if I draw one I could still pull the other from The Curator.
Both toad and straglethorn are beasts yet I suppose it’s about curving out better,plus the fact that it’s a 4-2,aggressive stats in addition with stealth makes a rather good choice if you’re playing a deck that tries to push some face damage or ensure a viable cold blood target.
