Top Standard & Wild Legend Decks – Murder at Castle Nathria (+Maw and Disorder) Week 10 – October 2022

It’s been almost 2 weeks since the release of Maw and Disorder mini-set, and we’re just after the first Masters Tour played with the mini-set. We’ll post Top 8 deck lists and some stats from the tournament soon!

While initially, the set looked quite good, it wasn’t powerful enough to turn the tides – the strongest cards simply slotted into already existing builds without changing that much overall. Some decks jumped up or down the ladder, but the balance remained roughly similar in the end. An extra week didn’t change that either – most of the talking points from my last decks roundup still stand, so there’s not point repeating them. The only thing that changed is that Skeleton Mage (and other Mage variants like Hero Power and even Big Spell) has made a big comeback – after the previous nerfs to Magister Dawngrasp, it has nearly disappeared from the ladder, but now it’s getting quite popular again. It turns out that the nerf wasn’t THAT big of a deal, and the deck is also quite nice against Hunters, so it’s like a third or fourth most popular deck on the ladder right now.

Good thing is that the delta between Beast Hunter’s and other decks’ win rate got reduced a bit – maybe people learned how to play against it better, maybe they picked some more counter decks, but right now it’s “only” 2-3% better than other decks and not 5%+. While it’s very possible that a few more weeks might result in Hunter dropping even further, I think that a more likely course of action is a balance update. We knew that Blizzard didn’t plan anything for this week because of Masters Tour, but I could see something next week or maybe the week after. In the worst-case scenario, we might have to wait until Patch 24.6, but that’s probably around 3 weeks from now. That’s also when the new expansion is going to be announced, so we’ll see whether the Death Knight class rumors were true!

Below, you will find a full list of the Legend decks from last week, sorted by the highest placement.
