The Best Hearthstone Deck of All Time

[@MannnisEi]

My friend climbed to legend during Karazhan by playing a priest deck that was designed to do nothing but to counter shamans. The deck would lose horribly to any other deck, but the ladder was simply so infested with shaman that he made it to legend.

[@leeartlee915]

Omg, I remember that deck. I was always trying to force priest into the meta with… not great results. But that one super counter deck actually did well because Shaman was more than half the people you cued up into. No wonder I quit this game years ago.

[@Fru244]

I did the same thing in the undertaker face hunter meta, also with priest. It was the only time i hit legend with a deck i created myself and nobody else used it, felt good.

[@simonnorgren2911]

I would honestly prefer facing any of these three decks over raza priest. Super fun having all my minions get put in my deck or deleted for the quadrillionth time only to have the game go to fatigue and the opponent using nothing but their hero power to win.

[@dannykavanagh7615]

The deck that gave me sleepless nights playing against was Jade Druid absolutely soul destroying

[@RABDS]

Jade Druid felt broken playing against it. Everything was 6/6 and up by the end of the game. Not even Mage could clear the whole board.

[@devondenham7309]

U went face or you lost haha

having been a jade druid goblin myself, the feeling of opponents evergrowing doom was just the best feeling ever tbh

[@lorgan9595]

I think secret paladin could/should have made it on the list. It was very strong for a very long time.

[@zylle1993]

So true, it was everywhere! This list is so bad

[@SouthSideTHK]

I think Zoo Lock was better than secret pala

[@memejesus4294]

I feel like raza or big priest deserves a mention - especially at the then-height of power level during KFT, raza priest was insanely strong Other honorable mentions for me are cubelock, shudderwock, and caverns below

[@swixx55]

True and patron warrior and OTK warrior with charge giants or windfury worgen.

[@retrohanska4441]

@@swixx55 The thing with patron warrior is that it required vastly more planning and skill than any of these three but I would have regardless liked to have seen it on this list just because how badly it exposed some of this game's technical problems like how animations and turn duration could be exploited

[@nunayadamnbusiness]

Raza Priest was pretty good and big Priest was.. decent. Neither of them were nearly as dominant as most of the best decks in hearthstone history. Hell, there are decks out right now that would destroy it.

[@scottholden9016]

Yep raza priest is the strongest deck ever

[@leta2742]

Cubelock was my favorite deck of all time, migh have over 200 games with this deck only, and oh boy this deck suck in comparaison of the decks mentioned here, and some other that didn’t make the cut, even garrote rogue from last expension was better that my belived cube, same for razapriest, was good but dependent of raza and anduin, that you couldn’t tutorize

[@zoewandishin2110]

If we include wild, the Star Aligner druid before Aviana got nerfed was definitely a contender for strongest of all time.

[@JelB]

if you include wild I'd say hysteria tiller would be way stronger than that for the few days it was up, that was probably the worst wild has seen.

[@d4s0n282]

what about the giants one? where you could summon like 4-5 giants on turn 4-5

[@timkindregan2616]

@@JelB hystteria tiller wasnt even a good deck. the only reason they nerfed it was because of animations. sn1p-sn4p warlock was way better. and star aligner was also certainly better

I expected this video to be about Patron Warrior. Seeing what the deck is (mentioned at the latter half of the vid), yes, I agree 100%. I can also recall how it dominated the meta despite several patches of some key cards.

[@Dandyphonic]

Patron warrior was very strong but not as easy to play as these decks :) Patron warrior had around 50% win rate in general because it was not well played a lower rank but it had more than 60% win rate at legend. Shaman, DR hunter and DH had more than 65% wr at ALL ranks :)

[@-8h-]

@@Dandyphonic don't give it too much credit though, it wasn't that difficult to play.

[@kylefanning486]

Patron Warrior was a really interesting deck because, contrary to the way we often remember it, it wasn't broken. It wasn't even the best deck in the meta at the time. What made Patron Warrior good was that it had no bad matchups. It had a solid winrate because nothing countered it.

[@nickolayvlachkov7781]

@@Dandyphonic i remember patron warrior and it was super strong but 65 feels so... idk normal? Naga demon hunter was 70 just 2 weeks ago and there were 3 decks above 65 I returned just a month ago after many years

[@MatthewTheUntitled]

Patron was one of the most balanced decks in the game ever

[@nyankahana6447]

I cannot believe it doesn't include Gadgetzan Pirate Warrior, it was absolutely insane

[@bradleynorris503]

Loving the Documentary style videos man - nice to see fresh content for HS! Take it from someone who's played since Beta, seeing all the old expansions is a fun trip down memory lane and makes you realise how long the game has been going. I watched your docs on why Toast & Amaz left HS and and after this one its an easy Subscribe from me! Have to admit can't help but feel a bit sad at the end of those videos though.

[@Rarran]

Thanks for subbing! It’s def a trip and makes you remember a lot memories you forgot!

[@arkenexus_]

[@TheT0N1c]

For me Patron warrior will always be the best and coolest deck ever. Havent played HS in years but I could play Patron warrior 24/7 because it was so much fun

[@londonrhodes2429]

I haven't even thought about Hearthstone in years yet I've been watching a lot of your videos.

[@keenbean8156]

Great to reminisce on the old expansions! I’m thinking about what are the best two card combos of all time like (savage roar + Force of nature)

[@apap4997]

Secret paladin needed a mention. It may not be the strongest deck in a vacuum; but during its reign it absolutely dominated.

[@SlinkyAnimation]

thought the exact same thing

[@Haigoku.]

True. Best curve ever.

[@blindey]

I started...just after naxrammas I think? I didn't experience old undertaker. I'm loving the history of the game kinda videos, especially not just "ok here's what happened" talking, but illustrating it with clips of games and cards. I've only started watching you recently, but I'm lovin' it.

[@samueleriva2265]

Cool video. I think that some of the extension app for heartstone have some tracking of popularity of decks during the time, could be interesting see the data too, and maybe videos about expansion meta. Anyway great content, keep it up!!

[@kaeolandon-lane3429]

Hey Rarran, I discovered your videos less than an hour ago on how old HS streamers are going. Great content, subbed- and I think it's a good direction for video ideas going in to the history of HS... potentially because the current state of the game has stagnated. You've said that those streamers found it hard to switch to a new game, I hope you have good luck in that!

[@Rarran]

Thanks so much dude, not gonna try for a while, I love what I am doing currently!

[@osirisavra1301]

Some of the strongest decks that i remember were secret paladin,murloc paladin,pirate warrior and jade druid. I stopped playing HS many years ago but i still remember these decks destroying me.

[@truedeepblue]

I used to farm midrange shamans with my favorite control warrior, such a good memories. One of the best metas honestly: reno warlock, maly druid and freeze mage were also kinda playable and I’ve enjoyed them a lot.

[@santiagogutierrez8633]

like this new format of vids dude, keep it up

[@goldbat5807]

In more recent times I'd argue that questline warlock is also a great contender for this topic. The deck turned the downside of self damaging into an upside and cant lose to control with fatigue snowballing on the opponent. Though i definately agree with this list, during their time these decks were really oppressive..

[@lexus134]

Loving the new videos!!! You should do one with Cardle, it's like Wordle but for HS cards, lots of fun, it would be great to test your knowledge :).

[@leylinchase7484]

I remember quest rogue which turned all your minions into 5/5s. It was super consistent (I played over 200 games on release with it and got quest off before turn 5 80% of the time, I was rank 1 legend with it with a 95% wr). Even after they massively nerfed it it was still a 75%+ we deck.

[@notbot4525]

Patches pirate weapon/aggro warrior was pretty gross. Not sure how it would stack up against deathrattle aggro hunter, overload busted/aggro shaman, or Day 1 Demon Hunter. Probably wouldn't hold up too well. But *for its time* ... it was busted af

[@MrSirFluffy]

The recent Quest Warlocks and the Galakrond Shaman were both decks I climbed super fast and easy with. They both had 70-80% winrates for me. Galakrond Shaman gave me like a 15 game win streak. They both got nerfed.

[@Noobie2k7]

Galakrond Shaman was such a stupid deck. The fact it ran the quest just to be able to override the hero power you'd earned to double cast Galakrond's battle cry and get an infinite value engine late game.

[@MrSirFluffy]

@@Noobie2k7 Yeah, pre nerf the deck was gross. 8-10 turns in a row of just high pressure gross turns.

[@economation-6381]

Nice video man. I just want to add that I never had more frustration in hearthstone than when the rogue quest was all the rage.

[@assboi]

You could have mentioned Mean Streets Pirate Warrior and Quest Rogue, those decks were absolute beasts in their day

[@ElMoShApPiNeSs]

This could easily be a 5 part series with 3 decks per video.

[@felipeluz5035]

A deck that felt really strong before being nerfed was Galakrond Shaman, but I'm not 100% sure it was on the level of those 3 decks... xD Also, I would have a few more decks to mention, if Wild decks were being considered. 👀

[@MrSirFluffy]

It felt like it was on their level but it got nerfed pretty quick. I got like 15 game win streaks with that deck. It seemed like every turn was a power turn. All the way up to turn 9. It was the combination of SOOO many good cards that all synergized as well.

[@Pr3d1ct0r]

Imo it was on their level. I mean.. its worst matchup was a mirror match

Happy to see the views doing really well, I think people was bored of hs gameplay in general not your fault Waiting for your new videos

[@LordHdio]

loved my hunter in karazhan, barnes pulling rag, sylvannas or highmane was just soo strong

[@timcal2136]

Honorable mentions should be: Libram Paladin (whichever expansion, it dominated for almost 2 years), Jade Druid, Caverns Quest Rogue on release, Patron Warrior, Questline Warlock pre-nerfs, Highlander Priest (shadowreaper-Raza was insane), Battlecry Shaman (Shudderwock…), and Midrange Druid for the OGs

[@bireland2012]

Jade Druid during Frozen Throne and Kobolds was also really busted. Maybe not quite to the extent of Midrange Shaman but still a worthy consideration.

[@linnows796]

That was the most broken deck before the nerf, cause people was only playing this and u was not able to face him if u dont play Jade Druid too, and btw with two mid ramp druid, the first who gets mana up early win mostly. But this get nerf kinda fast cause that was disgusting for the game and after this that was the chaman

[@kajatyr8737]

In Wild, the Giantlock with Naga Sea Witch and Giant Mage (using Book of Specters) were the first decks that made a WILD card get nerfed (NSW: 5 -> 8 (!) mana ). It could obliterate you by turn 5 by a Naga + 6 giants for 53 DMG. The only 2 counter cards were Poison Seeds and Frost Nova + Doomsayer. And if you survived, you were still quite unlikely to win... Rank 13 to legend in one afternoon with Giant Mage feels pretty on par with pre-nerf DH.

[@RinaaaYa]

During KotFT many decks and classes were really powerful, but I will never forget Raza Priest. It was amazing.

[@BerniPro]

i'd consider patron warrior as a close second to the daemonhunter deck, the problem with patron warrior was it was just so hard to pilot that even the top patron players missed lethal 1-2 turns earlier in competitive tournaments. (which they had prepared for extensively) but with the everchanging maths you had to do depending on the enemy board, it was hard to make decisions in the timespan you were given per turn. an armor warrior deck with a really easy boardfill and clear was so dominant, but arguably one of the hardest tier1(or tier0) decks to pilot.

[@arnoldasbucys7786]

Damm. This channel so underrated. Literaly Hearthstone Chronicles GG man

[@user-xx9se2id8z]

If this video is about standard only, then it's a very good video. In my opinion the most powerful deck I had to play against was raza priest in wild and as of now it's quest Baku hunter.

[@Azkadaz]

I remember looking up the stats for 5-mana Skull of Gul'dan the day before the nerfs took place and it had something like a 72% played winrate, which was higher than any card in wild at the time

[@jordanlutz8307]

I mean, Illidan did warn us. We were not prepared.

[@ShiniOokami]

I was thinking whether Evolve Shaman (a deck that made everyone run Kobold Stickyfingers :D ) would make it or not... guess it wasn't as broken as those decks :) (I was on "hiatus" during this time) Great history vid, thank you :)

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the jade druid deck, for me that was THE strongest deck in Hs cause when that was meta, u was not able to play other deck if you face jade deck, that was just 90% of ppl playing this deck, that was like "you want to rank up against jade deck ? play jade too"

[@zaidaziz2057]

[@linnows796]

To get only beaten by himself*

[@enjoshi-godrez8775]

Jade druid was a very good example of a deck being not the most powerful (decks faster than it would consistently beat it), but one of the most oppressive decks the game had ever seen as it almost completely boxed out any control deck. I genuinely find that to be worse than if it was just overpowered. However, I believe the strongest example of that was the orginal quest rogue. That deck literally stopped ANY deck that was slower than it, which back then, could be won in literally 4 turns. Thats when i quit for good.

[@CorsTymadorDofus]

the deck was terrible against aggro, and if you tech correctly even shaman that was another jade deck but was much faster coulld beat it

[@BigSalad]

another insane deck was during frozen throne. Tempo rogue with a pirate package. Absolutely insane with Keleseth, Valeera, Edwin, Saronite chain gang, leeroy, the list goes on.

[@WilliamWuHoo]

Big nostalgia hit as an old hearthstone player. I will say, I think stats wise, the strongest Hearthstone deck of all time was definitely Galakrond Shaman, I remember when it was first released in Descent of Dragons it's worst matchup was Galakrond Shaman. So it had a >50% winrate against literally every deck for a patch or two before getting hotfix nerfed, where it then stayed as a tier one deck. I don't think I remember any other deck having its worst winrate as itself.

[@ilias1844]

[@boyfromoz7]

I kind of liked playing Nax's Deathrattle Hunter and Mid-Range Shaman. I quit playing a week after Demon Hunter was introduced so have no idea what happened after that. I think other decks that were powerful during that time was Grim Patron Warrior (that deck was killer but was hard to play). Secret Paladin was so easy to play anyone could climb with it and was good. And Savage Roar druid back in vanilla was really good and Jade Druid was beyond painful to play against.

[@pitbull21ish]

I really like to play Libram paladin, its really strong in the current matchups. Especially againt pirate warrior

[@thepenguinwiththeimprobabl7661]

Damn, I remember climbing from rank 20 to rank 1 with Togwaggle Druid exclusively, and then when I was one win away from my first Legend border, I stumbled into six consecutive zoolock. My spirit was crushed, I lost all of them, I also uninstalled.

[@yesimBata]

I didn't play HS enough when DH was broken to know how bad it was. But I can safely say jade druid and pirate warrior at their peaks(KOFT and MSOG) were more oppressive at mid ranks than either huntertaker or midrange shaman. If we're talking about deck power levels at the high legend ranks(where people can play the hardest decks, and which make up the top 0.01% of ranked), then patron warrior and highlander priest were also way up there, and probably better than both.

[@ovs4744]

No undertaker and midrange shaman had a way higher wr at any rank than jade druid or pirate warrior, and midrange shaman was the best deck for pro play for the longest amount of time

[@timcal2136]

Jade druid and pirate warrior just felt worse to play against, undertaker hunter was at like 63% win rate pre-undertaker nerf, which is higher than both JD and PW

Agree with you about the Demon hunter Openess at start, but it would be interesting to imagine who would if we make all the broken deck, fare against each other. Imo Star aligner Druid could be the winner.

[@SoAsIWasSaying]

I think you could make a case for Secret Paladin, Patron Warrior and Quest Rogue as well

[@Fattyb00batty]

Odd paladin was cut from standard a year earlier then it was supposed to.

[@tobynye3543]

It’s old highlander priest for me (biased for sure because it was my favourite deck) just imagine current quest Hunter but the hero power refreshes when you play any card, not just spells and it’s a priest so they have mountains of removal, clears, healing + a 3 card 10 mana 28 damage burst combo :>

[@thomaswade9180]

grim patron was my favorite deck to play, such a high ceiling and low floor, no other deck like it.

[@derfahnder88]

Quest rogue with giggeling inventor was my nemesis. It was an absurd deck

[@SireDenathrius]

Un’Goro’s Quest Rogue and Barrens’ Control Priest was the funniest decks I’ve ever played 😅

[@tysonwhitman3303]

In terms of just raw brokenness, I'd say (in wild) soulslock, tiller priest (although I didn't play during that meta) and, recently, kael'thas druid. Pre-nerf boar priest is another hot contender, but as far as I know it wasn't as consistent as the others, and had a real chance of losing to aggro if the draws weren't good.

[@japon28311]

Great video. Mid range shaman was definitely a good time to be a shaman player. I think the class historically has been weaker. I think Grim Patron warrior was crazy OP

[@NiXXDGNA]

^^^ this, patron warrior was absolutely on par, but I think what this video left out is that it was a much harder deck to navigate versus say undertaker hunter. Secret paladin also deserves a shout out

[@Borkiborki]

patron warrior was sick when it came out also

[@brantworley6104]

my brother had a beta key to hearthstone and I stopped playing maybe 2 years ago. Imo deathrattle hunter AKA undertaker hunter was the best deck off all time if the qualification is best deck at climbing ranked ever. These vids are really cool I kind of feel old watching them lmao. Also is ben brode not the creative leader behind the game? He was a very loved character and I've noticed a resurgence in hearthstone lately, so that's interesting.

Nice ! But what about Secret paladin ? And Grimm Patron warrior ? :o

[@Noobie2k7]

I mean in HS history there hae been a lot of decks that have left many a player with PTSD. There's Jade Druid, Cube-lock, Raza Priest, Patron Warrior, Quest-lock, Aviana-Kun, Malygos Druid, Secret Paladin, Patches Pirate Warrior, Barnes Priest, Quest-Rogue, Galakrond Shaman etc etc. I'm likely forgetting multiple decks all that were way too strong at the time and ruined the game for a lot of people not playing them.

[@thegoobrothers]

Odd rogue was also pretty op in Witchwood wild

[@regolad8100]

Nice video, it would be nice if you put in some hype music. Something like summoning salt in his docu videos.

[@lohandebner]

Pirate Warrior overcomes Undertake Hunter and Overload Shaman, because it was the most noxious/harmful/prejudicial deck on the whole Hearthstone history. Undertake was at the beginning of the game and was nerfed fast, Overload was really frustrated ("4 mana 7/7!" and "1 mana creature buffed every card played"), but Pirate Warrior totally defined the meta for half a year, maybe more. It was so oppressive and easy to manage that only two other decks survived during this period: Jade Druid and Renolock, and even them had to be luck to hold the pirates before stabilize the board, if you played with Jade, or Reno comes and be played on turn 6. Was the worst Ranked queue that I played by far in any game that I played during my life. AND Blizzard didn't nerfed anything "based on win rate", but probably they used number from all ranks and also they wasn't watching their own Championships that was super boring because all players were using the same decks. At the end of the cicle, Dragon Priest emerged, but talking as a person who played with it and reached rank 1, this deck was dependent of luck too to hold pirates... but used to loose like 70% to Jade and almost 100% to Reno... yes I remember that I celebrate the only win against this deck, like 20 minutes match, after that I lost in 1 minute and 20 seconds for someone with Pirate Warrior.

[@gustavrsh]

I have PTSD from patches

[@ledaniel86]

Big priest was a big pain for a long time, oh man, and i think its still is wild... How about odd paladin, or secret mage? These decks will be on spot no matters whats the current meta is.

[@dima2008_pro]

As HS fan who plays for a long time I think that most overpowerful deck was Shudderwock shaman before all nerfs, on the release this deck was unbelievable powerful and annoying as hell, being slowly killed by Lifedrinker's repeatable battlecries with VERY slow animations was very fun and fair.

[@guygardner7095]

Oh Jesus christ the introduction of demon hunter brought back some PTSD. Shit was ridiculous.

[@ZFroZenHail]

Is there a video on which meta and which deck was strong before nerf? I recalled a time where pirate warriors, quest rouge (caverns below), cube warlock, raza priest, odd paladin were the deck that was meta

[@Rarran]

not yet.. might be coming soon

[@chandlermiller3944]

The new poison thief rogue will go down as one of hearthstones most oppressive decks. With a playrate of over 50% at top legend, it is no question that it is a contender for one of the most powerful decks ever crafted for standard. Edit: I do agree though that demon hunter was way WAY overtuned. I think though it was the only deck that was overpowered on purpose. Blizzard wanted everyone to want to play the new class so they had to overtune it to spark interest.

[@Mr.Reality]

Yeah they wanted everyone to buy and spend money to get the new cards, cuz they look so overpowered.. And then nerf it to the ground 2 days later and free cashhh...🤑

[@akoskovacs6830]

A slight difference: the best HS deck of all time is probably the one leading the Wild meta. These are the most successful meta decks in their respective timeframe.

[@breezyentertainment]

that's true. i think it would be interesting to see what deck was considered best for every expansion, along with maybe the best wild deck for each expansion to see what the differences are

This video makes me want to play DH again!

[@Aireez24]

God the editing in this video is sooo freaking awesome @Rarran 🤯🤗 but as having played all of these decks during their respective time frame and agreeing that Demon Hunter deck day 1 was the strongest ever…i have to say, Galakron Shaman the first week it was out was super close to being the “strongest deck ever” and it didn’t even make your list sir. =/

[@Rarran]

There is a bunch of decks I didn’t include and I can be biased but that deck was super strong as well!

I would love to see something like a tournament of the best decks of each expansion/meta against each other. Probably is impossible though because of the nerfed cards

[@protoss5758]

could be done with a sim made from scratch, this is a thing in yugioh, although there banlists changing over the years makes it a bit weird (physical card game so very rarely are cards ever nerfed, but the number you can include in your deck goes down from the full 3, to 2 or 1 to weaken their archetype, or 0 if the card is broken)

[@burdenedsceptile894]

Honestly I wish there was an honorable mention for Star Aligner Druid. It may have only been strong in wild when it came out but it was an interesting combo to see considering how little play the card would see after they nerfed the deck.

[@LooseGooseGamer]

I remember making the original star aligner combo deck thread on hearthpwn. Still has like 43k views. I was called a goober for saying it was broken.

[@zakariasahmane1132]

Damn the feels. Although i kind of liked the old philosophy of devs in the sense it showed creativity and some decks were created just to counter these decks ( not demon hunter, nurferd too quickly )

[@_Libosido]

Odd Paladin was for me, best deck of all time _(but not fun to play with him or against him)_ . You had a guaranteed value by hero power from turn 2, you didnt was punished by deckbuilding from only odd cards, deck was deadly consistent, and if you was out of cards in hand, you used _Divine Favor_ and for 3 mana you get mostly time 5+ cards - > you are was not punished for spending all your resources _(cards)_ but you was rewarded for it. Deck recived huge "indirect buff" later, by nerfing _Call to Arms_ from 4 to 5-mana spell, so for you was much easier clear up your deck from 1 cost cards. To top up all, deck was cheap, only Baku and Leroy needed. _Year of the Raven_ was more like _Year of the Pain_ tbh.

I still have nightmares from facing Secret Paladin during it's prime. Also Raza Priest and Patron warrior were very opressive for a while.

Yes secret paladin was insane in its prime, it feels weird that not many people remember this deck. Maybe the memories were too traumatizing.
