Hello members of the /r/hearthstone community,

This is part of a series of weekly threads aimed at both new and old players from the community. It is designed so that everybody may ask any and all questions regarding the game's mechanics, decks, strategies and more.

Please keep it clean and try to add more than just a one or two word response. As the goal of this post is to increase the community's knowledge, the thought process matters as much as the answer! There is also a Theorycrafting Thursday weekly post, for those who wish to discuss some of the more intricate aspects of the game.

Sticky Threads and Guides - Great resources for new players!

TeamRankstar's #12 Wild Meta Report

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:18 AM PST

We would like to thank these top legend players who have given us their expert opinions: RenoJackson, Weatherlight, Hijodaikan, Memnarch, 燁魔, xtuliop, Goku, SmellyHuffer, Eddetektor, Kohai, and Beeozan. Their Twitters are to be listed at the end of the report.

Welcome to the Twelfth Edition of Team Rankstar's Wild Meta Snapshot for 2019! This is our first report since the introduction of Descent of Dragons. In this meta report, we will be going through a tier list of 61 decks we've seen frequently on ladder, explain the method of computing the tier list, break down the meta and analyze the decks as detailed as they need to be. In this report, we have included a Meta Ranking and will be further discussing the state of each class in terms of power and diversity. Also, we're including some Rankstar special decklists that were made by none other than our experts!

Method

We collected our experts' opinions through a spreadsheet, where our Top Wild legend players will rate the given decks with a corresponding score from 1 to 4 in increments of 0.5 (with 1 being top Tier 1 and 4 being bottom Tier 4). We then collect the result, standardize and categorize them in 4 different Tiers. This is what they mean:

Tier 0 (Absolute oppression)

The one deck to beat. You either play it or play decks that can beat it.

NONE

Tier 1 (Meta-defining)

Highly-optimised decks with extreme raw power that are very well positioned in the meta.

Reno Time Warp Mage

Mech Handbuff Paladin

Cube Warlock

Pirate Warrior

Secret Mage

Aggro Rogue

Odd Rogue

Time Warp Mage

Tier 2 (High-legend viable)

Competitive decks that are not as well-rounded, but can snatch games off of Tier 1 decks or prey on their direct counters.

Odd Paladin

Mecha'thun Warlock

Even Shaman

Even Warlock

Reno Control Mage

Reno Hunter

Odd Warrior

Zoo Warlock

Tier 3 (Legend-viable)

Fringe decks that can capitalise on pocket metas that allow it, however, are either suboptimal or outmeta.

Jade Druid

Big Rogue

Reno Priest

Odd Mage

Darkest Hour Warlock

Reno Warlock

Reno Shaman

Tempo Warrior

Aviana Druid

Treachery Warlock

Kingsbane Rogue

Inner Fire Priest

Galakrond Shaman

Aggro Shaman

Control Shudderwock Shaman

Mech Hunter

Aggro Druid

Evolve Shaman

Togwaggle Priest

Malygos Warlock

Odd Hunter

Murloc Shaman

Reno Paladin

Galakrond OTK Rogue

Big Burn Priest

Big Priest

Mind Blast Priest

Malygos Druid

Tier 4 (Average)

Decks at a weaker power level that require an extensive understanding to be able to pilot well, however, are not recommended for ladder experience.

Secret Hunter

Taunt Warrior

Even Hunter

Burgle Rogue

Dead Man's Warrior

APM Priest

Exodia Paladin

Deathrattle Hunter

Reno Druid

Murloc Paladin

Dinomancer Warlock

Ramp Druid

Jade Shaman

Big Shaman

Freeze Mage

Weasel Priest

Mill Rogue

Mech Mage

Tier 5 (Meme)

Decks that aren't typically played to get for the purpose of climbing ladder, but still have a decent enough presence to be included in the report.

NONE

Within each tier, decks are categorized to either High tier, Mid tier or Low tier to further differentiate their power level.

For Meta Ranking analysis, we allocate points to each deck from Tier 0 to Tier 3 then sum them up. The point system for rating a single deck is as below:

Tier 0: 22

Tier 1: 18 (High), 15 (Mid), 12 (Low)

Tier 2: 9 (High), 7 (Mid), 5 (Low)

Tier 3: 3 (High), 2 (Mid), 1 (Low)

Each deck is also assigned a popularity ranking and a respective coefficient multiplier based on its popularity. The highest multiplier is 12 and the lowest is 7. For example, if Odd Paladin is High Tier 1 and has a multiplier of 12, it will bring the class an additional 216 points.

CLASS META RANKING

Mage
Warlock
Rogue
Paladin
Warrior
Shaman
Priest
Hunter
Druid

Therefore, a class can be placed highly on the Ranking system based on one (or both) of these elements: having a few strong decks (deck power) or having many decks (class diversity). If classes share the same score, the class with more top decks will be ranked higher.
