On the C'Thun side of things, Control Warrior received a nice boost thanks to this Old God's spectacular ability to annoy your opponent.

That just sounds like damage with extra steps! Il'gynoth, unsurprisingly, is found in Demon Hunter decks. Soul Demon Hunter loves this little growth of N'Zoth and the deck is doing very well on the winrate side of things, only really having a problem with some Druid decks (notably Big and Clown).

The Highest Winrate Darkmoon Faire Legendaries

The most popular doesn't always mean the best so its important that we look at another side of the puzzle - which legendaries command the highest deck winrates?

We've been asked about Evolve Shaman and so it is appropriate we get a chance to showcase it now with the high deck winrate of Inara Stormcrash.

As far as Yrel goes, it should be no surprise that we're going to be using a Pure Paladin deck.
