Constructed balance changes are still fresh and you don't know what to play? Battlegrounds is cool but you would like to tinker with your own cards? No problem at all: we've got what you need.
Last week, ZelKnow posted 虎牙丶夜帆's (who is likely the best Duels player in China) deck recommendations for all the 10 classes in Hearthstone's new game mode! Each list also shows which Hero Power and which Treasure you should choose, as well as a personal (but still pretty relevant, given that we're talking about someone who's very good at the game) opinion about their power level.
What are you waiting for? Grab a treasure and join the battle!
Disclaimer: in some cases, 虎牙丶夜帆 suggested two different treasures instead of just one - you can freely choose the one you like the most.

good stuff
Yeah, I really like Duels, but struggled to find starting decks and eventually lost interest.
what is a power score?
It basically indicates how good the CN player thinks these decks are. Nothing fancy: just a personal opinion from a very good player.
You accidently put the old Nijimox instead of the new nerfed one on the Warlock suggestion.
I need a puff off of what you're smoking, Smokie!
Puff Puff Give!
Where you under the impression there's any other kind? ;-)
I am having huge success on ladder (something like 35% winrate, but let's not be too meticulous) with Menagerie Demon Hunter.
How does it feel to be wrong now, huh?
and then theres the secret hunter with which ive had the most success with. on one of the runs i went 12-0. u just need to get the hero power upgraded to be able to hit twice a turn and i think it got reduced to 1 mana too not sure now. The last match took almost 10 mins to find an opponent
word of caution for duels in general, if u get steam rolled on a match dont q right away. u will be paired with the same player. it has happened to me when i lost and when i won so beware
Thanks for this article! I've been struggling to figure out a good Warrior deck and this one looks great.
Duels gets way less attention that Constructed, even from the community.
Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to find content worth to be published, but when we see something interesting we'll upload it for sure!
That's some 10/10 content right there, and I do believe it will go a long way to promote this mode.
Crazy to think that it is the newest addition, and yet, it doesn't even get the spotlight it should have had.
Thanks for the read !
I appreciate the kind words: we'll definitely try to promote more content like this!
The treasures and HPs have their original non-nerfed versions shown.
Thanks. There are a lot of good ideas in here. Some are ones I’m used to seeing (I came up with almost the same Weapon Rogue on my first Duels run), but a lot of them look new.
