Another week of adventures in the Barrens is behind us, so it's time to take a look at how things are going on the Wild side of Hearthstone. Let's see what our community members have to offer for Wild lovers and those wishing to hide from the Standard meta until the nerf patch comes next week.
Off-topic reminder to go and grab those free packs by watching 4 hours of Hearthstone Grandmasters on Youtube this week! You don't get any sort of notification about the drops though, nor are the packs given to you instantly in-game...
Malygos Hunter
While the new Vol'jin is definitely important for the game-ending combo, so is the new Core card Taelan Fordring for tutoring out the important pieces. KmemBM also came up with a Malygos list in addition to anonion's version below.
Hero Power Mage
In addition to all the Even Mages we spotlighted before, a good chunk of players wanted all the hero power value and jammed Jan'alai and Mordresh in the same deck. Thonson's list below has a Secret package, MrRhapsody went minion heavy for Book of Specters, and Xrazoc included Taelan to tutor out the payoff legendaries, to mention some.
Highlander Rogue
This Highlander list has been sense124's source of fun in the Barrens. Scabbs Cutterbutter enables all sorts of combos, and cheap copies of him do that even more easily.
Mill Druid
BasilAnguis has updated the Mill archetype for the Barrens. Thickhide Kodo provides a great taunt option for the deck while Far Watch Post can get very annoying when you're forced to draw cards much faster than you usually do. Just avoid aggro, it's still not a good matchup.
Renounce Warlock
My meme-o-meter tells me this is not your average "get-to-legend" list. While TheDestroyer85's deck does not originally contain any Barrens cards, Renounce Darkness might well change that. And since you're playing memes, it's only fair that your opponent has fewer cards than you do.

Off topic question: Did anyone actually get the packs from YouTube drops yet?
Nope, not yet. In Official Rules PDF there is:
"Within 48 hours of the conclusion of each applicable Broadcast, (...) the applicable Rewards will be credited to the Battle.net account (...)".
So in theory the rewards should appear within 48 hours.
Compared to Twitch their drops system is terrible! I mean, at minimum couldn’t they have alerts built in to say you earned a drop? Just throw it in the notifications drop down! (I know! I’m complaining about free stuff!)
Overall I just think YouTube as a game streaming site is bad! Hopefully this deal Blizz made ends soon.
I lost against a similar Malygos Hunter recently... But the opponent also played Springpaw - synergy with Starving Buzzard :D
I totally forgot that Buzzard is now 2-mana after nerf reverts :D (btw. image still shows 5-mana here on OoC yet, in case anybody is confused)
Oh wow, i got featured, that's cool! Didn't expect anyone to be interested in my deck, thanks a lot!
Oh shit! So this is why I got some likes on the Mage list today! :)
Thanks for the spotlight!
I made a build similar to the Mage one on launch day and got lots of 'friend' invites with just wonderfully colorful language to express how much they 'enjoyed' playing against my deck
