You've probably noticed that we're celebrating the site's first birthday this week, and I thought that a fittingly Wild celebration would be spotlighting decks that have only one copy of each card - Highlander decks! And since everyone is welcome to celebrate with us, I've included community-made decks from all 10 classes.
Don't forget all the giveaways we're running! In addition to free-to-take forum titles & profile banners, we have on-site (and Twitter!) giveaways related to Magic Arena and Legends of Runeterra as well. We might have something Wild as well...but you'll have to wait until the end of this post to find out.
Control Demon Hunter
Not all Demon Hunters are mere aggression, as this deck from HedgehogSpike shows. With the strength of Tempo decks, it's easy to forget that the class does have some good control tools in cards like Immolation Aura and Chaos Nova as well.
Malygos OTK Druid
You can see quite easily from the decklist that shenanigans are about to happen, there's just a ton of Mana cheat going on. Streamer Roffle is being credited as the creator of this list by frosthearth.
Control Hunter
Remember Deathstalker Rexxar? Hearthcasual sure does. What wouldn't the Standard players give to have that value engine available to them.
N'Zoth Control Mage
If you thought Siamat was a pretty good card already, imagine how good it is with un-silenceable Lifesteal from Frost Lich Jaina? In addition to the Elemental heal, Tumbleweedovski has included a handful of Taunts for N'Zoth to resurrect.
Aggro Paladin
What's better than a good fun deck? A good fun deck with a flavorful story! RavenSunHS channels the power of Arabian Nights to defeat the evil Jafars of the ladder with this Paladin list.
Togwaggle Priest
Zergoras's deck isn't just a Dragon-centric Razakus list, as it also has the potential to steal your opponent's deck if you feel like it. Don't forget to hold on to Murozond the Infinite until your opponent's plays King's Ransom if you want to go the Togwaggle way.
Deathrattle Rogue
Da Undatakah isn't going anywhere in Gam3rPr0's deck, as Anub'arak's Deathrattle keeps bringing him back to your hand. If you want even more value, let Aya Blackpaw or Jade Swarmer die before him as well.
Evolve Shaman
Lots of ways to Evolve your underwhelmingly statted minions in this deck! As you can only run one copy of each spell as Highlander, Lat included Krag'wa, the Frog to gain access to more copies of them.
Malygos Warlock
With Frizz Kindleroost making your numerous Dragons cheaper and Emperor Thaurissan making all your cards cheaper, there's quite a lot of burst damage available in GulDaniel's list through the Malygos combo.
Pirate Warrior
We have crossed a terrible threshold: there are enough good Pirates for a Highlander list. Even though the deck is mostly aiming to go face, KmemBM couldn't resist the temptation of adding Dragonqueen Alexstrasza for some value as well.
Oh right, did I promise a giveaway or something...

This mechathun deck worked for me against aggro decks
Deck ID Not Found
Started with wanting to use Murozond the Infinite I got from a pack to make a control Priest. The whole Baku thing kinda spiraled out of control. I guess there's just something about winning with a class that's not supposed to use it (Glitter Moth cries btw).
I started playing Razakus-Priest when they nerfed Raza the Chained. Back then I thought : „Hey, this Archetype is cool now! Let's see what I can do with it". While building the Deck, I had the Idea to make it more focused on Controling the Game and running your Opponent out of Resources, rather than machine-gunning them down. And since then, I've won more than 2000 Matches, and even made it to Legend during RoS.
I love this Deck because there's so much you can do with it!
You can make it a Thief-Priest, add some Dragons, have a Combo, etc. Rn, the Deck is more focused on being disruptive against Combo-Decks (with... varying Results).
This is one of my favorite wild decks, but I only play it when I don't care whether or not I win :)
The fact that Galvadon actually wins me games is insane and so much fun. Djinni also creates some very interesting scenarios with librams. And to top all of that Yogg is here to spread madness and laughs everytime I play it.
Even when I lose I have fun with this deck.
I know this is a little cheating, but I post here my old standard deck from February 2019, which is now very "wild". Back in its prime it brings me from rank 12 to 5 in 18 consecutive wins. Those were good days :-)
Since I play on wild only from time to time with limited collection I don't have any other competetive decks for that format.
Having been a Mage player since Launch, I just love the idea of Big Spell Mage. This is the Version I run.
I started playing HS during Mean Streets of Gadgetzan. I made my first (non-serious) foray into Wild ranked play in the Kobolds & Catacombs era. The list I am sharing below was the wild deck that I played with the most at that time, and probably ever in Wild. I don't have (and certainly didn't have then) a complete collection, so this list is by no means the definitive Renolock list. It was just kind of a jumbled list of the most powerful cards (by my novice estimation) in Warlock. I had bought Naxxramus, BRM, and LOE, so I had access to those legendaries, and I crafted the The Lich King because it was ubiquitous in those days, at least in Standard. I also crafted Bloodreaver Gul'dan because he was an undeniably great card.
Obviously this wasn't an optimal list then, and certainly not now, given all the great Highlander support that came along in Saviors of Uldum like Dragonqueen Alexstrasza or Zephrys the Great. But it was a ton of fun, and won me a few games. I imagine it would get stomped on in today's even faster wild meta. This list was run before secret and quest mage were running rampant like they do now (no Cloud Prince or Ray of Frost etc., and Pirate warrior was not quite as oppressively fast as it is now.
I STILL don't have Mal'Ganis. I should really craft him one of these days...
I mean, if you really want a turtle...
I managed to make a pretty good Highlander Paladin deck that works very well. Im really proud of this deck! (Also it's great playing a Paladin deck that's not aggro/otk) It feels AMAZING seeing my opponents going full SMOrc, only for me to heal back up to full health and clear the board.
Cube-lock been a favorite of mine for quite some time now ; the power it generates and the fact that it is filled with demons is no stranger to this list being my all time favorite : Enjoy³ ! ^^
I created this one as anti-combo, but it was used mainly to destroy Warlocks and Big Priests. Get destroyed by Mages though :(
I'm having great fun with this Malygos Druid. It feels entirely cheatsy, which is exactly what I want!
I love the Wild format as a whole, there is so many cool decks that are discovered or revisited every day that it's hard for me to pick a favorite. But there's a deck that will always have a special place in my collection and heart, and that deck is: Cubelock. It was the first deck that i legitimately got legend with ( the actual first time was with Big Priest, so i don't cont it) and up to this day i still use it to rush to legend and start experimenting diferent decks without the fear of loosing ranks and rewards. The list i'll share was the one i got legend in back in september 2018, it's very outdated but i still play it sometimes for nostalgia.
And now i want to make honorable mentions to my other favorite deck per class.
Spiteful Demon Hunter, Jade Druid, Midrange Beast Hunter, Big Spell Mage, Handbuff Paladin (Don't mistaken it by Mech Paladin), Spiteful Priest, Jade Rogue, Evolve Shaman, Cubelock (duh) and Dragon Warrior.
This was the first Wild deck I crafted during Rastakhan as a (relatively) new player when I find out there's no viable "Elemental" Shaman, i.e. Spell Shaman in Standard, despite a lot of support with Spirit of the Frog, Zentimo, Krag'wa etc. (to relive that WoW fantasy). I love the big miracle turns you can have with Spirit of the Frog and the overload management adds another layer of complexity. Shoutout to Roffle!
My favorite is a C'Thun Hunter deck showcasing Emeriss. Hunter never got good C'Thun synergy back in Old Gods so I made this work. Best case scenario is you can stick a Brann for either the Emeriss buff or the C'Thun battlecry. There is nothing quite like getting off a big C'Thun for lethal. It even beats Yogg lethal, change my mind. :-)
The tricky part is getting Brann to stick... :)
Yeah, most of the time I'm happy just getting double stitched tracker or a couple C'Thun buffs going.
Quest Taunt Warrior! I love building a wall of minions, grinding down the enemy with clears and Taunts until they have nothing left. Doesn't work so great against certain decks, but I still try to have fun.
