Spicy Starting Decks for Every Class in Hearthstone's Duels Mode

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.
