What Standard Decks to Play in Hearthstone's New Expansion? The Top 10 Stormwind Deck Archetypes of Week 1

We're going into the first weekend of the United in Stormwind expansion so before we do, its time to take a look at which decks are currently top-tier out on the Standard ladder. Using decks and data from HSReplay.net, we've got 10 of the best decks on display down below that you should consider taking out for a ride if you haven't already.

The folks at HSReplay put out one of their Regional Power Rankings last night, which differs a bit from the decks you'll find below but it gives us an insight into how each of the different servers Hearthstone is played on is shaping up in the fresh meta.

Remember: We're still very fresh into a new expansion which means the meta has not been solved. The most effective decks are rapidly changing and unless you can afford to lose the dust, we do not recommend crafting any cards yet.
