Some undeniably strong stuff is being played on both Standard and Wild ladders in the wake of Stormwind's arrival and many of us are already anticipating the card nerfs that were rescheduled to take place early next week. Meanwhile, let's take our usual look at the marvelous creations of our community members.
Astral Druid
A meme-y choice to take for a spin from Swizard. Varian, King of Stormwind is an excellent addition to the deck thanks to the draw ability, and Mo'arg Forgefiend adds to the survival tools and well as N'Zoth resurrect pool.
Deck ID Not Found
Forgefiend has also made its way to SunburstWolfgang's Big Recruit Warrior.
Beast Hunter
Bathala's Hunter list will surely tick your achievement counters up as Rats and their King are swarming the board in full force in this deck.
Galakrond Warlock
A blast from the not-so-distant past from Valueslol in the form of this Galakrond-heavy list. Shady Bartender is a strong addition to an archetype that tends to have a couple of Imp tokens lying around, not to mention the Tradeable-ability should you need that instead.
OTK Priest
MarkMcKz has once again been busy brewing new OTKs, and in addition to some of the more obvious choices he has also managed to come up with combos like this Psyfiend list and Provoke OTK Warrior.
Questline Druid
A less meme-y and more efficient alternative from NebuchadnezzarHS, who has reached Legend with this Questline list. I did not foresee Savagery seeing actual play in good decks. And I think I just disenchanted some extra copies of it, maybe even my golden ones; Blizzard will surely nerf it now.
Bonus: Play It While You Can(?)
While I do like to concentrate on the more unusual lists instead of meta decks in these weekend posts, here are Blackiron's and sense124's takes on two of the top archetypes that Stormwind created in Wild. As both of them, or at least the Warlock one, seem likely to see some adjustments in the upcoming patch (right, Blizzard?), you should try them out now if you wish to witness the ultimate power they offer before it's gone (maybe).
Leaving Stormwind for an adventure in the Wild? Replenish your supplies with more community decks.

Thanks for featuring the astral druid even though it wasn’t posted this week!
Thanks FrostyFeet, for once again showcasing one of my legend decks!
Much appreciated! 👍🏻
It was really a straightforward (just go face) climb to legend this season because over 50% of the Wild ladder is currently playing Questline Warlock. Questline Druid is really its kryptonite (67% winrate) and also strong against all the other Questline decks. It only does not perform well against Taunt heavy decks.
What do you think of versions with more creatures (Brann, quest adventurers, etc) and no Oaken Summons? Seems to add some more board presence. Just saw Roffle's.
Roffle is a skilled HS streamer with great insight, but usually plays more meme-y versions of good decks. He prefers having fun over crushing opponents more efficiently.
Although I have not tried these 2 suggestions, I think both Brann Bronzebeard and Questing Adventurer seem like win-more cards in Questline Druid. The Oaken Summons plus Park Panther combination give you armor and puts a rushing minion into play which also supports the questline progression.
The Standard version of Questline Druid runs Mark of the Spikeshell which I really like, but in Wild it is probably not good enough and also considered a win-more card.
In the current meta, the only real weakness of this deck is encountering too many opposing Taunt minions. That is the area where improvements should be found ultimately.
