HSReplay.net recently released a graphic showcasing the best performing decks in the post-patch meta. If you don't know what to play now that your favorite deck has been nerfed, or if you just want to try out some new builds (a couple of the archetypes you'll see below are in fact 'new' to the top-tier meta), go ahead and netdeck!
Disclaimer: the post-patch meta is clearly yet to be explored, and you should not let Twitter/Reddit screenshot deceive you - even though the nerfs might not have annihilated certain cards from existence, there is not way they'll perform in the same way they did in the past. In the end, people just play what they are familiar with, even if it's slightly less good. Moreover, aggressive lists tend to have the upper hand whenever a nerf patch is released, so please don't scream "Aggro meta once again!", since we have no idea what the game will look like in one week.
Aggro Druid - 59.1% Winrate
Oracle of Elune is such a good card, and a new meta is the right occasion for Aggro Druid to try the new United in Stormwind toys.
Face Hunter - 59.8% Winrate
You can nerf a big component of the best deck in the meta, but face remains the place.
Secret Paladin - 60.8% Winrate
It appears that, at least in the early post-patch meta, nor Conviction (Rank 1) neither Battleground Battlemaster have cared too much about their respective nerfs, and in fact Secret Paladin is still rocking them with an astounding 60.8% winrate.
Quest Shaman - 60.3% Winrate
With less pressure from the combo decks, Quest Shaman has now time to complete each step of Command the Elements and abuse Stormcaller Bru'kan.
Quest Warlock - 59.9% Winrate
Looks like the #1 enemy is still in the game. At least players will have some more time to complete Blightborn Tamsin's achievement.

Aggro Shaman and Elemental Shaman are still the best.
I really like the look of this aggro druid. Was never a fan of the spell token druid but this one looks interesting to play. Guess I need to open more packs or just straight up craft the Oracle of Elunes
hold off on that one.
The deck's decent, but it gasses out really quickly if you don't topdeck draw and it has no way to close the game outside of minion damage so any boardclear really fucks you up.
It's also significantly less fun once you realize that the crazy dream combos only happen very rarely and most of the time you just have to rely on your opponent not being able to deal with Razormane Battelguard.
Thanks for letting me know. Every deck has a downside...except quest decks
that's not true, Warlock Quest has the downside of sometimes not being able to play because every opponent insta concedes :^)
