Hearthstone Duels combines a large variety of sets with a multitude of playable characters and Passive Treasures. Such an overabundance of variances makes it so that the balance may shift rapidly, with new strategies emerging and countering others every time new synergies are discovered - what looks strong today might appear obsolete after just a few days! For this reason, players are asked to adapt to a rather changing environment, and they never fail to come up with fresh and interesting takes!
With this being said, below you'll find a handful of 12-win decks achieved with multiple classes: while some of them represent well-known archetypes, other are successful experimentations of off-meta strategies, which may give you the inspiration you need to build one yourself. Have fun!
In case you missed them, we have published other collections of 12-win Duels starting decks to take inspiration from!

Firestone - 12 Wins Divine Shield Finley
This article starts with a very, very unique starting deck, especially for the Signature Treasure. As you already saw in our last Duels decks roundup article and you'll see many times in the future, Divine Shield synergy is quite strong nowadays; doesn't matter which Hero you use.
Finley's Power Up! gives this starting deck even more firepower: the Windfury keyword can be very scary, especially when your minions are protected by shields and will grow in stats - if your opponent isn't particularly efficient in the removal department, they'll inevitably have a hard time against you!
Passive Treasures Chosen
- First pool - Crystal Gem
- Second pool - Avenging Armaments
Firestone - 12 Wins Mech Mage
No new cards in this starting deck, but, with both Freeze and Rush synergies being less present, board-based strategies (especially aggressive ones) are back on the menu. Remember Mech Mage from the Sunken City meta? Well, you may want to give that archetype another shot. We've seen the same starting list running either Infinite Arcane or Yogg-tastic Tasties as Signature Treasure.
Passive Treasures Chosen
- First pool - Optimized Polarity
- Second pool - Meek Mastery
Firestone - 12 Wins Big Paladin
It's not going to be as powerful as back in the day, when Humble Blessings cost 3 mana, but Big Paladin can still give your opponents a run for their money. Considering that Knight of Anointment is Humble Blessings's tutor, do not pick any bucket with other Holy spells, as the deck's consistency will take a dramatic nosedive.
Passive Treasures Chosen
- First pool - Inspiring Presence
- Second pool - Mummy Magic
Ultrarotom's 12 Wins Miracle Priest
With many of the other OTK strategies weakened, it is reasonable for Miracle Priest to climb back the Duels' tiers. As the first month of the Murder at Castle Nathria expansion has already shown, The Light! It Burns! and Identity Theft are solid additions for the deck, since they provide removal and card generation for additional Mind Tether pings. On a side note, Divine Illumination and Orb of Revelation give birth to a very intriguing combo.
Passive Treasures Chosen
- First pool - Divine Illumination
- Second pool - Orb of Revelation
Firestone - 12 Wins Totem Shaman
Wild is not the only mode where Totem Shaman is seeing success: while Hearthstone's eternal format is currently exploiting Genn Greymane's power, Duels has Totemic Power, Payload Totem Specialist and, at least for the first few games, a lower Health total to reduce to zero in order to win games. Expect the Gigantotem into Splitting Axe combo to be as powerful as in Wild.
Passive Treasures Chosen
- First pool - Crystal Gem
- Second pool - Hagatha's Embrace

Still haven't gotten a full 12-wins, but that priest deck did get me a nice 9-win game, which was a full gold refund for the ticket plus a pack, golden card and 20 gold, so I'm happy. It's rare I get that far, even with decks on these lists.
Trying out the Big Paladin list above. Feels so good dropping a 3 mana Raid Boss Onyxia and winning from there
