Our Top 40 Community Theorycraft Wild Hearthstone Decks for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Our community members have been working hard to figure out the best way to utilize all the new Alterac Valley cards, and here are some of the finest results so far.

Demon Hunter - Big and Small

Demon Hunters got tools for two archetypes that are yet to find their spot in either Constructed format: Big DH and Token DH. Valueslol has been tinkering with both, as well as a Highlander version of the Token list.

Spinnenhonig and DePachy have also tried to find the "unicorn" of the aforementioned archetypes.

Druid - More Mana Cheat

It seems quite clear that Wildheart Guff has piqued the curiosity of our community while other Druid cards have received a lot less attention. Kamouh thinks that the new Hero card will fit well in this Highlander Big Spell list.

Tsyogan has also been searching for a home for Guff among the usual mana cheat suspects, while MrRhapsody chose a more aggressive theorycraft direction.

Hunter - Secrets

Blizzard was quite clear of Hunter's direction for this expansion, and Alodiel put those tools in use with this Even Hunter list.

Kamouh has been tinkering with some big Beast synergies (Humongous Owl, among others).

Mage - Big Spells

Another clear signal from Blizzard as they kept building on the foundations laid in Stormwind. Florences has used the new big spells to put together this fearlessly high-curving list.

Alodiel, frosthearth, and YunoGasaiNTF have also shared their versions of the archetype.

Paladin - Bit of Everything

Paladins got quite a mixed package of cards this time around, which can be seen in the amount of different theorycraft directions our community members have taken. Bonzo has chosen the Big Paladin route, enabled by Vanndar Stormpike and Cavalry Horn.

[FiAV] Big Pally

Some of the different directions taken by darkpanther01, DePachy, and tsyogan.

Priest - Xyrella and 9 Others

Another class where the theorycrafters seem to have been very interested in finding a way of abusing the new Xyrella's ability. Different versions of OTK-ish damage dealing Deathrattles have been very popular; here's MrRhapsody's version. Similar elements can also be found in frosthearth's and Spinnenhonig's variants.

Xyrella's Nuke

MrRhapsody has also been tinkering with the other new Priest cards, as have Alodiel and sense124.

Rogue - Burgle and Deathrattles

Neoguli decided to ignore Blizzard's most obvious suggestions on what to play this expansion and instead saw the easy Quest completion potential offered by Ram Commander. Shadowcrafter Scabbs was too good to pass though; almost every Rogue theorycraft has included him.

New Villain Rogue

Wild · Quest Rogue · by Neoguli · 4 years, 10 months ago

• 0 Preparation x 2
• 1 Bloodsail Flybooter x 2
• 1 The Caverns Below x 1

• 5 Recurring Villain x 1
• 5 Spiritsinger Umbra x 1
• 6 Vanish x 2
• 8 Shadowcrafter Scabbs x 1

8,380 Dust 965 0 Copy Deck Code

Florences, MrRhapsody, and Spinnenhonig, in turn, stayed closely with the expansion themes with their Rogue theorycrafts.

Shaman - Freeze!

It's now or never for Freeze Shamans as Blizzard went all-in with the support cards, and our own linkblade91 was quick to jump in the new archetype bandwagon. Imagine being Moorabi and still not getting picked.

Stay Frosty, Galakrond

Wild · Freeze Shaman · by StormKnightMelody · 4 years, 10 months ago

• 1 Glacial Shard x 2

• 9 Shudderwock x 1

13,560 Dust 1,035 0 Copy Deck Code

More Freeze from darkpanther01, Kamouh, and LordXav; only one Moorabi here as well.

Warlock - Rifts and Sacrifices

"There has to be a way to abuse this" seems to have been the agenda of our theorycrafters after they got their hands on Tamsin's Phylactery. While Eggs have been a popular direction, SpectreCular wanted more Primes and added only few Deathrattles to guarantee always hitting Envoy Rustwix.

Galakrond Reno Prime Tamsin Phylactery

Eggs a'la DePachy and Spinnenhonig, as well as a cubelock from KilleRacoon.

Warrior - Taunts and Frost Armor

Warrior seems like another class without a clear direction in this expansion. HuntardHuntard used this creative freedom and came up with this OTK list that uses the Hearthstone World Champion's tribute card Glory Chaser to draw faster through the deck to reach the ETC combo.

ETC OTK taunt draw engine?

Wild · OTK Warrior · by HuntardHuntard · 4 years, 10 months ago

• 0 Target Dummy x 2
• 1 Animated Broomstick x 1
• 1 Eternium Rover x 2

Another varied selection of ideas from DePachy, LordXav, and Thonson.
