The grand Hearthstone World Championship 2022 is slowly unfolding over this weekend as the fitting finale to the entire competitive esports year. It also marks the return to a larger tournament format with 16 best players fighting for the title, which in turn translates to an impressive number of 64 available decks - with notable similarities and differences all across the field. We've already put all of the lists into our database, so you can give them a try yourself or take a closer look and share your observations with us.
Most notably, the newest Death Knight addition is entirely missing from the competition (just like 4 other classes, to be fair). Even though there was a special rule in place for this edition of Worlds that prevented Death Knight decks from ever being banned, no competitor has deemed the option as worthwhile. 40-card decklists are still with us, courtesy of Prince Renathal; although the latest balance mini-patch has turned most everyone away from including Sire Denathrius (or bringing Hunter, for that matter).
You can decide how expected or surprising some of these choices are - just remember, tournament lineups follow their own set of rules and are best viewed as a cohesive unit!
All Player Decks & Lineups - Hearthstone World Championship 2022
In total, we've got:
- 16 Rogues - XL Thief, Miracle, Deathrattle, plus a varied mix of options.
- 16 Priests - XL Quest and Control, with numerous Boon Priest types closing it out.
- 13 Demon Hunters - The Final Showdown Questline has made its grand return.
- 10 Druids - It's not all Ramp or Alignment; a couple of Aggro picks can be seen.
- 5 Mages - Ping variants, 40-card decks except for one.
- 4 Paladins - Most varied: a couple of Pure Paladins, Control, and Kazakusan!
- Any other classes are sitting this one out.
As for the new March of the Lich King cards? The expansion has definitely left a certain impact on the metagame, so we won't be making any jokes similar to last year's, when the older United in Stormwind completely outshone the newer Fractured in Alterac Valley.
