The expansion has arrived, and we're sourcing our wonderful community to see what kind of brewery has been happening on the Wild side of Hearthstone during the first week of Badlands.
Highlander Paladin
As one of the Highlander classes of the expansion, Paladins got some fancy new tools for the archetype. A Pure variant by qullo can be seen below, while Korgano has shared a non-Pure Reno-including list.
Reno OTK Mage
Uh oh. Did Blizzard realize this interaction exists? MarkMcKz sure did. Once you hit Arcane Bullet from Reno's Hero Power, you can just drop Coldarra Drake and win.
Sludge OTK Warlock
Speaking of OTKs, chrisroed has shared this combo list that will blast all Barrels of Sludge at once while sweeping your opponent's board to clear the way to the enemy Hero. MarkMcKz has also shared his version, with a slightly different combo setup.
Dragon Druid
Druid got Blizzard's "subtle hint" treatment for the archetype they want to see Druid players tinker with this expansion, and sense124 duly obliged. Highlander versions of the archetype have been tested by MrRhapsody and anchorm4n.
Excavate Bomb Warrior
Or is it a Galakrond Warrior? Kamouh's list packs a triple threat strategy to keep your opponent guessing.

I have to say I've underestimated this new set of cards. It has shaken up my Wild experience quite a bit, pushing me from playing my usual aggro stuff to mostly Reno decks during the first week. Not sure if that also means a change of the meta, but I really like it. So far I've played or played against Reno Hunter, Reno Dragon Druid, Even Reno Warrior and Reno Paladin and they all had quite a handful of new cards and felt pretty strong. It has certainly become easier to push through the waves of Even Shaman and Pirate Rogue opponents (be they sentient or not) as especially Hunter and Warrior feast on those two. Nothing more satisfying as wiping a board full of Pirates on turn 4 with Theldurin the Lost!
