Ter Adun (standard setup shadow ally/support deck with a strong hero ability. Nishaven (burn deck, played often at 250-350 levels and can win with a skilled player, but doesn't really stand up to most Tier 1/2 decks' pressure) Tier 3 - mostly decks that can have a competitive game against Tier 2 decks but don't really stand up to the Tier 1 decks Jericho Spellbane (not as bad as he looks, he gives Gwenneth and Boris a run for their money with his ability when he runs aggro) Victor Heartstriker ( Gwenneth with a worse hero ability) Zhanna Mist (basically human speed aggro with whatever support cards) Tier 2 - You'll notice most of the Humans are in here purely by virtue of how strong their ally pool is they are capable of winning games.Īmber Rain (speed aggro heavy deck, with some weaponry)

Zaladar (control deck with the better Shadow critters for aggro)Įlementalis (control deck, often with a mill or recursion theme) Gwenneth Truesight (speed aggro heavy, with Soul Seekers and ranged attack buff cards) Note that in this I'm being very general with decktype and pretending every hero only has one playable deck this is far from true, but most of them only have one style that works competitively with such a limited card pool.īoris Skullsmasher (speed aggro heavy, backed up with some control elements) So anyway, I'm going to try to categorise the current field by hero and general decktype. Bare in mind too, that no matter how much we try to categorise decks, there will almost always be inventive new decks that people have never heard of or thought of that can and will win things these decks tend to rapidly become tiered as soon as they become public knowledge, though We also often use terms like 'Tier 1.5' when we're not 100% sure where a deck should sit. Tier 4 - We don't even bother tiering decks that are so bad they're not worth talking about, but you could call them Tier 4, or 'fun decks'. It is part of the Yari Tribe, which was introduced with its original sole member, Yari Spearmen, back in Dark Prophecies. Yari Marksman is one of the newest additions to the Warrior class pool. Tier 3 - decks that are basically not going to win anything barring some incredible combination of luck and skill, but are still played fairly regularly. When Yari Marksman is summoned while an opposing player controls at least 3 allies, target ally controlled by that player is killed.

Tier 2 - decks that are eminently capable of winning tournaments, but have maybe some bad matchups or some inconsistencies Tier 1 - top level tournament decks, variations of which are played by most serious players In most CCGs, we have the concept of Tiers. There are a number of good decks/heroes out there are the moment all capable of wins, and plenty more than are just a little below them.

arebelspy just made a good point in another thread that some of these decks aren't necessarily broken, which is very true. There's a lot of discussion going on right now about broken/not broken/op hero/blah blah.
