Hearthstone’s meta has changed dramatically since the release of the solo adventure and the cards that came along with it. Blizzard senior game designer August Dean Ayala released his own meta update using data from the last full week, from all regions, between rank 5-legend. Ayala split his list into two categories: the top five decks with the highest population of players, and the top five decks with the highest win rates.

Here are each of the decks that Ayala mentioned ranked from highest to lowest win rates.
