How many decks do you have?

Well, you can only have 18, but w the handy dandy copy/paste for your deck’s code, you can keep more on notepads and just switch them out. So I don’t know how everyone else plays the game, maybe you only run a few decks for competitive and maybe a few for fun, but I’ve made a TON of decks.

Right now I have 64 notepads saved in a folder for different decks I’ve made. My favorite part of this game is creating different decks centered around different themes and mechanics. They’re decent in competitive, but I never try to min-max or focus solely on efficiency. I focus on fun.

In case you’re curious, here’s a short list of my 64 decks:

Demon Hunter: Basic, Weapons/attacking support, and Soul fragments
Druid: Basic, C’thun, Jade golems, Baku, Ossirian tear quest, and Treants
Hunter: Basic, Secrets, Dragons, Beasts, Mechs, and No minions
Mage: Basic, C’thun, Dragons, Freeze, Highlander, Baku, Secrets, and No minions
Paladin: Basic, Mechs, Secrets, Kaleidosaur Quest/Librams, Reborn quest, Dragons, and Murlocs
Priest: Basic, Dragons, C’thun, Galakrond, Resurrect/Obelisk quest, Deathrattle quest, and Highlander
Rogue: Basic, Secrets, Stealth, Bazaar quest, Jade golems, Galakrond, Kingsbane
Shaman: Basic, Galakrond, Overload, Elementals/Heart of vir’naal quest, Jade golems, Greymane, Murlocs
Warlock: Basic, Demons, Archaeology quest, Discard quest, Lackeys, and Soul fragments
Warrior: Basic, Hack the system quest, Taunt quest, Pirates/weapons, Mechs, Damaged/Enrage, and Galakrond

I don’t create too many decks, I delete the old ones when they are out of meta. I have 5 (1 is Zayle) decks right now.

3

Ahh okay fair fair. I’m sure that’s pretty common.

I like using Zayle and Whizbang. I use their golden versions since the whole deck becomes golden and that’s a really cool feature.

4

I simply decided I didn’t need Zayle and I think he was priced in at 1000 gold or something.

I more have lists of things, I dream of finishing. Most the slots are taken up by deck’s I have 24/30 cards for.

See you play by decks , i just play by class , atm working on a 3rd one(full class cards)

I also dont save up decks , i delete them when im over 10 all the time or when i stop playing and an expansion or 2 passed by .

6

Hm I got Zayle when I bought the Rise of Shadows adventure thing.

Hm, well I’m basically playing daily, always re-looking at my decks when expansions come out, and eventually making new decks if there’s a whole new theme to be able to do.

For example, Soul fragments was an easy goal for new decks.

I mostly do Wild so it makes sense I see no use in deleting them since they’ll always be valid there.

Oh btw I forgot to ask, what do you name your decks? Do you name them at all? I usually make jokes or puns of some kind.

Like Murloc and Roll and the Jadey Bunch.

I like to have fun. I use to just play for fun, however, I’m pretty competitive and decided that I wanted to actually focus and get to legend. So this month I’ve been grinding and just hit Dimond.

I have been playing for years but just got serious this month. But from the looks of it, you have a lot of fun interesting decks.

I don’t write any of my decks down. I monitor Hearthstone replay, and streamers online to see what’s trending for the day and make adjustments as I go. I’m pretty happy with the results so far.

I don’t like to play the same thing over and over and over, so I do have decks for every class and will play a different class depending on the other players I"m running into or what I’m up for playing.

I’d be down for watching any of your games if you stream.

Ohh cool. Very respectable. Even though it’s not my style, I can appreciate players’ devotion to creating competitive decks that are designed to win.

Yeah, I get bored w decks super fast! Now that I have this many, my interest stays up for a while. lol

Even across several deck types among the same class I try to keep things diverse. For example, Tunnel Trogg and Surging Tempest are pretty similar, in that they both gain attack with Overload, although Trogg is, aside from not being an elemental, pretty superior (although Wild). So instead of always including trogg in my shaman decks w overload, I might use trogg and then surging tempest. Even though one might be a bit more superior, the diversity is more important to me.

Or, across my different mage decks I might utilize different spells for draws, such as cramming session, research project, or arcane intellect. I generally view the first two as a bit superior to arcane intellect, but again, I value the diversity more. So not only will you get different decks across classes, but even variations of similar core cards within one class’s set of decks.

Nah, I don’t stream. Hm, although that might be something fun to consider, especially considering quarantine lol. I’ll have to think about it. It’d be a great way to show off my decks to more of an audience. I am rather proud of them.

I tried creating a warlock deck, but I’m too lazy to finish it.

Just returned last month from a 1.5 year hiatus: Murloc and Pure Paladin, Guardian Druid.

Back when I was so into Hearthstone (4-5 years ago) I usually have all Tier 1 decks of each current formats.

13

Heyy nice very cool. Those are strong decks indeed. I do like me some pure paladin.

14

I only have one deck at all times.
I play only rogue , through thick or thin, lose or win.
Same goes for WoW.

15

i have 4 decks…

16

I am not good at names, and I do not usually copy decks, I do make some modifications, I have a total of 10 decks or it was what I thought I even had and now I only have 2 decks.

17

In the last year alone I’ve made at least 6 Wild decks for each class except Demon Hunter (which I just find incredibly boring to build for). Granted most of the Rogue decks have been variations on Burgle/Tesspionage.

I usually use a decktracker for storage when I delete a deck to make room for a new one.

18

One standard deck for each class, two for the classes I enjoy playing the most when there is room for variation, plus Whizbang which I use at the start of each new expansion to get a feel for the cards in casual.

19

I only play 8 (1 each class except Druid and Demon Hunter), and have 3 more written out I could play someday. But I totally get why you’d have so many:

Certainly the game has a wealth of concepts to build a deck around. The only reason I don’t have your number is I don’t necessary find enough cards to justify making an entire other deck I would play enough. Even with just the 8 sometimes it feels like forever since I’ve played X or Y, so I don’t get bored with the decks I do run.

For example I could see making Priest-Galakrond and would quite enjoy the excuse to play the Fate Weaver dragon to utilize the invoke, but would the deck be much different overall than my standard Priest - not really.

Like yourself, I don’t make a distinction between competitive and fun decks. I’ve always blended the two concepts as best I can. Of course one prefers to win, but win or lose it needs to be fun or else what’s the point? 'Tis a game after all. Although I’m sure for some people the winning is the fun and that’s fair enough. But I want to win with cards that make me smile when I draw & play them even if they suck a little, haa.

Totally with ya on theme! I’d rather play a Warlock-deck stuffed with Demons and lose, than win with a deck which lacks any real identity or doesn’t actually fit the spirit of the class. Another example is my Warrior deck is all dudes with weapons. Warriors, if you will. And if we get slaughtered fine but we’ll go down swinging like Warriors, I promise you!

lol I can appreciate the dedication to only one class. Rogues are definitely cool.

Heyy yeah totally, love putting together distinct themes.

Off the top of my head rn I think one of my favorites is my Baku Mage. Mostly for utilizing arcane amplifier and janalai the dragonhawk.
