For Forged in the Barrens Free Decks: Updated Free Decks for New and Returning Players - Barrens Expansion Cycle
I had a quick rating (out of 5) for each free deck.
But I changed it so there is a rating in terms of collection value (what cards are you getting that are useful), vs “competitiveness” of the deck (how good is the deck to play out of the box, or do you need to make changes).
Class | Value (/5) | Competitive (/5) | Collection Value | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Demon Hunter | 2 | 3 | 3 Leg | |
Druid | 3 | 2.5 | 2 Leg, 3 Epic | |
Hunter | 2 | 2.5 | 3 Leg | |
Mage | 3.5 | 2 | 3 Leg, 2 Epic | Has 2x Devolving Missiles |
Paladin | 4.5 | 4 | 2 Leg, 4 Epic | Has AoO Librams and 2x Hammer of the Nauru |
Priest | 3 | 3.5 | 2 Leg, 4 Epic | Has Soul Mirror |
Rogue | 3 | 2 | 2 Leg, 4 Epic | Has 2x Secret Passage |
Shaman | 3 | 2.5 | 2 Leg, 2 Epic | Has 2x Devolving Missiles |
Warlock | 3 | 3 | 1 Leg, 6 Epic | Some cards for Wild Zoo |
Warrior | 2.5 | 1.5 | 2 Leg, 4 Epic |
Not all Legendaries and Epics are made equal however.
eg: DH does give you a lot of the good cheap cards, but a couple of the legendaries in the deck are not really competitive.
