Best Hearthstone Boomsday Project Decks To Climb Standard Ladder

Boomsday Project is the name of the latest Hearthstone expansion and it focuses on the new Mechanic keyword, a power that enables two Mech minions to fuse together and combine all their stats and abilities into one minion. This also means that Mechs play a huge role in the expansion for the first time since Goblins vs Gnomes which is a welcome addition. Legendary spells have been introduced for the first time too, with each class receiving one incredibly powerful tool.

Which decks are the best to climb the ladder with in these early stages of the meta though? Here’s five of the best decks we’ve found online:

Odd Rogue - RezdanHS

top3 NA with Odd Rogue, went like 20-2 coop with @Ender_hs and @Tank_Wheels ; winning 2 games at 3 wasn't enough to get higher...

Odd Rogue saw immense popularity after Witchwood launched due to Baku the Mooneater and it seems to have only improved in Boomsday. Rezdan’s list includes Myra’s Unstable Element - the Rogue legendary spell - and two copies of Giggling Inventor as the only Boomsday cards, but there’s a few notable inclusions such as Void Ripper and Blood Knight that haven’t been seen in previous iterations. Rezdan climbed to #3 Legend on the NA servers with the list, before also reaching the top 100 on EU servers.

Heal Zoo Warlock - Norwis135

Finally hit legend 1 standard with my own zoolock list. I was kinda pissed by EleGiggles, so added bloodknight, funny meta is real! @ahirun @hsprodecks pic.twitter.com/Om2vvQtcCm

The Zoo Warlock archetype has been a popular deck for years at this point since it’s always been a strong deck no matter the meta. While this Heal Zoolock deck from Norwis135 only includes The Soularium and Soul Infusion from Boomsday, it’s an all-round solid deck that can create some immensely strong Lightwardens if they’re not dealt with swiftly. It’s also another deck that utilises Blood Knights to deal with the infuriating Annoy-o-Trons created by Giggling Inventor, something that is becoming increasingly popular. Norwis135 hit #1 Legend in EU with this list.

Malygos Druid - Tylerootd

Just a grinder playing the most broken deck. And to answer your question: Yes, it is safe to craft this deck :)

There’s a number of Druid lists dominating the meta right now but this list from Tylerootd is our favourite. It’s another archetype that has been around for a while but it wasn’t top tier until Boomsday launched, despite only using two cards from the latest expansion. Giggling Inventor and Flobbidinous Floop are the two Boomsday inclusions, the former used to stall the game and block face damage from your opponent while the latter is usually played as a 3/4 Malygos for the +10 spell damage. Tyler managed to reach #1 Legend in the first few days of the expansion and is now experimenting with a King Togwaggle variant which you can find here.

Deathrattle Hunter - FroStee

It's taken me 4 years. 4 years of never trying, at 4am in the morning I finally can say I did something I haven't done in Hearthstone before. pic.twitter.com/k9kAkt0yfp

Ever since N’Zoth the Corruptor was introduced with Whispers of the Old Gods, Deathrattle Hunter has been an archetype players have been trying to make work but never quite pulling off. Funnily enough, now N’Zoth has rotated into Wild, FroStee has created a Deathrattle Hunter list that took him all the way to #1 Legend. Once again, Giggling Inventor is included as a strong all-round card, while Spider Bomb is the only other Boomsday card included. There’s a lot of lists out there, many of which utilise the new Goblin Bombs and Magnetic cards but this one seems to be the most successful.

Shudderwock Shaman - CucoHS

Top 100 shuderwock. Lista estándar quitando un acólito por evolución inestable. No es necesario tanto motor de robo, y el acólito tiene a ser silenciado, prefiero mas valor . Dejo las estadísticas pic.twitter.com/3aTlzXhL3v

Shudderwock has been a hell of a ride hasn’t it? It was introduced in Witchwood and from the get go, players were using it to completely break the game. Blizzard then introduced a nerf to the card to stop it from being so overpowered (when the effect was pulled off - it wasn’t too great against aggro decks) and it was reduced to being a meme card. Players kept trying to make it work though and it’s seeing some decent success again, most notably in Cuco’s deck he broke top 100 with. What’s fascinating about this deck is that it doesn’t use a single Boomsday card, yet seems to be very powerful in this meta. There’s plenty of lists around though so if you do want to use some of the latest cards, it won’t be tricky to find one that does.
