The best Heart of the Sunken City decks
- Shaman Burn
- Mecha Mage
- Druid Ramp
- Pirate Thief
- Token Demon Hunter
1 – Burn Shaman Deck
With the arrival of the year of the Hydra, the shaman has lost many key cards from his burst archetype. However, the Sunken City immediately replaced them with new, extremely powerful tools, including Boiling Geyser, Teacher, but above all Bioluminescence, which is the key card for this new Shaman Burn.
Thus, this new version of the deck focuses on taking the board at the start of the game. Depending on the match ups, you can use your damage spells to control terrain or save them for a huge round of burst thanks to Bioluminescence. To top it all off, the Freeze pack is included with Snowfall Guardian and Brilliant Ara, which are still just as effective at temporizing attacks.
The result is a surprisingly versatile deck, capable of performing real wonders!

2 – Mecha Mage Deck
In 2014, the Goblins & Gnomes expansion was released, which brought its share of mechanical creatures to Hearthstone and created the famous Mecha Mage archetype. 8 years later, this deck signs its big comeback with new very powerful cards allowing the mage to swap spells for robotic companions.
The Mecha Mage deck is, as its name suggests, made up of a huge part of Mecha creatures that interact with each other for a staggering board grip. The Security Automaton, the Mecha-Shark and the Deep Sea Gate are among the key cards in the deck and allow you to put monstrous pressure on the opponent from the very first turns of the game.
If this deck has few possibilities to come back in a badly started game, it is capable of ultra aggressive outings.

3 – Ramp Druid Deck
Each Hearthstone expansion has its version of Druid Ramp! And while the class has lost many of its valuable speed-up tools, it’s far from out of the game thanks to powerful additions.
As always, the goal is to survive the early game while speeding up your mana curve. Against aggressive decks, holding back assaults will often be enough to win late game. Against more control-oriented decks, you will have to rely on the Oracle of Elune + Naga Giant combination or on the essential Kazakusan to overcome your opponent.
As always, this archetype struggles against hyper-aggressive decks. Nevertheless, the Druid has the tools to handle all types of situations, which makes this deck a safe bet.

4 – Pirate Thief Deck
Hackers are always synonymous with aggression, and this all-new Rogue is no exception. With a very low curve, this deck has good board grip and excels at what the thief does best: generating value while maintaining aggression.
The Pirate Thief deck makes excellent use of the new Dredge mechanic, allowing you to refine your draw in order to always maintain an unsustainable pace. Finally, powerful legendaries like Crabatoa and the Pirate Admiral Double-Hook will deliver the final blow!
If you thought pirates were just for Warriors, this expansion will quickly prove you wrong.
