Deck Tier List (Standard) - Forged in the Barrens - April 2021 (Season 85)

Our latest list of the best decks to play in the current meta.

Hearthstone gives us the freedom to harness our creativity and put together ideas to outsmart our opponents and emerge victorious. Some of these ideas end with more success than others, though. With this in mind, it's super useful to have a handy tool which will help you work out which deck is most likely to shoot you up the ladder, or at least go toe to toe with strong players. This is where our Deck Tier List comes into play, as it breaks down the highest win rate decks in the metagame and guides you through how to play each of them.

For the Forged in the Barrens meta, we’ve already seen a lot of dynamic shifts in the early stages, so keep an eye out for the constant updates on how it's going and what the best decks are!.

It’s important to remember: the highest win-rate deck won’t always be the one you see the most success with. All in all, we recommend you use this Deck Tier List as a guide hub for the decks, but not as gospel on which deck you should always play. It’s about having fun at the end of the day, and when you’re enjoying yourself, you’ll win more. We’re also working on a page for the best Forged in the Barrens Budget Decks, so if you're unsure as to whether to go all in on an archetype, keep an eye out for that.

We’ll be keeping this Deck Tier List updated at all times too, so keep an eye over here when meta shifts and updates come about. Given the developers’ penchant for making sudden huge changes to the game at the drop of a hat, we’re likely in for a dynamic expansion season in Forged in the Barrens.
