If you're looking for a strong Wild deck to finish your climb, look no further! In this article we'll go through some of the best-performing decks from the Wild ladder based on HSReplay's data, while also showcasing the potential of the new Scholomance Academy's cards (so no Secret Mages with zero changes here).
Disclaimer: All percentages shown were correct at the time of writing. The winrates are from Diamond-Legend ranks unless stated otherwise.
Darkglare Zoolock
I doubt any Wild players are surprised that Darkglare Zoolock (which has recently risen in popularity in Standard as well) is one of the top tier decks of the format, with this list being the top one with a 64.5 % winrate. griffior can also attest the strength of the archetype, having reached Legend with a very similar list recently.
Pure Libram Paladin
Despite not being as all-out aggressive, this list isn't falling short of its Odd cousins, hovering just under 60% winrate. The buff value is taken to the maximum as the list runs both blood elf Paladins, Liadrin and Lynessa, as its endgame.
Highlander Priest
As many different lists as there are players. This was only the second best list available but I chose to showcase it since it runs couple of new cards more than the best. Polkelt and Illucia have been undoubtedly popular additions, and this list also runs Sphere of Sapience. I've tried the Sphere myself but remain unconvinced if it actually helps.
Token Druid
I could lie and claim that I chose this list over the one that's actually better in Diamond-Legend because this one is better in lower ranks, but the real reason is the Nerub'ar Weblord tech which I really like. It can shut down a lot of your opponent's plays, at least in some matchups.
Pirate Kingsbane Rogue
Yes, Odd Rogues are generally better, but it takes nothing away from the 59% winrate this list can muster. Can you guess which 1-Cost Scholomance spell helps a lot at finding Kingsbane whenever it decides to elude you?

i dont have liadrin and sunkeeper, but i have enough dust to craft one of them, which is really good one? pls help to decide!
I vote to craft the Lady first. Lots of value...
Interesting, I would've gone Tarim first. Maybe my impression is mostly based on the times when the cards were still in Standard, Tarim was a real powerhouse.
Mech pally is one of the world's worst / best decks. It depends upon how you see it. Either you play that brainless deck or you play against.
That's all I have to say about that except good riddance to it. (Not bitter, just old salty)
Even though I lack Patches, I tried the Kingsbane deck and climbed - with only one loss- from bronze 10 to silver 1. This deck is crazy strong, especially Ship's Cannon performs great!
With my climb in the last part of this season, I have been playing the hell out of most of these decks with my own flair to them. I am thoroughly convinced though that these recent builds with Darkglare will cause that thing to get nerfed and HARD at that. The fact that I have been able to drop 1-3 Giants by turn 4 consecutively is really terrifying. Flesh Giant may also be on the list since with Warlock you can manipulate your health so easily, but realistically it is a dominating deck.
The Pure Paladin build, I'm not surprised to see it. Although at the upper ranks before Legend I am seeing a lot of Mech Paladin abusing that Replicat-o-tron with Zilliax. Something awesome about dropping a hero power to get a 1/1 that turns into a copy of the mech on the board is amazing.
Also, I guess because it's not using a ton of recent cards, Secret Mage is really prominent. There have also been a few guest appearances of Quest Mage as well, but nothing too crazy like the other decks.
I really want to play that Libram Paladin but I don't have Lynessa Sunsorrow and she seems a very niche craft in wild.
Decisions, decisions...
I crafted her when kobolds came out, no regrets since, so much fun playing her and it's actually better than liadrin
I crafted her. Even if it's just in the meta every now and then it is a fun card, like you say.
Thank you for creating this article - as a wild main, this was something I was looking forward to!
