Battle-Ready Decks are making a return to Hearthstone and this time around, they are a bit cheaper than before, though only four classes are getting decks.
- A battle-ready deck costs $14.99 USD.
- Each account can purchase 1 battle-ready deck from this wave.
- Any cards in the deck you already have copies of will grant you extra copies that can be disenchanted.
- If, in the future, cards get nerfed in your battle-ready deck, full dust refunds will be available for these cards.
Let's see what the four new decks are.
Rogue - Agents of SI:7
Go go Gizmo! Utilize the agents of SI:7 to collect sneaky Spy Gizmos that can surprise your enemies and swing the battle in your favor. Contains 30 Cards total, 24 disenchantable: 3 Legendary, 4 Epic, 6 Rare, 11 Common.
Druid - Swarming Squirrels
Swarm the enemy with early Taunts, Squirrels and a Peasant!? Go nuts with powerful token-based synergies and finish with Arbor Up! Contains 30 Cards total, 30 disenchantable: 2 Legendary, 4 Epic, 12 Rare, 12 Common.
Hunter - Dwarven Defense
Cast damage dealing spells to fend off enemies. Once you've cast 6, turn the tables of battle with the aid of Tavish, Master Marksman. Contains 30 Cards total, 21 disenchantable: 4 Legendary, 3 Rare, 14 Common.
Paladin - Knights of Stormwind

The only thing I can say is: Meh.
It is interesting how the Paladin and Rogue decks are old (kind of) meta decks with a new legendary slotted in, but the other two are ripped straight from the meta. I don't even think Edwin would see play in the SI:7 deck so it feels more like a theme deck, but Paladin has Mr.Smite which does seem good.
The hunter deck has five legendaries. So assuming you had all five, so that is the legendary of your choice plus 400 dust. So not a good value, but the value is there if you wanted those cards, since the "value" of a legendary is about 5 dollars.
Why no Maestra of the Masquerade in the Rogue deck? I thought they said these decks were optimized!!!
Serious note though... I just came across a "Druid" in Wild that played Mad Scientist and it took me a good 30 seconds of just like "Wha the fuuuuh?!?!" to be like "Oh it's a Rogue in Disguise!"
The Hunter one is INCREDIBLY tempting as I'm missing all 4 legendaries and have been considering crafting each of them at some point
Rogue - Agents of SI:7 maybe.. :O)
