This aggressive Hunter deck uses weapons alongside the hero power to weave in damage. Cards like Shockspitter and Halduron Brightwing help increase the damage output. While Shockspitter deals more damage via the number of hero attacks, Halduron Brightwing gives all Arcane spells in your deck extra spell damage.

Dragons. Dragons everywhere! This Dragon Paladin deck is packed with the minion type. It also includes synergies in the early game to buff cards while pushing tempo and damage. A card like Flight of the Bronze makes use of the Dragon synergy via letting you discover a Dragon and using Manathirst to summon a 5/5 Drake with Taunt.

Pressure your opponent in the early game by using Undead minions such as Incorporeal Corporal, Shadowed Spirit and Haunting Nightmare. Don't forget about the Undying Allies spell, which gives these Undead minions Reborn after you play them. There's also Animate Dead to resurrect one of these friendly minions. Then there's High Cultist Basaleph, which resurrects all friendly Undead that died after your last turn. The synergies are cruel and endless.

It's mixtures galore and superior value in this Rogue deck. The actual name for it is "Concoction Deathrattle Secret Undead Rogue." Discover Concoctions using Potion Belt and gain more mixtures via Vile Apothecary. Then, use some Undead cards with Deathrattle alongside Sketchy Information for even more value. This deck also includes Queen Azshara, Invincible and Shadowcrafter Scabbs.

Stay on the board and take advantage of Deathrattle synergies. With this deck, you can use Deathweaver Aura to give a minion a Deathrattle that summons two Zombies. There's also new Undead cards to contend with such as Foul Egg and Scourge Troll, the latter of which is a great target to grant Deathrattle effects since Deathrattles given to it trigger twice.

Deal damage, use Deathrattle cards and play minions such as Invincible and Dar'Khan Drathir for even more Undead synergy. While Invincible can give a random friendly Undead +5/+5 and Taunt, Dar'Khan Drathir has Lifesteal while doing damage to your opponent's face. There's also the Amorphous Slime package to use in this Warlock deck.

Capitalize on the fire-based additions to this Enrage Warrior deck with cards like Embers of Strength and Sunfury Champion. Fire spells, in particular, can even activate the Frozen Mammoth minion, which is a 4 mana 6/7 Beast. Then, leverage the Infuse keyword with your weapons using cards like Weapons Expert to draw out Imbued Axe.
