The first week of the new expansion pack for Alterac's Hearthstone is coming to an end. The new card is powerful enough to shake metadata. Let's take a look at the new metadata.
Deck code: AAECAZ8FBoTBA/voA5HsA6bvA9n5A+CLBAz9uAPquQPruQPsuQPKwQPA0QPM6wPw9gON+APQ+QPhpAT5pAQA
The deck with the highest winning percentage in the current version is Holy Knight. Although it has the same core Libra suit, there are five new cards and several technical cards that can help in the metadata.
Irondeep Trogg is currently the most annoying card in Alterac's Broken. It works well with the Holy Paladin, because this deck has many buffs. Lightforged Cariel is a great hero card, and it can handle many different OTK decks well in the current version. Rustrot Viper and Mutanus the Devourer also help against OTK decks.

Moorabi's wish lasted more than one day. The frozen shaman developed into a new OTK prototype. Bolner+Y'Shaarj OTK was theoretically produced in the previous expansion, but did not see any matches, because there are other faster OTK combo decks.
The OTK combination here is: playing corrupt circus doctor and dunk tank. Once you reach 10 mana, play Borna Hammerbeak, Lightning Blossom, and then Y'Shaarj the Defiler. Every time you use the corrupted Circus Medic, Bolner will replenish your hand by triggering Y'Shaarj's battle cry again. If you need to cause a lot of damage, you can use the circus doctor to kill your own circus doctor to clean up your own chessboard to cause unlimited damage (if your APM is fast enough).
The trick is that you can win most of the time without playing the full OTK. Freeze packs have an amazing rhythm in any part of the game, and it also helps to cycle through the deck and spend time searching for assemblies. Even if you don't get the complete combination, the circus doctor and the dunk tank are enough to end the game after a face-slap with the snow guard.
When playing against other OTK decks, you can use Bolner, Mutanus, and Macaw to completely close your opponent's hand. Flexibility is the key to this prototype.

The OwlTK Warlock's dominance on Alterac's first day was so high that all other decks in the metadata decided to use technology against it. Almost every deck is running Viper and Mutanus against Rods and Owls. It is weaker now, but despite the hatred of it, it is still a meta-competitive deck.
The working principle of the OwlTK combination is to kill your giant owl, then use Tamsin's talisman on your minions and clear your own board to kill your own opponent. Tamsin's amulet can be doubled with Tamsin Roame.
Some warlocks fight against metadata by playing two owls or playing Viper and Mutanus by their side. If you like Owls and survive the metadata, try to create your own list.

Garrote Rogue was at the center of the Stormwind version, and Garrote was weakened in response. Garrote Rogue still found a way to enter the metadata with a new card, Shadowcrafter Scabbs.
The efficient Octo-bot and FIeld Contact are crazy tools that can surpass any other OTK platform. Garrote nerf limits the total amount of damage, but it can still complete combinations faster than any other list. If there are fewer armor decks and more OTK decks with limited healing, Garrote has an advantage.
Shadowcrafter Scabbs is one of the best hero cards in Alterac, and even better when reduced with Efficient Octo-bot. Its heroic power will enhance the combination by deceiving mana. If you are confident to play with high skill caps, please try Garrote rogue.
Deck code: AAECAaIHCMPhA53wA6b5A8f5A72ABL+ABO2ABPuKBAuqywPf3QPn3QPz3QOf9AOh9AOi9AOj9QOm9QP1nwT2nwQA
Scabbs is so good that this deck can be played with three different Scabbs cards, with the portrait of Scabbs. Quest Rogue has gained good gains from the previous mini-bags Deadmines, including Blackwater Cutlass, Edwin, Defias Kingpin and Mr. Smite. Shadowcrafter Scabbs topped the list, and Quest Rogue is one of the best rhythm decks.
Quest Rogue is arguably the easiest meta-deck in the current version. If you are looking for an easy-to-play deck, then this is the place for you.

The last deck of this guide is the Druid of the Sky. Although this deck is not the best on average, it has polarized games and stands out in some games. For example, OTK Freeze Shaman can do nothing against the Druids in the sky, because they do not have any mana reduction, and if each card consumes 1 mana, they will not be corrupted.
If you are looking for the hottest OTK list, the Celestial Druid will be your best friend. It may not be the most successful deck, but it is certainly the most interesting OTK.
