The Top Ten
1 Mage Mage is a class that is characterized by its powerful spells and ability to control the board through a variety of effects. The Mage's hero power is called "Fireblast", which allows the player to deal one damage to any target. The class is known for its freeze effects, which can stall the opponent's board while the Mage sets up their win condition.

Mage decks are diverse enough to warrant a lot of different play styles. All of them suit me, and as such, I choose Jaina/Medivh.

2 Warlock Warlock focuses on sacrificing health in order to gain powerful card draw and minion-summoning abilities. Warlocks have access to a variety of powerful demons, as well as spells that can damage opponents, heal the Warlock, or clear the board of enemy minions. Warlocks also have a unique Hero Power that allows them to draw an additional card at the cost of 2 health points.

Zoo is fairly easy to craft to get it up and running on the ladder (Cost Low-High). Handlock involves punishing yourself in the beginning to utterly overwhelm and crush your opposition later on (Cost High).

Malylock allows you to survive with board control and use Malygos's Spell Damage +5 to swiftly defeat your opponent (Cost Medium-High). Each of these archetypes is very strong and takes practice to master. But once you do, prepare to dominate your opponent.

Very good hero cards and power, and quite effective if you are able to manipulate it well.

3 Druid Druid is a versatile class capable of playing both aggressive and control-oriented decks. The Druid class has a unique mechanic called Choose One, which allows players to choose between two powerful effects for each of their cards. Druids have access to a variety of minions and spells that can buff their own minions, summon additional minions, or deal direct damage to opponents.
4 Priest Priest is a support-focused class with a variety of spells and abilities that can heal damaged minions or draw additional cards. Priests also have access to a range of powerful minions with unique abilities that can buff other minions or provide powerful effects like resurrection. The Priest class also has a unique Hero Power that can heal a friendly character for 2 health points.

The greatest joy is to watch that one priestly minion of yours reach over 20 attack and over 20 defense.

Basically heals everything. Always helps.

Have yet to lose with my Priest deck.

5 Hunter Hunter is an aggressive class with a focus on dealing direct damage to opponents and quickly ending games. The Hunter class has access to a variety of beasts, spells, and weapons that can deal damage to the opponent's face or clear the board of enemy minions. The class also has a unique Hero Power that allows the Hunter to deal 2 damage to the enemy hero.

Hunter has some really good secret spell cards. A good example is Snake Trap.

Can be played like a tank due to all its cards that have taunt.

Hunter has so many high-damage epic and legendary cards. Giant Sand Worm is overpowered.

6 Paladin Paladin is a class that focuses on board control and minion synergy. Paladins have access to a variety of minions with powerful abilities, as well as spells that can buff minions, heal damaged characters, or clear the board of enemy minions. Paladins also have a unique Hero Power that can summon a 1/1 Silver Hand Recruit minion.
7 Warrior Warrior is a class that focuses on weapons, armor, and aggressive gameplay. Warriors have access to a variety of powerful weapons, as well as spells that can damage opponents, buff minions, or draw additional cards. The Warrior class also has a unique Hero Power that allows the player to gain 2 armor points.

Although the Warrior seemingly has the worst spells, he makes up for it with fantastic class-based minions and tons of weapons.

I also like the fact that the Warrior is the only class that can go beyond 30 health points!

Warrior has great finisher cards and decent openers to control the game. Control Warriors and aggro Warriors are very efficient.

8 Rogue Rogue is a class on stealth, combo-based gameplay, and weapon use. Rogues have access to a variety of powerful spells and minions that can deal damage, draw additional cards, or generate additional resources. The Rogue class also has a unique Hero Power that allows the player to equip a 1/2 weapon called a Dagger Mastery.

It's my absolute favorite hero to play. The possibilities are crazy. It wrecks in the arena. The skill required to play certain decks is especially rewarding.

Nothing is better than choosing to rush, outtempo, and outsmart your opponent, overwhelming them with combos! I've been playing Rogue since beta, and it's never disappointed. Miracle got a little boring after a while, though. But now it's back with many different playstyles.

Backrow strategies are my favorite. Rogue is by far my favorite class.

9 Shaman Shaman is a class that focuses on totems, spell synergies, and minion control. Shamans have access to a variety of powerful totems and spells that can buff minions, damage opponents, or clear the board of enemy minions. The Shaman class also has a unique Hero Power that allows the player to summon a random totem with a variety of effects
10 Demon Hunter Demon Hunter is a class that was added to Hearthstone in the Ashes of Outland expansion. The class is unique in that it has its own resource called "Mana Crystals", which are separate from the game's traditional mana pool. Demon Hunters are known for their aggressive playstyle, utilizing low-cost minions and weapons to quickly deal damage to the opponent's hero
