With Hearthstone's ever-growing set of decks, new and old players in 2021 may feel unequipped to keep up to date with which ones are best. Between the deck tiers, recent balance changes, and the release of the Full Core Set, newcomers will have a lot to filter through. We will cover the best-rated decks and what cards are included from tier one through three.

Tier one has the best decks, whereas tier three has the lower type of decks, but there are still top-rated decks within them. Even so, not all decks within the same tier will have the same number of cards within them. Instead, the decks are more based on the ratings of the cards that make them up.
