Shacknews Offers 10 Day-1 Hearthstone Decks as Escape from Violet Hold Adds 145 Cards

Summary
10 decklists headlined Shacknews' day-one guide for Hearthstone: Escape from Violet Hold, with builds spanning Warrior, Priest, Druid, Mage, Rogue, Death Knight, Warlock, Hunter, Shaman and Paladin.
145 new cards arrive with the expansion today, and the suggested lists are built to exploit fresh mechanics and legendaries such as Warden Maiev, Jailhouse Manastorm, Aya, Lotus Kingpin and Mug'Zee.
Several decks lean on standout early archetypes: Thijs' Druid ramps to 10 mana by Turn 6, Clark HELLSCREAM's Hunter assembles an OTK, and Death Knight uses The Living Plague to seed at least seven plagues.
The lineup mixes competitive and experimental options, from fast Enrage Warrior and Tempo Priest ladder choices to a self-described 'meme' Paladin deck that prioritizes chaos over wins.
Escape from Violet Hold is the second expansion of Hearthstone's Year of the Scarab, and Shacknews framed the list as a launch-day starting point for players testing the new meta.
