All four of the winning deck lists used by Pavel this weekend.
Hearthstone World Champion Pavel added another trophy to his cabinet over the weekend, winning the HCT EE Winter Playoffs. As a result, he joins runner-up GreenSheep and third/fourth placed Neira and ShtanUdachi in a trip to the Bahamas to compete at the Winter Championships.
Pavel obviously knows a thing or two about fine-tuning a deck, and so while we all suffer in this rather stagnant metagame, how about taking his tournament winning deck lists out for a spin?
Here’s what he used to take him glory – let us know how you’re getting on with them in the comments.
