What is a Deck Challenge?
Once a month, we ask a guest host to bring their favorite deck onto the show. They explain what cards they use, how it works, and why they like playing it.
Then, they put their decks to the test and do battle against the other host (who uses the defending champion deck) in a best-of-3-series, live on the show. If the challenger wins, their deck becomes the new Happy Hearthstone Deck Champion and will be used in the future until it’s beaten.
