So this spring will be the first set rotation many of us have been through (myself included), and it raises a couple questions.
For those that have been through previous rotations, do you think there will be a big swing to more players plying Wild? At least right now, I feel like I will probably start playing Wild a lot more, since so many of the decks I an used to piloting will be moving to that format.
And for everyone ... what decks will still be around? Who do you think comes out on top? And (answering my own question here) ... will Warlock be very OP?
It seems like several of the Warlock decks may be extremely dominant after the rotation. Rogue looks to be in a good position also. Warrior could see a surge.
Obviously, we don't know what the corresponding expansion will bring us, so it is hard to speculate, but what are your thoughts?

I wanna glide down, over Mulholland I wanna write her, name in the sky I wanna free fall, out into nothin' Gonna leave this, world for awhile
No one really knows what will be powerful after the rotation because the HoF rotation will occur as well. Blizzard might surprise us and move multiple key cards to HoF that make certain decks work or even nerf a few cards in a sweeping balance change. Also, as you stated, a new expansion will come out right around the time as well.
As for going to Wild, the answer for me is a definite no. Just isn't my thing. HoF rotation and the Standard rotation is a dust extravaganza for me as I dust everything in my collection when it goes to Wild :).
With the past 2 rotations there has not been a grand exodus to wild and I don't see that changing. I love wild tbh.
To your second question, Cubelock and control lock should still be around as they have mostly standard cards. I can see Tempo Rogue persisting as well.
Any other existing decks are hard to say until we know what is coming in the next set. Anything Jade is gone and Raza Priest is gone. Aggro mage could persist even if Ice Block rotates but would be weaker without Medivh's Valet. Quest Mage is probably done without Ice Block. Big Spell Mage could probably survive with the 1/2 armor gain guy and Jaina. Spell Hunter and Face Hunter will persist, although they aren't exactly meta defining decks.
