Hi everyone This is my first post ever in hearthpwn hope it gets some views and people gets interested!
(anyway sorry for bad English i am not English.)
So here is my question since the last expansion the top tier decks classes were warlock, paladin,rogue and shaman (didn't write them in order.) what do you think is going to be This expansion tier list? Priest May be included This time? Or Warrior? That almost died during boomsday (druid is dead i think probably everyone must agree druid going to be lowest tier Class This season :( Enjoy feel free to write any tier prediction here!)
I don't think Priest will be top tier but that's not to say there won't be a solid priest deck. Right now Cloning Gallery decks are very solid and I've been playing Spiteful priest with quite a bit of success. The expansion I think will only make priest more powerful so I expect to see more good priest decks emerge. Again though, I'm not entirely convinced they'll be top tier, best of the best decks but more likely just solid, competitive decks that you can do well with.
I don't think Druid is dead, I think people are just sick of playing it. Branching Path, Ultimate Infestation, Spreading Plague, Nourish, and the death knight are some of the best cards on the format right now.
Hunter's new hero and Oondasta should make it the top class of the expansion
Druid got some playable cards but none that are better than what they already have ... that's to say, druid is going to stay tier 1 and the good stuff other classes got isn't good enough to overtake them by much
Everything else: Meh. Most of the "good" cards are value or combo oriented. Druid wipes the floor with those archetypes by comboing faster. All the high tempo cards are too expensive to be used aggressively
Enrage Warr might not be top tier, but that's because everyone will be running weapon removal for it lol. But there's SO much good support for it now, seriously. If it isn't at least a T2 deck this season idk when it ever will be one.

Besides that weapon...what did it get? Patron was the best "enrage" deck!

The new legendary can be played in turn 6 (or 5 with coin), when druid have 9 manas and ready to play UI in next and the card deny all the ramp advantage + board presence, it is just sad this kind of effect is from a legendary instead a rare or epic.
Yeah, Zul'jin scares me. You can just put him in with practically any hunter list and it makes the deck better. That's not to mention that hunters already are sporting some extremely powerful decks like deathrattle hunter, so I expect hunters to be sitting pretty after the xpac hits.

I think the biggest issue we'll encounter with Zul'jin is that it discourages you from playing the best card in Hunter: Tracking.
Zoolock with some Discard synergy for longevity is looking like a strong midrange deck. Dragon Warrior has been very impressive in their demonstration of tools and I'm sufficiently convinced it will do stuff, Paladin will keep exploiting hero power plus 1 or 2 card changes and keep going face. Hunter hero will be basically clear+make a board, which will be crazy strong.
Tier 2: Odd Warrior, Even Shaman, Evenlock, Burn Shaman, Combo druid, Tempo Priest, Odd Rogue.
Odd warrior has a few more tempo-efficient tools and will continue its polarized matchups, but the right polarized matchups. Tempo Priest will need some tweaking but I believe an optimized list can have a decent winrate. I see a future for Burn Shaman as many of the strongest decks will not run heals. Druid will get carried by the usual 26 core combo cards. Rogue will not be too strong against the explosive starts of Paladins, and armor gains of Warriors/Druids but will prey on Hunters and Warlocks.
Tier 3: Taunt Druid, Exodia Paladin, Control Mage, Tempo Warrior, Combo Shaman.
The last of the decks I suspect will reach the 50% mark... almost. Taunt druid will be more consistent with their "draw win condition" card; not to mention the midrange nature of the meta will not allow for many silences to be run. Paladin will have just enough tools to sometimes survive to play the combo, Mage will break aggro and fold against midrange, while Shaman will not bite or catch many things.

I would like to say that prior to nerfs, there was definitely no argument that Druid was Tier 1, in particular Token Druid did very well before nerfs.

The game will still revolve around Druid, decks that beat druid, and decks that beat the decks that beat druid.
Legend with : S65 Freeze Mage, S57 Maly Gonk Druid, S57 "Okay" Shaman, S53 Boom-zooka Hunter, S53 Maly Tog Druid, S52 Wild Tog Druid ft.Blingtron, S50 Quest Rogue, S49 Dead Man's Warrior, S41 Wild Clown Fiesta Druid, S41 Hadronox Jade Druid, S40 Wild OTK Dragon Druid, S35 SMOrc Shaman, S33 Jade Druid, S22 Control Priest, S19 Control Priest

I think a variant of Big Spell/Control or some sort of Odd Elemental Mage will be tier 1 or 1.5
I'm wrong almost every time; but what the hell. Let's make a prediction.
Tier 1: Odd Paladin, Zoolock, Dragon Warrior, Even Paladin, Cube Hunter, Secret Hunter.
Zoolock with some Discard synergy for longevity is looking like a strong midrange deck. Dragon Warrior has been very impressive in their demonstration of tools and I'm sufficiently convinced it will do stuff, Paladin will keep exploiting hero power plus 1 or 2 card changes and keep going face. Hunter hero will be basically clear+make a board, which will be crazy strong.
Tier 2: Odd Warrior, Even Shaman, Evenlock, Burn Shaman, Combo druid, Tempo Priest, Odd Rogue.
