Haven't had much time to play HS since the release of Knights of the Frozen Throne, but by what I've been reading in the forums, people already know (more or less) what's working, and what isn't.
Some of the questions I would like to know are:
Is there already enough data to know what are the new Tier 1-2 decks?
What are the best Death Knights of this expansion?
I would say yes to Uther of the Ebon Blade and Anduin Shadowreaper because those will have longevity. I would hold off for two more weeks for Corpsetaker. And def. wait 4 weeks on Bolvar.
At this point in Un"goro people thought the Mage Quest was OP.
I actually agree that some of this is already figured out and that some of those are worth the craft... especially Anduin. I'm just reminding people of how the meta shifts over the first few weeks. We definitely can't be sure yet.
Ty guys, will hold on a little bit longer. Hope you're right @9Royalwolf6,regarding the paladin's divine shield deck being one of the strongest in the meta. Since the release of Bolvar, Fireblood, Corpsetaker and Righteous Protector I was really looking forward building a deck around the divine shield mechanic.
I have the paladin DK, and enough dust for two legendaries. I'm missing a lot of cards to play control paladin (Tirion, Sunkeeper, Wickerflame, Corpsetaker). Should I craft Tirion and Sunkeeper even though I'm still missing a lot of cards?
I Would also like to try Kazakus priest, and I have all the cards except Raza and the DK. Would it be better to craft the two priest legendaries, as it would leave me with a complete deck?

Even if you do not proceed with Control Paladin, Tirion Fordring is a great Paladin card in general. He's one of those "can't go wrong" Legendaries who can find a home in any Paladin deck.
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Yeah, Tirion is always a safe bet. I would also wait (as I will) to craft some legendaries. It seems that Highlander Priest will be a pretty strong deck in this meta, but that's not 100% true YET. Just chill and play some games while some concrete facts arrived to save us all haha
It's too soon to tell. I'm having fun with DK Uther but I'm running a deck that I could just as easily pull off without him (standard mode). Divine Shield paladin looks really fun though. Corpsetaker looks good but maybe hold off for a few more days until the meta adjusts (or just follow your gut and have fun)

As others have said, Tirion is pretty much a safe bet if you are already at the point of considering class cards. Evergreen and will be in most paladin decks.
That's sort of the trick. It's too early to craft yet. During Old Gods, we were declaring that shaman was just for smorcing Yogg was worthless and C'thun needed nerfing. Bah, I was seeing people still praising WARLOCK at this point for Un'Goro. YES, mid rotation decks are easier to sort out normally but this isn't normal at all. We don't normally get a full expansion right after the rotation expansion and they really went to town on the oddballs.
Seriously, wait 2 weeks for the expansion. GO play arena if you want to see more cards. The dust will help anyway. Next thursday (not the upcomming one) will be when it's time to craft up.
I think the whole crafting question really depends on how you play and what you enjoy. If you want to play the best net decks, then it is certainly wise to wait. But it might turn out the tier 1 decks are something that you really don't enjoy playing.
I waited a long time to craft things after Un'Goro came out, and that exact thing happened to me. I crafted the Rogue quest, but that got stale pretty fast for me, then I tried Warrior quest, which I also found pretty boring to play. Note that these are my preferences, not a general judgement.
This time around I decided not too wait so long. I had saved a bunch of dust and, for the first time, pre-ordered, so I felt I have a good collection to build decks with. Consequently I just crafted what I thought would be fun to play. Priest DK, Mage DK, Rogue DK, and I have a very good time building whacky decks that don't have some astronomic 80% winrate, but feel very fun and rewarding if they catch someone by surprise. I'm pretty sure this will once again not be the season in which I hit legend, but if I enjoy 75% of the games, independent from winning or losing, it has been worth it for me.

Thanks! :)

Hey guys I need some help

Thanks for the help guys. Which deck (Kazakus Priest or control paladin) is more fun to play, and more competitive?

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
