I feel like this announcement was missing something.  Perhaps the new Classic cards to replace what got put in Hall of Fame... just a thought.

 The only thing this announcement is missing is: Barnes nerfed to 12 mana.

But honestly, Blizzard actually experimenting with buffs has major potential to be something really good. I'm excited.

 

 They could have buffer Barnes to 2 mana just to mess with us lol.

Control Warrior, Tempo Rogue, or Mech Hunter are Tier 1

Dragon Mage, Token Druid, Murloc Shaman, and Nomi Priest are Tier 2

Zoolock is Tier 3

Paladin is Tier Garbage since equality was nerfed. (Jk mech paladin is aight)

 

 Various other flavours of hunter are tier 2 (secret hunter, midrange hunter, deathrattle hunter) imho. Hunter has a lot of different decks that are decent in this meta. Good variety imho

Token druid is half decent also. Control shaman perhaps tier 2/3

Or play a deck that looks to actively beat warrior rather than taking them to the turn limit?

Mech hunter, midrange hunter, mech paladin, mecha'thun decks...

 The problem is all this decks are destroyed without any hope by rogues.

I have a good chance vs rogue with control shaman and a touph but winnable match vs warrior.

It is just unfair the game draw just because the warrior can gain 300 armor in the same game, if not Elysiana then the 7 armor hero power need to be nerfed hard, very hard.

 Try secret mech hunter. Combination of secrets and some early mechs (Ursatron, Spider bombs) gives you some early plays to fight against Rogue, against warrior you have Mechanical Whelp + 9 Lives + Oblivitron to create 5-6 waves of 7/7s, Warrior doesn't have enough removals to deal with all that. You also have Zul'jin for couple more waves (first wave recreated with battlecry and then you will get more stuff from replayed 9 Lives and Unleasth the Beast twinspells).

I get to rank 2-3 every month with usually tier 3 or tier 4 decks so if you have tier 1/2 deck it should be relatively easy to get at least to 5. I suggest not to switch decks too often, focus on one type of deck and become a master of it, learn better lines, don't just play your cards on curve, spend some time thinking about your plays and what is the most optimal action given board state, your opponents deck and so on.

You can observe some high rank players battle when you get too fatigued, just chill out watching them play and see their lines and strategies and try to replicate that.

Of the decks you listed, all of them should be easy to get to high rank with except Nomi Priest, I think that deck is a meme personally. Midrange/secret hunter is also quite good, you already play hunter so might have cards for that. 

Thunderhead can be played in control Shaman, too. Amalgam, on the other hand, can be played in any Dragon deck. So both cards have multiple uses, not just in Murlock deck.

Taunts are / were druid's thing, not warrior's.

Anything slow and greedy. Khadgar Mage, Control Shaman, Deathrattle Hunter/Paladin, probably any control or deathrattle deck.

Sorry but I strongly disagree, all other DK is there still hope or a way to win.

There you have Raxxar sitting at 6 doing WAY better than all other DK only valeera is on the same level but lucky she is balanced with the cost.

 Rexxar-> ??? Gain tempo a lot of time with the AoE, refill your hand slowly with MUCH stronger minions to the point it's not possible to come back again unless OTK, why not just remove the discover BS and make it totally random that would be so MUCH more balanced.

Guldan -> save AoE, only the hero power is scary.

Jaina -> Play the fatigue game with a proper deck.

Uther -> useless without OTK.

Anduin -> fuck your own board, still need cards in hand for okay predictable effect. 

Rest is kinda a joke and doesn't win on their own.

 That's total bs.

Depends on matchup heavily. Rexxar is great against slow decks without win condition like Odd Warrior. Many matchups he is useless in because he is too slow. Against tempo or combo decks you don't want to even draw Rexxar because it's a dead card in your hand.

Have been playing hunter for a long time and I can tell you many times Rexxar doesn't do anything. There are specific matchups where he is totally OP (slow control decks) but tempo/combo completely crushes you if you try to play slow game and drop Rexxar and then start building zombeasts, you will be dead before you can even create and play any useful zombeast.

Guldan is much stronger which you can see in wild format where power level is higher. 

Mage for sure. And hopefully Shaman gets some playable cards because it already had a very strong hero card in Hagatha. It just needs some solid common / rare / epic cards in the new set and it might be playable.

Just to add, when people have been asking devs for tournament mode for ages, what they mean is a tournament mode IN THE game client so all of us can play it. This is therefore not really meaningful as it will be only for official tournaments where about 0.0001% of players attend.

Survival of the fittest has long been debunked for what it was: a white myth in order to justify the many atrocities my ancestors committed on other indigenous peoples. Nature does not compete, it balances and by it I mean the planet itself.

Here are some interesting works you may want to peruse, but, beware! you might have to abandon cognitive dissonance.

gaia theory

talking trees

cooperation the basics

Games have been used by few to control the many, at all times, in all societies. Divide et impera, here, in your class-room, your work-place, your sports-club

We need to discard / pun intended / these fallacies, now!

 

 What is this new age nonsense?

Seriously guys pay attention to what devs are publicly saying. They have said in recent interview that they are looking at Genn/Baku and would like to have a solution by the time rotation hits. So it's very likely Genn/Baku nerf is happening in month or two. 

I can't take videos with auto generated voice seriously. Either use your own voice or don't make videos. Have a skin in the game.

Sure, after x days lets play fatigue deadmans hand warrior. First opponent? Control secret mage with azalina, which give him deadmans hand and then he just fatigue me with jaina and spells. Very skilled opponent, should have played around it. Fuck this stupid shitty game, how can this thing be even and esport lol? Nothing is serious here, from matchmaking to all the minions and spells. 

 Well, at least he outskilled you. Lul 
DMH warrior isn't very skillfull either in my book.

 Yeah that warrior deck is annoying and not very skill based. So complaining when you play this deck seems a bit off.

Playing against Big Priest who keeps emoting me. I keep clearing and devolving his big minions, he keeps resurrecting.

Then I play Loatheb. Then I Zola my Loatheb. Next turn I play Zihi, next turn I Loatheb again, clear his board. Next turn I Shudderwock.

He goes back to 5 mana and his spells cost +10 next turn. Oh and btw Shudderwock creating full board of Jade golems. Deal with this Mr Big Priest, Spirit Lash is 12 mana :D
