It's too hard to say, but if the lack of Shaman support from BRM and GVG was any indication of how poorly shamans were for a long time, the lack of good cards for rogue from BRM and TGT make it seam like Rogue is going to be the new shaman holding the title of trash class. Shaman might be in the upper echelons of class tiers but I have a feeling based on the card reveals Warrior is going to be very strong, perhaps on top.
Shaman won't stand a chance (and neither will pally): their hero power fuels patron warrior which has no indication if being nerfed (despite being in top 3 tier 1 decks for the last 3 seasons), that means they will still be unplayable except for hyper aggro variants that aim to close the game prior to "the combo".
People were saying that about Priest just before GvG dropped. I wonder how that turned out...
Honestly, I think there are other classes that got a bigger boost from TGT. Druid, for example, got decent removal at last. Priest might not have gotten very flashy cards, but it got a lot more healing synergy (Flash Heal, Holy Champion), a way to do burst damage (Confuse), and will benefit dramatically from the slower meta. The same applies to Control Warrior, whose legendary is arguably the best of the set.
Mark my words, Shaman will not even be among the top 3 classes when the expansion drops.

If patron is still top tier after TGT, it'll be given the miracle rogue treatment.
Patron isn't getting nerfed yet so it'll continue to destroy Shaman and Paladin for the next month despite TGT.
Elemental destruction kills all patrons? Once they combo, they generally can't again for a while. Also, when they combo, they wipe your board so you can just elemental destruction.

Malygos shaman will be countered by armor gain, normal shaman will be countered by patron bursting 50 + hp, doesnt even matter if you could theoretically clear them, cuz youd be dead before. The deck needs urgend hard nerf. Blizz will realize their fail in 2 weeks: Mark of the word!

Not really. Patron doesn't gain that much armor. The full combo for Malygos does 54 damage, which will kill even control warriors (lava burst, crackle, lighting bolt). It can do even more if you include lava shock.

Piloted Shredder, Knife Juggler, Mad Scientist, Dr. Boom
Need to be removed from this game
Taunt Warrior OpieOP
But 3mana (probably in most cases) enemy board clear is pretty radical (of course, the next turn is wrecked unless you can lavashock).

Imma let you finish, but Murloc Pally is going to rule the new meta.
kappa
What about variance wrynn
Ramp will STAMP the competition.
Give a man a Murloc, and he'll eat for a day.
Give him a Murloc Knight, and people will hate him.
Shaman was, is, and will be good vs any kind of warrior, including patron.
I think Control Warrior With extra Taunts And new legend will be top tier
And shaman counters Control Warrior.
