What will be the best classes to draft after the patch hits. Also what cards should I be looking to draft. Like we prioritised abyssal enforcers in warlock and kabal talonpriest in priest before the patch.
In my humble opinion, some classes got hit pretty hard. Warrior and priest have a lot of bad spells and that's terrible. On the other hand, hunter and druid have a lot of good spells. Rogue is also in a good spot. But I think mage and warlock can secure the spot at the top right now. Good commons, good spells and relevant hero powers. My guess for a tier list is:
Just played one Arena run after the patch, went with Shaman (I think it improved a lot as a class now) 12-2 was the result. Bloodlust and Crowd Favorite both far from being great Arena cards before were the MVP of the run, Pantry Spider was really good too and is another card than you usually overlook on Arena.
Btw, does someone have an idea why I can't upload images on HearthPwn?
I would have to think it's Warlock now. They lost Darkbomb and Imp-plosion, but still have two removals in Blastcrystal and Siphon Soul, and 5 common/rare AoE's in Shadowflame, Hellfire, Felfire, Demonwrath and Abyssal, let alone Doom/Twisting Nether as epic. Their board control is second-to-none, usually driving into the late game where their card draw will win it there too.
The scary thing is that only Demonwrath will go in a month with the new rotation of standard, which is probably the worst card I just listed. They will have weak minions, though.
I think removal is king, I would have to say that mage is still in a super good spot, and is probs top 2, I would say rogue is the second but I think they are pretty skill intensive even in arena compared to other classes. So i dunno1. Mage 2. warlock for the average player or rogue if you are skill / well-versed in the class.

mage-rogue other classes become much worse since arena is standart now

Warlock seems quite weak. Mage and rogue were good.
