seriously its pretty stupid now because even if going face would be a better play you cant go face, EVERY MINION HAS TAUNT. What about hunter, its a class designed to go face and its already a dead class. Aggro warrior was cancer but its like the only aggro deck in the meta. discard zoo gets sick cards when its already a viable deck. Blizz pls. Paladin and hunter are dead classes and need an identity and fixing
Prefer having tants than just dying to warrior on turn 4.. if taunts are annoying play The Black Knight which is a good card actually if every deck has a big taunt.

I've noticed this as well. They're releasing several lower-cost, high-health taunt minions. Tar Creeper played on curve is going to be a big part of the meta, I predict.
Since Jade Shaman and Jade Druids already play a lot of annoying taunts, I predict that Hunter may become *more* prevalent because of Hunter's Mark.
I think that the meta will become dominated by taunts and answers to taunts. The value of high-attack/medium health minions will increase, as will silence effects. I've been running Midnight Drakes in my budget Dragon Priest deck for lack of other options in the 4-drop slot, and the attack of the Midnights is often key for getting through Jades' taunts.
Forget Tar Creeper. Everyone and their mother will be running Second-Rate Bruiser. Even if silenced you just played a 3 mana 4/5.
It depends on if the deck has consistent Elemental synergy.
@OP - Remember Hearthstone pre-standard, during the good old days of control Priest with 2x Belcher and Deathlord? Aggro was strong then, but not ridiculously oppressive like it is now. I foresee a similar meta coming with Un'Goro.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

If the meta slows to become taunt heavy then Second Rate Bruiser becomes a worse card than Tar Creeper. If anything Bruiser is going to see even less play come Un'goro.

Exept it's unreliable and even Aggro doesn't always have 3 minions on the board, so as an anti-Aggro tool Tar Creeper is always better.
This isn't about aggro anymore. If the meta slows down to the point where everyone is running loads of taunt Jade is gonna be even more Oppresive than it is now. Its not like its suddenly gonna dissapear with the rotation. If anything, this expansion is making it stronger. So SRB will be easier to use than TE because Lotus will be comboing out the Jades like no tomorrow.

Jade Decks, Jade Druid in particular which is certainly the actual problem thanks to idol, very rarely have more than 1 or 2 minions out by Turn 3-4. Second Rate Bruiser's value just isn't there unless you're guarding against Aggro.
fraction? why would they showcase off all the taunt minions in the first 10%. Either were getting trolled or its all like this
We can't possibly know what their agenda looks like, perhaps they chose to reveal a few, and yes, A FEW taunt cards that might appeal to the anti-aggro minded people.
I urge you to go back and check currently revealed cards, there aren't really as many taunts as you're implying to be honest, and we don't know if there's going to be a whole lot more. Time will tell.

Relax. You have seen just 10% of the new set and 0% of the new meta.
How can you already complain?!?
taunts are good...too many taunts? run silence cards.
remember how good silence was? maybe that will be the counter for some aggro decks.
USE YOUR BRAIN TO SOLVE THE META....don't just complain like a toddler.

Man is the Sun.
Woman is the Moon.
The Stone is the Sky.
The Art is the Way.
Taunt is cheat, or so I've heard.
