I feel like Akama and Zixor, Apex Predator are tier two. While neither are win condition/build around worthy, they both are a solid support option in high performing decks. Though they have better synergy in some more than others. From a sheer statistical standpoint, both have positive (>50%) deck win rates despite being in a relatively low (2.9%, 1.9% respectively) percentage of decks (from hsreplay).
Zixor is worthy of tier 1 as it can strengthen almost all hunter decks especially with all the beast buff cards in the meta. Akama is tier 4, though the prime version is annoying on the board it won't be missed in any of the decks including stealth rogue.
I'd say Akama is at tier 3. Decent, but not needed in most decks right now.
Time will show if it proves us wrong and be a staple in rogue decks. Mass removal like Plague of Death, Plague of Flames, Zephrys and to a lesser extend Brawl/Bladestorm can deal with it too easy right now to be a Tier 1 or 2 card.
As I said before Akama is not tier 1 but it is not either tier 4 it is in between tier 2 and tier 3 because it has good stats it doesn't have many drawbacks.

The numbers of Akama are actually tier 1 worthy right now, tier 3-4 is wrong for sure.
Teron Gorefiend gets Tier 1 as a neutral which is a staple in 2 very good decks, but also potential in other classes and for the future. It is meant to be a crafting guide, not necessarily a power ranking.
IMO I think Ancharr is tier 1 in the current meta.
I don't know any relevant warrior deck that doesn't run it (no hands warrior, bomb warrior, etc). As long as risky skipper is in the meta, and warrior doesn't get a better draw engine, I think the card is tier 1.
I'm not sure Kael'thas Sunstrider still deserves tier 1 right now. It definitely did when both Inner Demon combo DH was a thing and Spell Druids were running rampant, but the former is dead-by-nerfs and the latter is seeing less and less play. The nerf was significant too. Definitely still a strong card with great potential, but right now isn't really shining.
I'm seeing less and less Maiev Shadowsongs too. It's starting to feel like a card you put in an highlander deck just because you have a free spot, or if you for some reason want a pseudo silence with some potential upsides (tempo or stalling plays), but that's it. Strong sure, but it seems like the definition of a flexible tech card to me.
One card that I would move up instead is Dragonbane. Messing around with many Hunter decks, I really have an hard time justifying NOT autoincluding it everywhere. It fits in anything from Aggro to Dragon to Highlander to any midrange deathrattle/beast/whatever. Super strong card that can often win games even with a single activation and autowins if not responded, I don't see how you get more tier 1 than that. Definitely a must-craft if you want to play Hunter.
Some new standard legendaries have also been placed in the Wild section. The goal is to place all the cards which qualify for the top 3 tiers. Kanrethad Ebonlocke and Murgur Murgurgle notably have better synergies in Wild than in Standard.
The Wild description for Kayn should be changed, as it currently reads that Odd Demon Hunters can run him. It should say "excluding odd," rather than "including odd."
Ancharrr is definitely Tier 1 now, it's a staple of any Warrior variation currently.
Galakrond, the Unspeakable should be Tier 2, the rotation of a lot of junk made it much better, specially with Priest's new tools. Watched a lot of players at ~400 Legend playing Gala Priest.
Ancharrr is definitely Tier 1 now, it's a staple of any Warrior variation currently.
Agree with this. Not only does it draw cards, it tutors Risky Skipper, arguably Warrior's most essential card. Which in turn, also activates warrior more potent but less reliable draw engine Battle Rage.
With Acolyte HoF'ed, warrior lost it's most reliable draw engine. No list will survive IMO without Ancharrr.

I looked into it, but both win and playrates are currently in the typical Tier 2 range.
It might be a Tier 1 card for warrior players, but warrior is not a Tier 1 class. I will see if the description should be updated.
Warrior is definitely a Tier 1 class with tier 1 decks. High Legend is flooded with it, be variations with Teron/Eggs, Bombs or Grom, and the deck was a constant factor in these 2 weeks of Grandmasters, and all variations use Ancharr as a key card.
However, it's a hard deck to pilot, which makes it not super popular and more so with a card (Ancharr) that was recently nerfed and most people have dusted it.
The deck farms DH, and at least goes even with Rogue even with Gala highrolls. Gallon hit #1 with it. BoarControl, Monsanto, NoHandsGamer, and many others were inside at least #10 with the deck.
Warlock really fell by the wayside, no one is playing Galakrond Warlock anymore, the only Warlocks you see are the highroll Zoo Scrap Imp ones.

Zixor, Apex Predator might end up in tier 1 as well.
However, the meta has not stablized after the latest patch.
Some more cards have been placed:
Teron Gorefiend To tier 1
Magtheridon To tier 3
Al'ar To tier 4
Teron Gorefiend gets Tier 1 as a neutral which is a staple in 2 very good decks, but also potential in other classes and for the future. It is meant to be a crafting guide, not necessarily a power ranking.

Unseal the Vault, Untapped Potential, King Phaoris, Shu'ma, Valdris Felgorge, Zzeraku the Warped should all drop from tier 2 to 3, as those cards really don't have homes right now.
Lady Liadrin should drop to T3 as well, as Paladin overall is weak.
Keli'dan the Breaker never saw this card played anywhere. Prob T3 or even T4 at the moment.
Galakrond, the Unbreakable definitely drops from T1, much better variations of Warrior without it.
Goru the Mightree also drops from T1 as Spell Druid does the job much better.
Reliquary of Souls never saw this card in any list, Priest doesn't have the draw to realibly get it.
Maiev Shadowsong was overhyped, even some Highlander lists are not running her.
Galakrond, the Wretched should drop to T2, Sac Pact nerf really hurt the archetype on where it was great against, didnt see one for over a week.

What about Anka the buried? Still Tier 2?
Cmon, when was the last time it was seen in a competitive deck? This is very misleading imo.
I'll look into it!
