I also think it's still too early to claim victory or defeat on some card ratings.
I still think Vargoth is far too powerful in Wild, but maybe hasn't found a good home yet in Standard. More expansions, means more spells, which means more potential abuse.
Bomb Warrior was always going to be a deck. Even if it gets stuffed down to tier 2 or 3. I do think the 7 drop Dr. Boom is at odds with what the deck is trying to do. And that timing is a big issue. For example, my recent opponent shuffled in at least 8 bombs in my deck over the course of the game. I hit 3 of them, and was able to outlast them after they ran out of board clears. I have also been using the 8 drop that replaces your deck with discovered cards because if I am low enough on life AND there are too many bombs, I would rather lose cards in my deck than lose to some bomb RNG.
As I said in other threads, Hunter always finds a way. Deathrattle Mech Hunter is a thing because Nine Lives is a very strong card. For 3 mana, you get a Death rattle trigger AND 'draw' a card. I agree that Oblivitron is not going to really carry that deck and you may be better off just running Zuljin and leaving Obliv out of the deck.
Lastly, the silence package seems to work with multiple classes, but of course priest uses it best. I think its a curve deck that does poorly when behind and doesnt have enough removal. I think a hybrid is needed, not an all in for the Silence. I think that's the trap to the deck.

I've played against Silence Priest and tested it out myself and if you don't stick the board, you're pretty much done for, as the deck really lacks good draw. I've even seen attempts at a hybrid with Divine Spirit/Inner Fire, but not having access to Shadow Visions really hits this idea pretty hard. I think Silence Priest is going to end up like it always has been, somewhere in Tier 3.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
You're testing Dragon Paly?
Sure I will, but i only have the chance to open Hearthstone tomorrow.
Meanwhile i just hop from twitch channel to another.
There was a good hand buff pally during Gadgetzan. It had all the cards it needed to drop big minions on the board.
Oblivitron is doing really well for me at rank 5. Currently 8-1
I recommend it to anyone. It's not that expensive either.
I still don't love oblivitron, but it's better than I gave it credit for.
Marked Shot is appreciably better than I thought.
