Any thoughts or predictions?

the same as it is right now, warlock.

I'm thinking of Shaman. Reincarnate is so powerful.

Since Naxx came out I tried to play some zoo every now and then. It is not fun. Literally every deck I run into is so anti-zoo, it's hard to pull any wins (except mirror obv.). And so many priests! I never realized how hard mass dispel can cripple zoo (since I've hardly ever seen it being played, nevermind twice in one deck) and it's even worse with the naxx cards! (How awesome is a silenced egg?)

So I have a feeling zoo is fading out. And I have no clue about what comes after. We'll see once the dust settles.

yes shaman is the most powerful with reincarnate combos

No one mentions Priest? He gets the strongest 3-drop ingame (yes,its even stronger than yo Peacekeeper),will have lots of new combos to pull off easily,he might dominate Control-Matchups from now on!

Warlock probably? Priest is getting stronger from its previous spot, but the class has a predictable style and is easy to counter.

I really hope priest is viable. But once spectral knight comes out.. Hes going to walk all over priests. Sadly. 

Zoo sadly. That being said zoo decks can go suck a big fat floppy donkey dick. Yes im butthurt. Tired of everyone running zoo. I hope lots of people run anti zoo decks till they are less of them. Ok my rant is over.

dominant... not dominate.

One of the things that makes Warlocks so dominant is that you never know if you are getting zoo or handlock and it is almost impossible to mulligan for both of them.  If the Naxx cards could eliminate the effectiveness of one of these, then Warlocks would get a lot more predictable too and might not be so dominant.

We'll probably get a rise from mage and hunter that run 2-6 secrets after Mad Scientist comes out.

Warlock and Priest.

Reincarnate has so many advantages, it just looks insane.

Even now - 75%+ of the games I play in ranked are zoo. It's just going to get worse with the introduction of a few other cards.

I'll be playing this next season. It's stupidly OP.

[OFF]Powerofgamez I don't know which rank you play, but in legend the majority is miracle/handlock. I would be very happy to see 75% zoo, that would mean I would have a 75% winrate by picking my anti zoo decks. The problem is the opposite: you don't know what class you will face because the meta is diverse so you can't prepare vs everything.[/OFF]

I expect druid and warrior get stronger. Control classes will get nice control cards and anti aggro solutions. 1 card won't really save priest IMO.

I'm going to really push my Priest deck, personally.  I see a lot of potential.

Priest control is very strong against many different decks, and I suspect you could make a strong case for a priest aggro (well, between aggro and midrange at least!) with all of the new things coming up!  

The biggest improvements will be to Preist.

Dark Cultist is very good, and silences are now much better (they have the best silence, mass dispel).
