I don't think Warlock's discard-zoo thing will work too well competitively but I could be wrong. I think Deathrattle Hunter is going to be ridiculous and Druid with either beasts splashed in or as the main focus. Moat Lurker can be OP in deathrattle decks, it has a lot of flexibility to the situation and maybe it'll pop up in new decks that can bounce it or silence it. Mage has some nice support but I don't think it will make it top tier.
I'd say Hunter won and then Druid afterwards depending on how well Moonglade Portal and Menagerie Warden workout.
You guys voting Druid highest are overvaluing the Raven. And Priest didn't lose this expansion, it got some decent cards (yes even Purify), it's just that Priest has lost almost every expansion before this, and Classic too, and three non-OP cards never could do enough.

Druid and Warlock will make their tier1 decks around new cards. Hunter got some early game, he needed so much. Warrior and Paladin got some cool stuff. Others is irrelevant.

I think Rogue got some neat toys and two of the Shaman cards we've seen have a solid chance of making their may into either Midrange or BogChamp Shaman.

*cough* Menagerie Warden *cough* Raven + This fill out the curve. Beast Druid can exist now.
Copy effects also copy damage. So the Warden is essentially a Faceless Summoner with a conditional Battlecry, at least once people get smart and attack into your 4/6 Taunt. I imagine eventually folks will settle on 1x Warden, 1x Portal to make it a guessing game, but Beast Druid won't support a curve of more than two (6)s, if it can even support that much, unless it's cutting (7)s to get it done. Even then, if you're not winning on the board Warden does nothing, except be a desperation (6). It's not a horrible card, but currently overrated, and might not be Ranked playable. It's similar to Murloc Knight in many ways.
They also got some high-quality Axe/Bat fodder for (1).
As opposed to a 3/4 for (3) which lets you trigger Lock and Load an arbitrary number of times if it survives to Turn 4 or if played on Turn 5, not to even mention the absurdity of (0) cost Freezing Traps. That card is like if Mad Scientist had better stats.
Also a (2) which laughs in the face of Doomsayer.
Hunter and Mage are the clear top two winners, really. Druid and Warrior are fighting for 3rd and 4th. Warrior got Frost Nova now (warning: may fail against opposing Warriors), should be interesting with Doomsayer... hope you liked playing against OHKO Warrior.
all you said is true, but
now from the lacks of earlygame priest is really needed to play doomsayers
onyx bishop totally denies using of doomsayer.
Legend x1: 27th season - N'Zoth Rogue only.
Priest Nzoth with Barnes and bishops can be an okeish deck.
If you resurrect doomsayer with bishop it is still ok tempo play.

Let me change your mind...
