I'm looking forward to playing the new expansion - it does have some very different and interesting twists. I look forward to a playing Priest again :)
The reveal yesterday, was a big mixed bag of more or less intended missplays, Blizzard propaganda (Frodan and guy trying to make Genzo, the Shark sound playable lol), with very little well designed decks, letting Golems spiral out of control. I still wanna see how Golem decks are doing when people are going to test them online for real.
And speaking of, I understand they wanna show off some of the new toys, nothing wrong with that. But instead of showing some dumbed down versions of the decks, why not invite StrifeCro, Trump, Firebat, whatever, and let them tool around with the new cards fx for an hour, and show it off. They could easily set some criteria ("You have to use X, Y, Z cards"), and commentate on actual good plays.
Oh well.
So many new archetypes! So many new powerhouses!
Jade druid/rogue/shaman, Reno priest/warlock/mage, Handladin/rrior/ter, Taunt warrior, Demon warlock, Secret Mage and I'm missing about a half a dozen other archetypes that are either entirely new or are getting heavy support from Gadgetzan. Not to mention the slew of new powerhouses and direct counters to certain infamous meta cards!
What's not to love? I am beyond satisfied! GJ Blizz.
I feel like the meta is gonna be a bit rock paper scissors with Hunter, Shaman, Aggro Warrior, Zoolock all beating Druid, then Druid beating Priest, and Priest beating the first four... This is just generally speaking, of course there will be exceptions, but yeah for the most part I think we finally have a decent meta of sorts
Looking forward to it.
I actually like the Kabal ideas, they promote more control-style play. Grimy Goons and Jade Lotus push more midrange, which is exactly what the meta is now. I don't actually think that Pirate Warrior will be too good, and that Shaman will rule until 2017.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Kabal classes. Each has a very good class Legendary, and there's an outstanding neutral Legendary, and of course Reno is auto-include for as long as Reno is available. But that not exactly much support for the concept. There should have been more useful cards with the "deck contains no duplicates" concept. By comparison, there are many cards to help build up Jade Golems. And the best part of the Grimy Goons is that you don't really have to build a deck around the concept. Almost all of the cards stand on their own (which is why their cards will be best in Arena).
Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.
Honestly, this is the first expansion where I think most people have no idea how the meta is going to turn out. I only say that because blizzard is releasing cards that call for multiple new types of decks. Much to a lot of people's surprise, there are very few aggro/zoo cards that will "speed" up games which will definitely make control decks a lot stronger. In addition, there were a few control cards that are good, so in all I think the game will be more or less well balanced after MSoG. Lastly, if you look at some of the last legendaries that were released (Wrathion, Mayor Noggenfogger, Genzo the Shark) I think there are going to be some very interesting decks that will come out of these cards. Currently, the Hearthstone community is gripped by this Aggro/Control binary and people are viewing cards based on how well they fit into those categories, rather than seeing how these new cards can interact in unforeseen ways. Blizzard is giving us a great opportunity to get creative. That being said, there will be the "meta" decks like Jade Druid/Shaman, Grimy Goon Paladin, Control priest etc., but from the looks of it, this might be the first expansion where you can really go out on a limb and make a great deck without getting smashed by aggro or control all the time.
