Before seeing: if reno isn't tier 1 I'm eating my hat!
After seeing: ok no hat eating.. which is good beacause I don't own a hat.
And look, Blizzard lied and added a new class. And this new Priest class already has two T2 decks. Impressive.
I WAS about to make a "so now that we have 8 classes they really should add more to make it an even 9." joke but Paladin isn't quite dead at Tier 3. Also an interesting point to them:
" but the mid-range version seems to be better positioned in the current meta, as it can perform well against other aggressive decks by stabilizing through giving taunt to minions with divine shield. Unfortunately, there is barely any reason to play the Hand Buff Paladin over other aggressive decks such as Pirate Warrior or even Aggro Rogue, as they seem to perform better against the overall field. Due to this, this new archetype finds a place in Tier 3."
It suggests that Buff Paladin isn't so much a BAD deck as it is a poor meta pick. If the meta is full of Aggro you REAAAAAAALLLLYY don't want to play Midrange. Perhaps once the aggro decks slow down to tempo decks (something that traditionally happens as the meta ages) they'll find a better place. Better than where Priest was Pre MSG at least :P.
