Pirates took over the meta with the adition of Small-Time Buccaneer and Patches the Pirate and you often take lethal in turn 5, Shaman is still tier 1, but now back in aggro form using pirates, but he is not alone there, pirate Warrior rises with him along with renolock and reno mage, which is one of the few counters, hence the nickname of the meta, Patches Vs. Renos/Kazakus.
But, not for long, although reno's are inconsistent, because... well, that is the condition for your cards to trigger, they'll rotate, and Kazakus even if super powerful, will not be enough to justify the decks existence.
Jade Druids auto win control decks with Jade Idol, a 1 infinite combo card, but are now not that frequent in the meta in comparison to launch of MsoG.
Priests are now tier 2 due to Drakonid Operative and gave his trash tier to Hunter. Palladin is a little better than our beasts' friend, but not that much, most used deck in ladder is Anyfin.
Some classic cards will rotate, no cards will be moved to classic(reno, Justicar, Brann, etc) and Team 5 became a little more communicative, community often bashes whatever they say, half the time they say gibberish, and... I thinks that's it for a start.
if you like control just go Reno mage with heavy tech vs aggro. You can win 70% of the games.
however, you will loses vs mirror and greedy deck(ie: Reno mage with extra 5 legendary). Which is quite normal especially for community in heartpwn. Everyday, 10 new anti aggro threads incoming because they cannot play greedy deck. Even otk, dragon priest, jade also become victim because heavy favour again control deck.
you can now enjoy a beautyful meta in which there is not a single deck which can beats everything as it was with mid shaman pre MSG.
every meta deck has bad and good match up's and you can change your deck on ladder daily since there will be days where you will face a lot of aggro, next day you will face a lot of reno so it's fun to try to do counter pick's.
Priest is alive and you will face it on ladder (dragon or reno version) :O
on the other hand hunter and paladin seems dead classes now.
Actually the meta now has two deck archetypes control and aggro that define the meta instead of one deck, midrange shaman. And fun decks have more options so really it is a great time to return it is better than when he left
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
it's a great moment to come back, play for a couple of months before Reno rotates out allowing pirate aggro to flush hearthstone down the toilet. Without Reno, highlander decks will be...to put it nicely: tier 40; and well those decks are the only ones who currently counter pirate aggro.
After facing lerroy miracle meta,undertaker meta,secret paladin meta,shamanstone meta this is the 2cd worst period of hearthstone.If you want to counter the aggro you are out of luck.You can play decks that are favoured against them like full teched reno decks and control warrior but you can't hard counter them (more than 60% winratio) while you are getting hard countered by jade decks (jade druid and the full jade package shaman).More than 55% of legend ladder are pirate smorc face this alone shows how shitty the game has become.
wow guys you really burst my bubble, but it's to be expected i guess, looks like i have to wait until the next expansion
you misunderstood my post.... waiting for the next expansion is what you absolutely shouldn't do, this Meta is good because there are decks that counter Pirate aggro but have clear exploitable weak spots, however these decks rely on Reno Jackson, so once he rotates out, Pirate aggro will reign supreme.
Meta before rotation= decent and varied, not the best but definitely not the worst. Meta after rotation= we don't know because it'll come with an expansion but with High chances of Pirates flushing Hearthstone down the toilet

Control warrior is the best matchup vs aggro decks and doesn't run reno.
Renolock runs reno and is not a favorite against aggro (though mage and priest are)
also, are there any news of upcoming stuff ?

Do you come from when shaman was dominating the meta?
Nothing has changed.
