I actually am astounded at how much the few little nerfs/tweaks helped revive this meta. It was crap before, I think most of us can agree with that. Most decks were unplayable.
Im seeing quest warrior, dead man's hand warrior, tempo rogue (both elemental and pirates), control mage, secret mage, big priest, raza priest, control warlock, a zoo warlock (only once, but still!), Aggro paladin, buffadin, jade Druid, big/ramp Druid, evolve shaman, midrange hunter!!! Every class has at least one, most of them two, viable archetypes. I'm REALLY enjoying the meta. Great job on the nerfs, blitz! And no, I'm not being sarcastic!
Really? The overwhelming majority of what I'm playing against is Kazakus Priest and Aggro Rogue at the moment. With an occasional Evolve Shaman and Hunter sprinkled in.

Well, I cannot speak for all ranks, but here at rank 3 it's incredibly diverse! I'm having a blast!
for all of you "bored" or "agitated", remember, this is NOTHING like the MSG or Karazhan metas... you should be glad that this is at least halfway decent...
I think it is absolutely abysmal. Absolutely nothing new or exciting everyone including priest is going face. Almost every deck is playing a high roll mechanic. Oh you have keleseth on 2? Guess you win. Oh you have barnes on 4, guess you win! Oh you didn't draw raza and anduin by 8, guess you lose! Oh you drew your patches, too bad!
Fucking awful. All bonemares, fireflys, and pirates. Hell, I would argue there are more pirates on ladder than ever. Hardly a shred of class identity anywhere to be found. Patches needs to fucking go.
All classes are at least low tier2 viable which is nice. Besides that I'm kind of tired of how certain decks are so auto pilot. Like jade druid is completely auto pilot. And token shaman feels bad to play against when they high roll all of their evolves. It's basically the most obnoxious meta, but its also the most diverse.
I don't like it. I am bored of KOTFT and I am bored to see priests and jade druids. My thoughts are bad. I am doing the daily quests (when I remember to do it) and I am logging off Hearthstone.
Amen. I'm tired of these classes, especially priest.
For me the more terrible meta in HS history was midrange shaman, druid after KFT before the nerfs was a very close second and the MSoG paper-rock-scissor are playable but very limited.
The meta we have now is nice, not the best but far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from the worst.
I don't know what you are talking about. I have never been as infuriated at this game as I have been in the past couple of days. Even wild is just full of Naga Giants now, along with standard decks.
I am seriously about to give up on this game because it has been nothing but complete bullshit this xpac,
priest is ruining hearthstone. How fun is stealing your opponents threats in wild? and how about machine gunning down your opponent with a 0 cost refresh hero power?
The meta is super diverse, probably more diverse then ungoro but it's all bullshit mechanics with little class identity and it's either you get perfect draws or you get fucked.
The meta is really diverse right now. Got my eye on aggro rogue but otherwise things are looking balanced.
However, I have to agree the meta is revolving around a few powerful mechanics/cards instead of "decks" as a whole. and it makes a lot of matchups feel like rock paper scissors.
Raza 5 into Anduin 8
Prince on 2 into coin pirate or pirate on 3 to pull 2/2 Patches.
Barnes shenanigans
Bonemare in general. Blizzard has got to hate this card right? It pushes out all the fancy legendaries we're supposed to buy packs for. It's too ubiquitous and you can play 2 of them.
Honestly though, I'll take this meta over Shamanstone any day. I still have nightmares of Tunnel Trogg coin Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem, Feral Spirits.
Sorry, but I think the game is in the worst state I've ever seen. The mere existence of decks like Big Priest, wild Naga Giants, Prince 2/2 and to a lesser extent Razakus Priest are reducing games into coinflips to see if you can draw key cards on curve.
At least with secret paladin, pirate warrior and mid/aggro shaman, you can react to their early minions to reduce the damage. Good luck setting up for Barnes into two Y'shaarj on 4 or 3 with the coin.
It's amazing, constant complains. Meta is better than before, not by far, but it is slightly better. True, it is not okay for priest to be able to gun you down with 0 mana hero power. ''But deck is hard to play, you need to think", true...to some extent. Priest already has amazing cards, so it is not so difficult.. The steal mechanic for priest is a cunt, priest should not have that mechanic, just like paladin should not have murlocs. It is just wrong. Luckily I haven't had the pleasure of encountering lot of druids so far, nor pirate warriors for that matter. All in all, meta is better, you can scream all you want. Remember quest rogue ? Remember Shaman from several months ago ? This is better than that. Not much, but it is an improvement. And to however said it, Innervate is still a viable card.

what are your thoughts?
Yep, it is so diverse when you are on rank 22... Even zoolock !!!

Big priest so fun! Get Barnes! Sit around til then 4. Resurrect what comes back until eternity! Yay! So interactive!
i faced kazakus priest, jade druid, pirate warrior (with keleseth and without), evolve shaman, rogue decks, dragon priest, face hunter. everything between rank 3 till 9.
had a lot of fun till now. especially as control mage and with my mixed tempo rogue.

Legend with : S65 Freeze Mage, S57 Maly Gonk Druid, S57 "Okay" Shaman, S53 Boom-zooka Hunter, S53 Maly Tog Druid, S52 Wild Tog Druid ft.Blingtron, S50 Quest Rogue, S49 Dead Man's Warrior, S41 Wild Clown Fiesta Druid, S41 Hadronox Jade Druid, S40 Wild OTK Dragon Druid, S35 SMOrc Shaman, S33 Jade Druid, S22 Control Priest, S19 Control Priest
It's good to see some positive threads flying around. I agree, so far I see lots of different decks on the ladder.
From rank 4 to legend I faced priests in 14% of my games, which is ok imo for the most played class.
It's also fun to mulligan against pirate warrior or aggro druid but it turns up it was quest/fatigue/tempo warrior and taunt/ramp druid all along.
I'm enjoying things so far, however ppl are always exporing after a change, once the meta settles we might see less archetypes

My arena stats!
My thoughts exactly Must be real diverse on 22. When you're rank 2 It's just Priest and Hunter with the occasional Rogue
