Hearthpwn

Boomsday will be the expansion which kills aggro.  Every other expansion was going to be the one which killed aggro, and they all failed, but Boomsday will do it.

This time for sure!

:P

My prediction is that no one will care if this thread was created in April, because everyone is using it now as a boomsday prediction thread.

As for meta predictions,

everyone who crafts floop the first day will dust him in a week when they find out he is too slow,

mech pally will be tier 1,

deathrattle synergies will bring priest back into the meta,

I will que into warlock every game.

I'll open terrible legendary cards

Some cards people thought were gonna be good will be shit like every expansion 

There is a card that no one is talking about that will be the bane of our existence for months 

Wild will get even shittier forcing me to eventually play standard (probably this expansion)

Hope your packs openings go well! This expansion actually does look awesome although I was never huge on the mech theme in GvG.

Druid will get much more out of hand this coming expansion that the expansion after Boomsday will not give Druid as many good cards.

Mecha'thun will shock most people.

Guess it's about time I came back and quoted myself.

Predictions:

1) Biology Project will be used in every Druid deck and Blizzard will nerf it

2) People will start experimenting Minion Mage, which will be a tier 2 deck in the first weeks, but then it will be surclassed by Big Spell Mage.

3) Rush Mech Warrior will be a tier 3/4 deck because it lacks of late game and doesn't have a win condition against control

4) Big Priest will rule the meta again thanks to the new legendary spell

5) Myra's Unstable Element will be a meme card and none will use it

6)Shudderwock Shaman will continue see play and Blizzard will nerf it too but very later

 

 I trust in my predictions. Just give them some more time :)

So, here is my 2 cents about BDP predictions:

1. Druid will have one T1 deck (Malygos/Hadronox probably) and one T1-2 deck (treants) but he won't be as OP as the community screams, so no Druidstone awaits us in the near future. Flobbidinous Floop will see play in combo decks while Floop's Glorious Gloop will be used in treants deck. Famous Dreampetal Florist and Juicy Psychmelon will see some play in combo (Malygos) decks, but they won't be staple cards, and probably will have only one copy of each included into these decks. Mulchmuncher though will be staple card in treants deck, it will be like pre-nerf Corridor Creeper I guess.

2. Hunter will probably be aggro/midrange mech-deathrattle deck (with spell and recruit hunter decks still reliable as they are now), and probably will be T2 deck. Boommaster Flark will see play in that deck, while Flark's Boom-Zooka won't, it will be mostly meme card. Necromechanic will see some play at first but it won't last long, card is too slow.

3. Mage will have some decent elemental control deck, with Frost Lich Jaina and Luna's Pocket Galaxy as win conditions. I don't believe in hand mage deck, so Stargazer Luna won't see that much play on decent level. Tempo mage might see some play with BDP spell damage cards, but I doubt i will be higher that T2-T3 deck.

4. Paladin will have some nice mech tempo deck, but I doubt it will be somewhere near T1 level. Crystalsmith Kangor won't see much play, while Kangor's Endless Army might see play as finisher card for mech decks.

5. Priest will see some deathrattle/quest deck(s) with Reckless Experimenter as core card. Both priest legendaries won't see much play.

6. Rogue will have decent deathrattle T1-T2 deck, as well as quite good burglar deck with the addition of Academic Espionage to it. As for legendaries, only Myra Rotspring might see some play, but I doubt it will be a core card.

7. Shaman might have some nice elemental deck, but I doubt Shudderwock will allow it too become too popular. No really good cards for shaman in this set.

8. Warlock will have nice boost for its already strong zoo deck, with cards like The Soularium, Ectomancy, Soul Infusion, Doubling Imp as core cards. Demonic Project might be used as tech deck vs combo decks.

9. Warrior will have T1-T2 mech control deck with Dr. Boom, Mad Genius as core card. Weapons Project is a good cards for enemy weapon removal.

So, we can check my 2 cents now:

1. Druid doesn't have T1 deck, but has T2 token deck - so 50% correct.

2. Hunter has T2 deathrattle deck - correct.

3. Mage has T2 tempo deck, but doesn't have decent elemental deck - 50% correct.

4. Paladin has T2 mech tempo deck and T1 odd deck -  so wrong.

5. Priest legendaries indeed don't see any play, but priest doesn't have any deathrattle deck either - so 50% correct.

6. Rogue does have T1 deck but it is not quite deathrattle deck - so it is 50% correct.

7. Shaman has even T1 deck - wrong.

8. Warlock has strong zoo T1-2 deck  -correct.

9. Warrior does have strong control deck with Dr. Boom as staple card - it's my main deck now and I am got from rank 18 to 9 with 60% WR with it - but this deck doesn't have any mech but Omega Assembly - so 50% correct.

Predictions seem decent I guess :)

Having seen zero new cards other than the initial 4 or 5 that were shown, I'm predicting a new Priest archetype will be tier 2, Healzoo will fall out of favor, Shudderwock Shaman will have new tools, Ashmore will be slightly more viable but still pretty fringe, Mechs will be all hype but just something for fun, and Paladin will still be broken but not because of any new cards (because of Spikeridged Steed and Tarim). 

Whatever Rogue gets (and however weak it seems compared to every other class), it will find a way to be Tier 2 at worst.  Rogue always finds a way.  

 How close was I? 

>I'm predicting a new Priest archetype will be tier 2

APM Priest is one of the worst decks according to VS.  I was quite off but I'm glad there's a new archetype. 

>Healzoo will fall out of favor

If only.  Wrong here too. 

>Shudderwock Shaman will have new tools

Hard to say since Shudderwock Shaman sees no play.  

> Ashmore will be slightly more viable but still pretty fringe,

Pretty much nailed this one, since Ashmore can draw Zilliax. 

>Mechs will be all hype but just something for fun

Still waiting for the hype to die down, although I we're seeing mechs settle into a couple specific classes.  

>Paladin will still be broken but not because of any new cards (because of Spikeridged Steed and Tarim)

Where the F is Even Paladin???

>Whatever Rogue gets (and however weak it seems compared to every other class), it will find a way to be Tier 2 at worst.  Rogue always finds a way.  

Rogue always finds a way.  This is true for every expansion until Hearthstone dies.

My bold prediction for Boomsday - Mage decks will be based around stalling the game and casting spells at face.

 I'm like Nostrofuckingdamus, me.

Ok number 1 is uncorrect (I wonder why Druids don't run it?) . Regard number 4, Big Mind Blast Priest is a pretty decent deck just now, so it's quite right. Number 6 will be confirmed tomorrow, or at least I hope so... Number 2 and 3 are right. Number 5 is quite correct, just fery few Odd Rogues run it (or Burgle Rogue, but you know, bad meme)

 Now, after Shudderwock Shaman Nerf , I think that Druids will start running Biology Project and Big Priest will find a spot in the new meta too. I wasn't so wrong after all :)
