The mainly problem is playing for the second expansion in a row against the same tier 1 deck, aggro paladin e cubolock, tier 2 spiteful deck and quest rogue. That's make the witchwood expansion useless and the meta boring. Such a shame considering the many good but not that strong decks are available today.
Why all this trolling about standard big priest? Go try to play the deck without Barnes and then come back here! Spiteful priest is something else, and could be a nerf target.
And that list is far from complete. Zoo/midrange Demonlock, odd hunter, midrange hunter and quest rogue could also be new meta winners.
If the OP could be more specific, it would be nice!
When nerfs hit, tier 2 decks usually come up to shine, and the decks which specifically targetted old tier 1 decks take a hit with them. Some candidates for NEW tier 1 decks include:
Honestly, I don't see the potential problem at all!
Many of those aren't Tier 2. Battlecry Shaman and Control Warrior aren't Tier 2. And some of those like Taunt Druid are pure counter decks. And that's the point.
After the nerf hit and something like 60% winrate Tempo Rogue goes off, do we revert to a nerfed Knights of the Frozen Throne meta? Because Hand Druid and Dragon Hunter aren't countering a thing.
Hooray for Big Priest?
But Tempo Rogue is barely T2 at the moment and Big Priest is dead. You can't devalidate counter decks to those archetypes while simultaneously claiming that Battlecry Shaman and Control Warrior will never be good.
I will also add that if you haven't played Control Warrior, you might be pretty surprised how good it really is. I would argue it is the best control deck out right now. I have no idea where it ranks as far a a tier goes, but I have been playing it fairly steady this season, and am sitting at just under 60% win rate with about 60 or so games played. Not bad considering it is auto concede against Quest Rogue.

Midrange Zoolock might be a thing if Guldan escapes nerfs.
But Odd Hunter is bad according to most analysis sites. It feeds on Cubelock and of that dies so will it.
And Midrange Hunter lost more than it gained on rotation. And it was weak last meta.
And Quest Rogue might be killed.
Blizzard has been murdering decks left and right or letting them die on rotations. And when they create replacements, we get trash like Freeze Shaman or they overcompensate like Midrange Pirate Shaman. This is why I am afraid. We've given so many bad decks, more decks will be nerfed, and whoever survives will be monsters. It's not like we've never had decks completely dominate metas before.

Whats your point? Yes, we know there will be some decks that become t1. That happens with any balance change, that doesn't mean there shouldn't be buffs or nerfs. There are lots of T3 and T2 decks at the moment, unless something completely new rises up and crushes everything I think the next meta will at least be a little better than the one we've had for 4 months.
the only thing that will happen after the nerfs is that there will be new t1 decks or some already exsisting t1 decks stay the same in power level and people will complain for more nerfs and then it repeats itself
I wish noobs would stop using the words "forced archetype".
I think it is an appropriate term for when blizzard releases a bunch of underpowered synergy cards from a class. We have seen this in the past with freeze shaman, handbuff pally, spell Hunter, and most recently rush warrior. Often the best decks are those which exploit unforseen and "unfair" synergies.
While I did hate Shutterwock, still do, I do not think anything needs to nerfed in Standard. As for wild, uh.... isn’t it Wild? Maybe just tweak Shuttercock a lil bit? Just a wee bit? Peace.

My point is the community focuses on the now and don't look at the future and past to see core issues.
It's always "Everything will be fine after the nerfs" or "Everything will be fine after the new expansion". However it isn't fine half the time.
The Classic and Basic is messed up.
Team 5 loves to put out meme forced archetypes without care of the classes current situation.
The fix everyone okays is to overcompensate bad classes then whine about it once it happens (Discard Warlock -> Cubelock, Handbuff Pally -> Odd/Even/Murloc Paladin)
Things might work out with the nerf. But we must accept the possibility that a WORSE monster deck or two appear. Especially since 1/2 the meta is Classic Decks with a slight twist.
Or we might end up like the Toronto Raptors. "The Cavs struggled vs the Pacers. They aren't that good. Lebron can't do it" they said.
Ahahah everyone who complains about the current meta hasn t played hearthstone for long. I m talking about Undertaker Hunter meta, Druidstone, Aggro shaman meta, Pirate Warrior and Razakus meta. Did i miss anything?

Who am I? None of your business...
Actually secret paladin ended up not THAT horrible. It was annoying, and it slaughtered the lower ranks but tournaments eventually realized that it wasn't that strong against decks like handlock and patron. However, if you weren't able to wield those decks well then secret paladin rocked you.
Not to say it was a perfectly fine deck. But compared to the Demons of Hearthstone it's a very annoying mid-boss.
As far as forgotten decks, Pre-nerf Rogue quest was up there if for different reasons than the originals. The Black Sheep of the Demon family. Also the beta folks can list decks that can make us all feel whiny. Charging 0 mana giants FTW!
I just wanna be able to play a game without having to concede turn 6 vs control decks because pretty much EVERY deck relies on one-card tempo swings.
I kinda of just want to be able to play decks that don't have to rely on mana cheating or packing 10 different removals and 12 taunts.
I mean, Jade Druid was annoying as fuck, but at least it gave you a chance to actually play the game. At least you could always HOPE to somehow win the board and beat them. NOw I just have to pray that my opponent just doesn't X card that wins him the game the turn he plays it because board swings are completely out of control right now.

Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
If the nerfs target Quest Rogue and Warlock they will just be replaced by Big Spell Mage and Odd Warrior.
None of the aggro decks will be really effected.
Spiteful and CTA nerfs will make Even Shaman the mid range king.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
