Priest has been in the worst 2 classes since the last nerf, and the Boomsday expansion doesn’t seem to help this class get any better. If Priest remains the worst class until November or probably by April rotation, it should receive a new Hero card
I would agree Paladin is the most likely next candidate. Rogue 2nd most likely.
edit: For the misinformation being put out, Shadowreaper Anduin is not, and has never been a below average card, even after the nerf. Anduin is still a staple in Control Priest and Quest Priest. The reason you don't see it as often is not because Anduin became bad, but there is much less representation of Priest being played, compared to before. You see it less, because you see Priest less.
I want to say Priest, but if they do give us one it will suck because Blizzard is historically afraid to give us good cards, remember what happened with Raza.
I could see a Priest hero coming out. Just because Anduin dk is very shadowy (obviously, being a dk), it just makes sense to have a cool "Discipline" style priest hero power. Don't know what it would be.
Also, I know people have said Druid "because they're op" lol. But the druid dk right now is really boring and vanilla compared to the other death knights/hero cards. I know it's still a very solid card obviously, but still just boring.
And paladin... I feel like DK Uther already should just fit into a midrange/control paladin, but they keep printing cards for paladin to be only aggro basically. I could see a paladin hero card coming out. Just not sure who or what it could be.
Okay, just one more half prediction. Kael'thas blood mage hero card. Get the hype train rolling.

I think that Shadowreaper Anduin has the most utility (or maybe I still won't let go of the card that got me into hearthstone along with raza being my first legendary.) but only in a vacuum. The battlecry is INSANE even if you just hit that one Lich King , but in this meta there are soo many cards under 5 attack that it just doesn't cut it like it used to... The hero power is still awesome even at two mana, as you can Alexstrasza and use mind blasts to 2-turn obliterate your opponent, but things like healing rain and Druid's insane armor gain makes that really hard. They keep printing cards that shut out priest and it sucks. A new Hero Card could be great but what kind of card could you print for priest? Paladin on the other hand DOES NOT need a hero card, as Hero cards are supposed to be super impactful and Pally has dominated the meta for months now.
As of today Paladin, Warrior and Rogue have been classes with least played Hero Cards since KotFT came out, and Priest has been on the low side since "Spiteful Nerf" patch. But Warrior is getting Dr. Boom, so one is gone.
Now it depends in how many decks Rogue and Paladin (and Priest?) DKs are going to be played in the Boombsday meta. But for now, Uther DK is clearly the least HC played in HS.
However, I really hope that after the April 2019 rotation Blizzard will give us a new Hunter Hero Card: Sylvanas or Illidan would be AMAZING!
I think paladin cause Uther is not playing in any deck like thrall and garrosh is a little weak.
Should be rexar
Druid, because they're not OP enough

Basically we can divide classes by the rate their hero are played
A lot-lot:
- Warlock
- Shaman (Hagtha)
- Mage
- Druid
Less-but-still:
- Hunter
- Rogue
Not-at-all:
- Warrior (get new one)
- Paladin
- Priest (after nerf)
So the last two classes should receive a hero card.

Thats why our set this year was complete trash.
Priest, because next expansion could be troll themed expansion
LOL, trying to use logic from players' perspective to predict Blizzard decisions... That is not how it works, pal. ;)

I hope rogue, a new version of Sylvanas would be amazing :3
Wait, what??? Since when is Sylvanas a rogue?
Sorry, I didn’t know she isn’t lol, I know almost nothing about wow lore, please do not kill me.

She is a Dark Ranger/Hunter, but if you know nothing about WoW lore, why didn't you search for her in Google before posting?
Sorry... I guess, didn’t know making such a mistake was a big deal.
Of course it is...
Nice dupe thread. Things sure are going slow before the expansion
