Demon Hunter: Deathrattle DH won big in this set, Felrattler and Devouring Ectoplasm are exactly what it needed to increase winrate in faster matchups, the deck will see a huge spike in play for sure, Possible tier 1 here.

Warrior: Kresh, Lord of Turtling is an amazing addition to Control Warrior, as it can be brought back twice with Saurfang and N'zoth! There are many routes this can take the archetype, but im sure whatever win condition it chooses, it will have time to make them work. Solid tier 2.

Shaman: Hey look, new class! Elemental shaman is looking like a real thing now, with card draw and much better early game, I can see it reaching tier 2. Fingers crossed.

Not a lot will change for other classes im afraid, so they will remain at their current tier standing.

Who do you think will stay on top? Lets leave our predictions here to laugh at how wrong we were later KEKW.

This card is so badly designed it makes me angry everytime I think about it. It wants you to TRADE YOUR TAUNT MINIONS into the opponent's, the one thing you dont want to do, EVER.

The whole point of taunt as a mechanic is to force your opponent to trade THEIR minions into YOURS, so you dont have to!

So the legendary thats supposed to support taunts COMPLETELY misses the point of why taunt minions are played in the first place, easily one of the most failed designs in HS history.

The worst part of this meta is not rly these two decks separately, its that they effectively cover each others backs and dont allow counter queue. For example, Clown Druid eats Mage for breakfast, but gets anihilated by secret paladin. Control lock beats secret paladin easily, but cant stand the amount of burn from spell mage.

Theres nothing that counters both decks at the same time, so the meta is super hostile to counterplay.

TENTH. MAGE. IN. A. ROW. 

AYALA YOU DUMBASS, congratulations! Did a real good job THROWING STANDARD INTO THE SHITTIEST STATE EVER! 

Warlock is fighting cancer with cancer, thats all. Control decks have to be degenerate in order to win these days, its either Tickatus or stupid crazy value generation, pick your poison. Tickatus is not the cause, its a symtom.

Hell no, the 2 mana one is great in EVERY matchup. You play it on turn 2 or 1 with coin, wtf does the control player do? Nothing. Theres no removal that gets rid of this on 2 efficiently, so most of the time the tower effect procs at least twice, thats HUGE.

Cant think about Celestial Alignment w/o considering Clockwork Giant, its the only proactive play you can make on the same turn you cast the spell. Why didnt you include it?

What about a small secret package? 2x Arcanologist/Rider, 2x Ice Barrier and 2x Rigged Fair Game, checks card draw and survival. You can easily swap Death's Head, Ooze and Firebrand for them (Firebrand has too little cheap spells to work with here). Also Runed Orb is way better than Wand Thief, removal + Discover spell? NUTS. 

Kazakus is great value, but does such a deck need value? The objective is to build a wall super early and snowball from there, not sure Kazakus would fit this strategy. Taelan is very interesting, it can actually become a tempo play with RB and Bloom, good idea!

Im confused about your list, your draw engine revolves around field contact and penflinger, but you only run 06 spells? How are you gonna bounce them? You have more stall than draw, kinda weird.

I think Rogue has to go full Mozaki mode with combos like this, just draw the living crap out of your entire deck as fast as possible, with few key removal options that wont clog your hand often (the C'thun pieces already help you stall to an extent). Just my two cents :)

Celestial Alignment Druid, Hero Power Mage, Taunt Control Warrior and Secret Pally are the highlights. Far Watch Post is the ResidentSleeper btw, saying it first here!

They said in the reveal stream there was a Leper Gnome-like minion for DH that tied the whole thing together, but felt super frustrating to play against so they had to scrap it after playtesting. Hopefully they have the miniset to address this fuck up, but until then its Freeze Shaman 2.0 lol.

I still believe Innervate is too good, enables more blowout turns. I agree Kodo is not necessary, this deck should eat aggro for breakfast anyway, updated the list a bit. Thanks for the suggestions!

What even IS Demon Hunter's identity this expansion. Almost nothing they printed helps the already pre-conceived idea that Demon Hunter is the Aggro/OTK archetype. Deathrattle Demon Hunter? Blizzard is trying to force something again and it won't work.

 They cant, those archetypes are losing very little with rotation and more support now would cause balancing issues. Thats why they often pull strategies out of their ass for some classes, the "pre-conceived" ones would be too busted if those were all they could support.
