Warlock Handlock looks very promising, at least Tier 2.
Control Priest will still be strong, which iteration will be stronger i don't know.
Spell mage to a certain extent can be considered as a control deck and i believe it will become a lot stronger with the new cards.
I'm still skeptical about control quest warrior, on paper it's lackin some good pirates and maybe card draw.
I don't know why you cry.

Wow, Neophyte sees play in ONE meta deck! What an OP card!
Lets have a look how many meta decks currently are running Loatheb according to the current TS meta report (https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/meta-snapshot/wild/2021-05-24):
Darkglare Warlock plays Loatheb. (+)
Handbuff Paladin plays Loatheb. (+)
Reno Priest plays no Loatheb. (-)
Secret Mage plays no Loatheb. (-)
Mozaki Mage plays no Loatheb. (-)
Odd Pala plays Loatheb. (+)
Pirate Warrior plays no Loatheb. (-)
Murloc Shaman plays no Loatheb. (-)
Cutelock plays no Loatheb. (-)
Big Priest plays no Loatheb. (-)
APM Mage plays no Loatheb. (-)
Renolock plays Loatheb. (+)
Discolock plays no Loatheb. (-)
Aggro Druid plays no Loatheb. (-)
Kingsbane Rogue plays no Loatheb. (-)
...
I will not list every deck, but the statistic is clear: Yes, Loatheb sees some play in Wild, but he is nowhere near "played everywhere".
I listet 15 decks and only 4 are playing Loatheb. So please show me your sources which show that "Loatheb is everywhere" in Wild.
EDIT: Oh and before someone is crying "Oh Tempo Storm is shit, this proves nothing!" let`s take a look at HSReplay too:
According to HSReplay Loatheb has a popularity of about 8% at the moment. Wow this card is everywhere! kappa

Oh my Yogg is only for Pala. We need more good neutral anti spell tech cards.
(And no Cult Neophyte is in my eyes not a good anti spell card, it`s only "ok" and only in Standard. For Wild I think the card is too weak.)
I don`t know in which parallel universe you are playing but on EU on 10/11 star rating elo I very rarly see any Loathebs played anymore.
Beside 2-3 decks (like APM mage and Reno Priest) most of the current meta decks are mostly minion based so most decks see no real reason to tech in Loatheb. He is too often just a 5 mana 5/5 which isn`t good enough in Wild.

Loatheb should be an epic card.

The mulligan is way too long.
Every turn feels like an eternity.
The animations are soooo slow.
Why is HS so f***ing slow? It could be so much faster with no downsides. Its so overdue that HS becomes a way faster game!
