Priest will have at least 3 or 4 viable decks. Unless Blizzard prints a counter, Razakus Priest will probably be the best deck still. That deck will probably start running a dragon package with Duskbreaker So I think Priest will be the strongest class in the upcoming meta.
Haven't seen any Warlock cards yet, though. I think Warlock is on the rise!
I kind of like this as a one-of in a meme Hunter deck that runs 2 copies of Call of the Wild as the only spells in the deck. That's probably bad, but it sounds like fun!
Way too slow and inconsistent. Could be powerful, I guess, if you copy the deathrattle with the new Hunter card, Seeping Oozeling and are able to hit that right on curve, but even then... meh. You'd still have a 7 mana 3/3 deathrattle minion in your deck.
Too often your opponent would just silence your 3/3, or they dictate the trade into it and then have an answer for the 8 cost minion it summons.
Having a 4 mana minion stuck in your hand for almost the entire game is pretty bad. I guess it could work in a super greedy control deck or burn mage with Medivh. Seems like there are better late game plays available to those decks though.
I think the set introduced a lot of interesting cards, but a handful of OP cards and combos are hanging over the meta like a shadow. If you draw your one or two cards that your deck is built around, you win. If not, you lose.
The one card that has to get nerfed is Prophet Velen Change it to Spell damage +1, double the effects of all healing.
That card is too powerful with Raza and Priest DK.
Really? The overwhelming majority of what I'm playing against is Kazakus Priest and Aggro Rogue at the moment. With an occasional Evolve Shaman and Hunter sprinkled in.
I'd put them at the top of tier 2 at the moment. I think Hunter is in a pretty good spot right now because it can punish Mages, Rogues and Jade Druids. Priest is about 50/50. It's a strong deck, but also potentially really easy to beat once the meta adapts.
Hunter could fall off very quickly, but for now, I think it's pretty strong.
For Hunter, I put enough minions in my deck to reduce the cost of molten giants to 0, tried to snowball the board with giants and murlocs early and kill him on turn 6. Pretty easy strategy for winning that matchup if you draw the right cards. Only took a few tries.
Mage, I conceded a lot early until I had Kabal Lackey and Mana Bind in my opening hand, along with a Molten Giant. Turn 1 Lackey + Mana Bind. Turn 2, play the spell you got from The Lich King to deal 29 damage to his face and play a Molten Giant. Turn 3+ Stay alive and push as much damage to his face.
The hardest game was Warrior, because I dusted all my wild cards right after Un'Goro launched (whoops). So I just had to go full tempo with Frothing Berserker and whirlwind effects, copy with Faceless Manipulator buffs like Rampage. Swarm the board and hope The Lich King is drawing his removal and that strategy can win.
Got my Arthas last night. I might have to start playing Paladin more.

I think this is the best card we saw today by a fair margin.

Does it pull it randomly, or is it like the discover mechanic?
If its the latter, Big Warrior will be a really cool deck.

I agree with DKs being some of the best cards they've released.
All of them are or will be viable.

I haven't played as Hunter in a while but I've seen several hunters running Loot Hoarder along with some deathrattle activation like Play Dead and Terrorscale Stalker.
You also get synergy with Savannah Highmane, Kindly Grandmother and Rat Pack
