Welcome back! You'll probably want to pickup the One Night in Karazhan adventure to start things off with. There's a lot of core cards within the adventure that will likely continue to be used even next year.
After that, I'd look at any of the top decks over the past month and see if any of those interest you. They may not be the best anymore though due to the new expac just launching and we're inevitably going to see new archetypes and iterations of old ones spawn.
Top Standard Decks in Past Month

1. Priests have never been a strong class before LoE. (lol still aren't)
2. Priests have lacked good 2 drops which is pretty much one of the most important turns in the game without playing dragons (wtf Darnassas Aspirant oh and Druid of the Saber Wild Growth.
3. Priests have the worst win conditions (wtf Force of Nature + Savage Roar why is this even in the game???)
4. Druids have the highest quality minions in the game. (Darnassus Aspirant, Ancient of Lore, Ancient of War. Did we mention Innervate????? The ability to drop x minions on x turn and potentially curve better?
5. Comparing Recycle to Entomb what about Flame Imp to Shadowbomber. 3/2 to 2/1???????? common vs epic yet common still better?? real.. put everything from the classes into context and it makes sense.
And you know guess what, Mid Range Druid is still Tier 1 while Control/Dragon/every single type of Priest is Tier 2 and will never each Tier 1 or close to it. There has never been a time where Druid was below Tier 2 even since beta where the deck was so refined it's similar to todays Mid Range Druid.

First try too easy, great deck. Done it with Priest too but this is much better.

First try too easy! Animated Armor was alright on turn 4 too , blocked around 14 damage.

So RNG dependant. I haven't gotten coldlight oracle 6 games in a row within drawing into 15 cards. Extremely unlucky

Nah I believe Ice Block is fine, as a person who has played WoW for a very long time and loves playing Mage and the cards like this are what make me enjoy the game. From WoW abilities being almost the same as Hearthstone is really cool. If I had to remove anything it would be Savage Roar and Mad Scientist. These cards are just broken to be honest really.

Anyone else had the same experience? Quite funny really.
Open 2 packs and get 2 of these. Guess that's 800 dust.
Too bad the legendary sucks.

1. A streamer probably played it and gave it some popularity again (usually the case)
2. It's very cheap and affordable to pretty much anyone
3. It's always going to be quite strong and games go faster and get decided quicker which is great for climbing the ladder.
4. Does very well against Druid which is really popular at all times on ladder.
5. It's a top tier deck and doesn't have too many counters besides Priest with Zombie Chow and a few other control decks.
6. Has more good match ups than bad ones really.
TL:DR
Deck is really cheap, has good matchups, and not too many counters.

Raptor Rogue is alright to be honest if Oil Rogue is your cup of tea I am not sure what will be then. Rogue is a class you either love it or you hate it theres not really an inbetween. The class hasn't been top tier since Miracle Rogue back in beta-s2.
You can try the new Miracle Rogue which requires a bit of teaching unless you played back then or Raptor Rogue.
Sadly Rogue is weak and you don't have many options :(
Raptor Rogue:

If you try Mid Range Rogue then other classes do it better.
If you try Tempo Rogue you card starve super fast but it's quite fun and can definitely pull out a lot of wins.
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/375935-1-legend-tempo-rogue (pretty much raptor rogue but he named it tempo)
if you try control Rogue every other class does that job better.
My vote is for Tempo Rogue / Raptor Rogue for most people but for me it's always going to be Miracle!

Freeze Mage would be nice.
Shield Block, Brawl
Lava Burst, Crackle
Twisting Nether
Talk about some real op freeze Mage.

Tirion for sure imo. Justicar goes into like 3 decks and thats it (Warrior, Priest, Paladin), Tirion fits into more Paladin decks but you can pick the one you desire more.
For me I would pick Tirion.
