Blizzard is a cash cow that doesn't care about the state of the world they just care about emptying your wallet.
and here come the trolls
It's hard to say what's happening behind the scenes. The patch is out, but they might be doing some fine doing, fixing bugs that came with the patch etc. so they the expansion might not be ready to launch.
Of course it won't be nerfed. This game needs more ways to counter and interact with your opponents cards not removing the few meaningful ways there is!
I agree with this tier list right here! My only change would be Priest. Priest is losing quite a number of cards and the cards that are rotating in are not enough to fill the void. I'd imagine they'll be C tier until another good "package" of cards comes their way.
I put priest there cos I believe it will be decent against aggressive decks, which there will be plenty of, but it might be worse. Same reason why I don't but rogue higher in the list cos it might struggle against the aggressive decks.
1 mana draw a card with 2/1 body for a class that will have good aggro already? at this point the problem will be which op 1 drops to choose when building DH lists.
Maraad and Maraad prime, push the pure Paladin theme. Maraad could be a midrange divine shield taunt and Maraad prime a finisher with the pure Paladin theme. That would have been my take.
The murloc is quite strong stand alone card even if the murlocs that he summons wouldn't be so great since he creates a board out of nothing all by himself, but flavor wise it's super bad.
this is a make or brake kind year for HS more or less. They try a lot of new and intreseting sounding stuff, they have a lot of new stuff coming and this expansion looks sweet in terms of flavor and the new class, but there are some busted cards in the set and DH looks kinda busted as a class so it can become a nerf fiesta in the beginning for sure, which can lower the quality.
So the reveals are coming to an end and I'm just curious of what people see as the top 3 cards of the set. You can name the cards either on power level or how much you wanna play with them or both.
Power:
1. Guardian Augmerchant Top 3 neutral 1-drops ever printed which makes it top 3 1-drops ever in my books. Cards completely busted.
2. Maiev Shadowsong it's neutral which makes it super versatile and powerful and it will see a lot of play for sure
3. Teron Gorefiend a bit of a wildcard guess for me, but some one will brake this card for sure at least in wild and probably in standard too, plus it's neutral.
Yes there is a lot of powerful class cards especially DH stuff, but I value neutral cards higher, cos they are more likely to see play or define the format.
in terms of flavor/how much I wanna test them:
1. Teron Gorefiend I wanna brake this card, plus he's top 3 in my all time warcraft characters
I think the mainproblem is Mana Burn. Ordinary control starts doing something with aggro from turn 4,5. Properly chaining Mana Burn , Mana Burn, Loatheb shuts up classical AoE.

Good: They are trying new stuff and new approach with design
Bad: DH is cool, but obviously overtuned and it gives people a reason to cry about aggro

making it 2 mana 2/1 would be better

As positive as always

Huge potential, but I have my worries.

2. Zixor, Apex Predator I just wanna make a clunky OTK with this guy
3. Akama I wanna build a deck with him as the win condition, for me permanent stealth just sounds fun trying to brake the game with.
and I am excited to experiment with DH as a whole so didn't include any single cards from them.

I have been thinking the same thing Mana Burn breaks the games rules a bit too much and will probably have to be nerfed.

Top 3 cards of the set for sure and top 3 1-drops ever printed.

One of the strongest 1-drops in a long long time. Will see a lot of play

Maraad and they used Liadrin into the other card so there was potential
