Have there ever been more archetypes in any other tournament? Besides the fact that everyone brought a druid (which is nothing new) it's nice to have so many archetypes. 

Year of the raven? no wai.. .its year of the Druid!

Yes, a lot of people brought Druid.  But besides Warlock also being in a lot of line ups, there are significant differences.  Conquest doesn't let you win with one deck.  So I'm not entirely sure why people are freaking.

This is Jade druid all over again.

Exciting deck choices as always 

Zoolock is new to the tournament scene since the last xpac.  More warrior presence.  Combo Maly druid is fairly new for a serious tournament deck.  The OTK priest is also new.  I don't see why people expect the meta to completely change after an expansion.  There should be a few new decks, but it shouldn't obliterate the viability of older decks.  I'm only super concerned if there's no change after a new HS year.

"new and exciting meta" lul

Wow, even the tournaments are one dimensional. Great

 IMO it doesn't really make sense to put APM priest and Mechathun priest under the same category of OTK priest. Otherwise, great article!

We didn't have the archetypes on the site yet and I'm kinda waiting if they are here to stay or if they're just something people are tinkering with early in the expansion. Since they are OTK based I decided to shove them under that even though the playstyle and card choices are quite different.

 Giggling Inventor is the new frontier of taunting.

No wonder some decks turned to Mage for Aggro.

That card is kinda op imo.

He's good in both control and aggro. Reminds me of sledge sludge belcher, but is actually better, since it requires 4 hits to deal with the taunt part. 

Agree. I am actually using it in all my Odd decks, which are Aggro/Tempo decks.

The card feels wrong to me in both Aggro and Control. 

GG Trec & Kalaxz !
4 frenchies in the top 8. Proud of you guys. We have good players and it seems in 2018, they start to shine !

 so this  is basically the same meta plus giggling inventor. 

great job blizzard

You forgot about Whizbang the Wonderful! ;-) He is kinda invisible, but still lurking around.

Ben Brode should never have left.
