I think the meta will evolve in a more healthy way overall. More decks should be playable again after Ignite Mage is killed and Quest Hunter is nerfed heavily. Quest PW will still be very strong, but there are enough cards to counter this deck (Nerubian + Crab).
I guess Even Warlock will be T1 again and maybe will be the best deck again.
Wow, if these are the real changes, I like them very much!
It is a "hard nerf" to Quest Hunter, but doesn`t "kill" the deck (maybe T2 or T3 after the nerf). I have to farm the rest 50 wins for my 1.000 wins at the weekend. ^^
The nerf to PW is ok, I think. PW is very strong in Wild but at last for me didn`t feel "op broken". This nerf slows down the deck a bit and we have to see, if this is enough.
The Mage nerf would kill some combo decks - and I would love it! Maybe Secret Mage can step back in the meta? Yeah, it is no beloved deck but no where near "too strong" in the current Wild meta.
I am sad, that the only true counter card against spell heavy decks in Standard and the only good counter to Quest Hunter in Wild got a brutal nerf. :(
(Yeah, I take all your downvotes my angry control players.)
Aggro Decks don`t want to end the turn with unspent mana - especially in the first few turns.
Meanwhile, in wild, this card is too slow.
Control, control, control -.- ...
I hope in the next miniset this control meta will finally end!
About 3/4 what I meet on ladder is Control Warrior, Control Priest, Control Druid or other infinitive heal and removal decks. x_X

I am so sick of playing against these T1 decks over and over again...
Sadly this patch will change nothing about Rogues opness in Standard at the moment.
0 Mana 3/5 rush at turn 3 is still broken as f***.

Don`t get me wrong, I think it is a good thing that we get more bundles and skins.
Still I wish there would be "more love" for Wild from the defs :/ ...
What I hope: A better balancing for Wild.
What I expect: A ton of bundles and pricy skins.
This is by far the worst Standard control meta since Warlock with Voidcaller + Voidlord was T1. x_X
There is not enough food for how much I could puke.
Still noboby enjoying the combo control meta?
Me neither...
Beautiful (constructed) skins! I would love to buy the Priest skin - but 25$ is to expensive. :(

Control, control, control, combo, combo, quest, control, control...
Do you? :)
Are the drops active? I watched Thijs and Kripp one Twitch but there is nothing like "Drops activated" or so written. I am confused. :(
I played some more games yesterday and I got a few more Alliance enemies - but still at the end I got about 75-80% Horde enemies overall.
I am Horde for myself.
"Knowing that we're likely to encounter an even number of Alliance and Horde opponents"
Nope! I played about 10 games today and 9 of them was against Horde. The Horde Legys was just waaaay better it seems like.
Lokholar, the Ice Lord for free are great news for me. It is the only legy card I was 100% sure I will craft - and now I don`t have to. Great! :)
