Welcome to the Hearthstone realm!
So what is everyone experiencing after the 'Apology Patch'?
I've seen a ton of control warlocks. I don't think Demon Hunter was killed off, but I guess the perception is that people believe it was killed, cause I haven't seen a single DH since the patch hit. A bunch of druids, warlocks, and paladins, oh and shaman.

Shaman's everywhere in diamond
The last 48 hours I've seen the same number of paladins I did pre-DH nerf. 1 or 2 druids. A handful of 'mill' warlocks all running tickatus *eyeroll*. But by far the most proliferate class is evolve shaman. So bloody annoying. They either get the nuts draw and you generally can't do anything about a full board of 2-10 cost minions (depending on if they drew the 9 cost 3/4 that gets cheaper with minions on board) or they somehow never draw their knuckles and you run over them easily.
I've still run into a few OTK warriors as well, but yea, not nearly as many as one would have seen before.
I am seeing almost nothing but Paladins (Diamond tier). I've been playing Totem Shaman and various druid decks in standard and mage decks in Wild. I've not run into the warlock string for whatever reason.
I'm actually seeing a LOT of different decks while climbing ladder. But the decks that i find most common so far are Totem Shaman, C'thun rogue and Mill/control warlock. (And to my surpice a lot of millocks i played against were playing Sathrovarr to copy their Y'Shaarj, the Defiler in case of mirrors)
To my surprise Soul and Aggro DH completely died because of the nerfs, i thought it would still see a lot of play.. But i only came across Aggro DH once while trying out a deck in casual. So that's really nice, I really like this pre-nerf meta so far and i love seeing no DH on ladder! :)
I played a lot of Corrupt Warlock to get the achievment (Play 500 corrupt cards) and it is actually a fun and viable deck. In mirror matchups who gets the Tickatus first wins. But I do not encounter that much of them on ladder.
Shaman seems to be the winner now not being kept in check by aggro DH or hunter.
However, rogue is dominating in high legend since it can beat pretty much anything.
Warrior seems to be the best deck, but games and be slow so I think many people are just avoiding playing it.
