And perhaps even a new taunt or two!

Without knowing any of the new cards, it's hard to speculate on what decks will be like.

Yeah priest is somehow super annoying to play against yet somehow I can't win with it when I play it either

You play priest to make your opponent have as little fun as you.

My prediction is that the value of zoo using only classic cards will go up. With one deck you can now compete on two ladders.

I would guess the exact opposite. Losing implosion, creeper, egg and the almost certain nerf to juggler is going to make that deck a lot worse in standard IMO.

"A" variant of zoo will always persist, imo. It's the easiest hero power to abuse with valuable cheap minions and a general buff strategy. Losing creeper and egg, 2 super sticky value minions, is a blow, as is the tempo swing of an implosion especially paired with juggler, but I'd be shocked if, as a deck, it goes away.

That said I agree with D104, it certainly seems weakened to me.

Azure Drake

I know it still shows up a bit, but I could see it becoming more prevalent.

- no more shredder to poop all over it, hard to think of any card that's more dominated by shredder than the drake
- we're losing three of the more popular 5-drops and something's going to have to fill the gap
- has that Loatheb thing of very rarely being a bad play

Belchers as well so the 4/4 body probably becomes more relevant

This is my prediction for future (and present) standard:

Keeper of the grove is the reason why Druid is OP, combo is a bit OP and needs a nerf (the 14 dmg thing is ok, the fact that any creature on board makes it 20 is the broken thing in that combo), but what makes druid so strong is that it's the only class that has a double silence included on a good card

I think they should make it 3/4 for 4 mana that deals 2 as battlecry and can't silence

the thing about keeper of the grove though, is that it really sucks as a silence card

when you're not using it to remove a minion, you're taking a tempo loss, often a huge one

shredder being gone helps, but often times it just gets eaten up by the minion you silenced and leaves you unable to play anything else that turn

The thing is that when you dont remove a minion it means you chose the better option to silence another

Silence is the best HS capacity and shouldn't be on a good class card like keeper

I think keeper is one of the best cards in the game, but the bigger issue with druid is def combo. If you remove both completely druid is bad

Bingo. Card should've never been printed to begin with.
