I shudder at the thought of a deck with all these options still having access to one of the most powerful board clear effects in the game, especially in the absence of so many of the old sticky Deathrattle minions. On top of this Xaril, Poisoned Mind has increased the overall power of Miracle Rogue decks with a variety of win conditions. Shadowcaster and N’Zoth have opened up a new Deathrattle-focused build that is capable of creating absurdly strong board states by recycling sticky minions. The loss of Blade Flurry has forced Rogue to play more for board control with creatures, but they have a bunch of new toys to do that. Many pros, who tend to favour Rogue for its high skill cap, felt hard done by the unexpected nerf to Blade Flurry, but the class has emerged as one of the success stories of the early Standard meta. Rogue got one of the best class legendaries of the new set. Rumours of Rogue’s demise were greatly exaggerated Y’Shaarj is the black sheep of the betentacled family for now, because his effect is less destructive than the other Old Gods, though Lifecoach is experimenting with him in a super greedy ramp Druid list. Inconsistency was the initial fear, but from what’s been seen so far Yogg’s consistency is more of a problem- we know that Yogg will generally draw a bunch of cards, play Secrets, and kill himself, the board, and sometimes you. Yogg-Saron is the half-viable one, with players running him in spell-heavy decks as much for entertainment as effectiveness. N’Zoth is also performing strongly in Rogue and Paladin, summoning ludicrous board states from out of nowhere. Much of the early action centred around Druid, because the two C’Thun synergy class cards are so good, but Warrior’s ability to stall might make for a better shell-check out this list which Sjow is working on. Much like Dragon decks after The Grand Tournament came out, there is still experimentation to be done in order to find the class that fits each god best, but it seems like at least one C’Thun deck will stand the test of time. So yeah, against Warlock and Druid it's ridiculous.C’Thun decks are doing work on the ladder.
