Shadowverse

I'll try to predict what the new meta will look like. Forest: There will definitely be a neutral tempo-control deck with BB as a win condition – it will be either meta or at least an experiment. Classic tempo and OTK, I think, won't go anywhere. Perhaps storm-forest with driver abuse will emerge, but it's unlikely to become something significant. It's possible that clownbolt will also be hanging around on the fringes of the meta; it's unlikely to become meta itself, but it's unlikely to be a dead deck. Sword: There will be a lot of support for commander-craft, some for cannon-craft and cinder-craft, as well as a lot of goodies for mid-range neutral-craft. I think all of this will happen, but classic aggro and mid-range won't go anywhere either; maybe they will simply evolve into cinder and neutral, respectively. Although, maybe they won't. Rune: Neutral-Ginger will definitely be running around, as there are now some good cards for it. There should be an interesting valet deck with a powerful burst on turns 9-10, but this burst is already being countered, and I don't know if Rune has enough draws to consistently assemble it. Disith and Dashka will remain in their places; there's not much left to tweak in Disith, and Dashka will also hold on. Dirt might take off with the new Leva and a couple of tweaks, but it will most likely be burn-dirt; we won't be waiting for a resurgence of concede-dirt just yet. Dragon: Storm and storm-ramp will definitely try to experiment with Barmic, but I'm not entirely sure that it can rise above the level of a meme. Neutral-dragon, on the other hand, will be able to more consistently draw Barmic and dump its entire valet set onto the board. However, due to the randomness, it might not perform as well as we'd like. Storm-dragon will get a couple of new toys. Valet-dragon will really shine; it has a lot of good cards, and several valet archetypes might appear that will abuse Quixote, the Queen, the classic Saha-Lucic-Isri-Baha curve, and a bunch of other things. Shadow: Zys head can't be taken. Ectar, the pest, won't go anywhere, but there's a chance that it won't be as overpowered. Oil might weaken a bit, but for now, I don't see any serious problems for it, as well as any serious support. They will definitely try to create a neutral-valet-shadow deck with abuse of Dark Alice; however, its stability is questionable, but it can be tried to tutor with Ledger. Mint-craft won't rise above the level of memes. Blood: Tier 0, everything is broken, I miss Ectar and the catacombs, nerf Lightning Blast, CyGames nerf Blood please. Vengeance-blood is already so powerful that it doesn't need to be mentioned. Both aggro and control have received a lot of serious tools, from bronze absurdities to both legendaries. Kari might not see any play at all, but will likely become a tuning card in many builds in a quantity of one; Cthulhu, on the other hand, will be that win condition that concede-blood has been waiting for so long. OTK-blood will also likely develop, but this will be more a result of the class's popularity than of new toys. Heaven: Aegis will continue to be overpowered. Storm won't be left behind. A new archetype, neutral-beast-heaven, will appear, with abuse of the lion and the eagle. Perhaps this will be a meme-tier, but in my opinion, storm might evolve into it. Elana and Seraph will be hanging around somewhere; my favorite Guardian, Seitan, is a meme anyway.
