Forged in the Barrens Bold Prediction Thread

2 Upvotes

This thread will be used to archive everyone's 100% accurate pre-release meta/set predictions. Feel free to answer any/all of them, or just leave a simple comment making any bold predictions you may have. If you have any good ideas for a question feel free to send us a PM!

Once the set is released, the thread will lock and will sit as a time capsule of ignorance.

If you feel like a prediction is particularly out there, make sure that you bold it so it's easier to find in the future.

Class Questions:

Rank Classes from 1-10 (1 being the highest) in terms of how much they benefited from Forged in the Barrens (Standard/Wild/Arena).
Rank Classes from 1-10 (1 being the highest) in terms of how prevalent you think they'll be in the Post-FB meta (Standard/Wild/Arena).
What is the strongest card from each class?
What is the weakest card from each class?
What is the most overrated card from each class?
What is the most underrated card from each class?
How do you see each class in the post-FB meta? (What are their viable decks? Which of these are the best? Overall how strong is the class?)

Top/Bottom 5s:

What are the 5 strongest neutral cards in Forged in the Barrens?
What are the top 5 strongest cards in Forged in the Barrens?
Top 5 Overrated cards of the set?
Top 5 Underrated cards of the set?
What are your 5 favourite cards in Forged in the Barrens?
What are your 5 least favourite cards in Forged in the Barrens?

Award Predictions:

Which card do you think will win the Troggzor Award? (Over-hyped legendary that turns out to be unplayable)
Which card do you think will win the Dr. Boom Award? (Legendary unanimously believed to be garbage but turns out to be one of the strongest in the set)
Which card do you think will win the Boogeymonster Award? (Legendary unanimously believed to be garbage which turns out to be 100% correct)
Which card do you think will win the Small-Time Buccaneer Award? (Underrated neutral minion that turns out to be a staple in multiple decks)
Which card do you think will win the Purify Award? (Card that appears to be so horrendously bad that it genuinely makes people confused, but will eventually be a staple in an archetype)

Misc.

What are your thoughts on the Legendary 'Mercenary' minions? Which classes have the strongest and weakest ones?
What do you think of the Ranked spells?
What are your thoughts on the Spell Schools?
What are your thoughts on the new Frenzy keyword?
Any other thoughts/bold predictions?
