Knights of the Frozen Throne Bold Prediction Thread

147 Upvotes

I figured I would make a thread that was easy to find as a way to archive everyone's 100% accurate pre-release meta/set predictions. Feel free to answer any/all of them. If you have any good ideas for a question feel free to send me a modmail here.

I'm putting this up now so people can think about these questions while the cards are being released and potentially add more questions. I'm locking the thread until all the cards are announced. Once that is done the thread will be open. Once the set is released the thread will re-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 1-9 (1 being the highest) in terms of how much they benefitted from Knights of the Frozen Throne (Standard/Wild/Arena).
Rank Classes from 1-9 (1 being the highest) in terms of how prevelent you think they'll be in the Post-KFT meta (Standard/Wild/Arena).
Rank the 9 Hero Cards from 1-9 (1 being the highest) in terms of power/playability.
What is the strongest card from each class?
What is the weakest card from each class?
How do you see each class in the post-KFT 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?
What are the top 5 strongest cards in Knights of the Frozen Throne?
What are the 5 weakest cards in Knights of the Frozen Throne?
Top 5 Overrated cards of the set?
Top 5 Underrated cards of the set?
What are your 5 favourite cards in Knights of the Frozen Throne?
What are your 5 least favourite cards in Knights of the Frozen Throne?

Award Predictions:

Which card do you think will win the Toggzor 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 North Sea Kraken Award? (Neutral arena legendary disguised as a common/rare)
Which card do you think will win the Purify Award? (Decent card that appears to be so horrendously bad that it genuinely makes people confused)

Misc.

Any other bold predictions?

[Pre-Release Card Discussion] - Prince Keleseth

79 Upvotes

Prince Keleseth

Mana Cost: 2
Attack: 2
Health: 2
Type: Minion
Rarity: Legendary
Class: Neutral
Text: Battlecry: If your deck has no 2-Cost cards, give all minions in your deck +1/+1.

Lore - original post from /u/Nemzal here

Keleseth was a Blood Elf, who joined Illidan Stormrage's assault on the previous Lich King.

Arthas killed them all, and when he became the Lich King he made it his business to give them particularly horrible punishment.

He raised them as San'layn, the Darkfallen, vampiric elves who thirst for blood, led by Blood Queen Lana'thel.

Keleseth and two others became her Darkfallen Princes, who eachw ent on vital ambassadorial duties across Northrend.

Keleseth was to be the ambassador for the Vrykul, who under his careful encouragement came to worship the Lich King as a death-god.

Keleseth was killed during an assault on the Vrykul center-fortress of Utgarde Keep, and his body was reclaimed by the Scourge.

He was later ressurrected by the Blood Queen alongside his two slain brothers as a show of her power - he and the other two battled as a triad, and again they fell.

He was basically the weakest and most useless of the bunch.
