It will take a while for everything to settle (bot stability and the meta) before we can worry about getting good ranks again. Joyadmin and I have both gotten silverfish to compile (mine with most HB updates added, his I don't know) but it seems that HR isn't calling silverfish to calculate boards and is always using the default AI... I'm waiting to see what he comes up with before doing much more.
Decks that used to be good are generally still good in wild. There was even a 8 person wild tourney in Korea last weekend and most of the decks were old decks with none of the new cards, it made it quite boring. For standard format the only clearly strong deck IMO is midrange shaman which is mostly the old aggro shaman deck with a few cards replaced with the new OP shaman midrange minions that are stat'ed like late game minions.
IMO farm some golden portraits/gold until near the end of the month when ranking will become easier and everything will be more stable, or help try to find decks that work well and write some deckrules (or _mulligan/_combo once we get silverfish working).
