With Day 6 in the books, we're still seeing a lot of diversity and some change, but there are some signs of the first Boomsday meta beginning to manifest with some consistency at the top.
Power Rankings
Here's a look at the Class Power Rankings after Day 6 of Boomsday.
Hunter has made a huge push with Secret Hunter, Spell Hunter, and Deathrattle Hunter having a huge spike. All 3 Hunter archetypes have great matchups against a lot of the popular decks (particularly Rogue). Because of this rise in Hunter, we saw the biggest drop in Paladin. Warlock continues to normalize from its hot start, but I'd be surprised if it gets much lower than its current levels.
What's Everyone Playing?
Here's the class rankings based on popularity right now.
There's been very little change here in the last 24 hours. The normalization of Warlock winrates clearly haven't affected the popularity quite yet. This usually happens a day or two later so I anticipate the play % coming down soon for Warlock once people start catching on.

Odd Rogue (60.9%): We've finally started to see innovations to this deck that have overtaken The Witchwood version. With Giggling Inventor being the most popular new card, the additions of Blood Knight have created huge board swings and is a tech that we should start seeing a lot more across the board.
Malygos Druid (59.1%): We've seen a lot of variations of this deck at the top and they are all winning a ton right now. With the large amount of stalling this deck has, big Malygos plays setup by Flobbidinous Floop happen consistently and often making this deck one of the hardest to counter.
Control Priest (57.4%): This deck is back and having success with no new cards. With a rise in aggro and tempo decks like Tempo Mage in the last couple days, a reaction to counter with this deck and all of its vast removal makes complete sense.
Even Warlock (57.7%):
Even though we've had an Even Warlock in the Top 8 almost everyday so far, this version has not been the top one until today. This deck is laced with all the tech cards like The Black Knight, Skulking Geist, and Acidic Swamp Ooze along side cards that target popular decks like Mossy Horror and Demonic Project .
Token Druid (57.4%): This deck makes the Top 5 this week but has been hovering in the Top 10 this entire expansion. This deck is refine and consistent so expect to continue seeing this deck in the top for a long time.
Control Warlock (57.3%): Like we mentioned with Control Priest, it's a great time for decks that have the best board removal in the game and this deck is definitely one of them. Sacrificial Pact is starting to be added more for insane value against the mirror matchup which is happening a lot right now. We should see that phase out as Warlock popularity starts to normalize.
Token Shaman (57.1%): Nothing changed much with this deck this week. It's still very effective in the current meta with its versatility.
Zoo Warlock (57.1%): This old list is still edging out the new one this last day. The gap is a little bigger (1.5%) right now compared to the previous days which is probably surprising to a lot of folks.
