So with Autumn Regionals in less than 2 months I feel that we need to pick apart the meta for expanded and see what will dominate, what you should play, and ways to defend against stronger decks. Here are a few examples of decks that I think will do well.

Vespiquen/Eeveelutions
M Rayquaza EX variants
Seismitoad/Garbodor
Hippowdon
Raichu/Crobat
Night March
M Tyranitar EX/Bats
Bronzong variants
M Sceptile EX
Giritina EX/Vileplume
Virizion/Genesect/Roserade
Wailord EX
M Manectric/Seismitoad/Garbodour
Machamp EX/Ariados
 
Shiftry is going to be a top-tier threat, easily far above all of these decks. T1 bench-out win is easily possible with FGP stadium and Shiftry NXD.
 
IMO, FairyBox will still be a strong deck and worthy of a slot on your list.

On the other hand, I do not believe a Wailord deck will be a major consideration since there is no longer an "element of surprise" and since 1 Pokemon (Bunnelby PRC 121) can easily counter the deck. IMO.
 
Maybe a Dragon deck with support from Roaring Skies and Dragons Exalted. Also Fairybox has a lot of fun toys to play with from the BW sets. Spread damage decks can make use of Devolution Spray instead of Super Scoop-ups.
