A lot of nice cards goes away with this upcoming rotation.
Even though they do not see a lot of play right now, I think that Elise Starseeker and Justicar Trueheart are unique cards that gives something extra. I like Reno Jackson and my feelings towards him leaving is ambivalent. I like the huge swing he gives the games (especially against aggro) but perhaps it is time to see new control archtypes as he is too important at the moment.
I will miss dragon Priest and I fear that they are going to push N'Zoth Priest. While I kind of like N'Zoth Priest it is just a too meta dependent deck (at least for the moment) as it is simply too slow against very aggressive decks, and too slow to beat Jades. And then Priests will be back to tier 4 decks. However, it is too early to say anything and perhaps they might release strong deathrattle cards than pushes this archtype. Regardless, I like dragon Priest and especially Drakonid Operative* - despite him being arguably OP.
Goodbye Sylvanas Windrunner you were my first legendary, and one of my most useful to date.
Also goodbye Majordomo Executus cut down just before a card released that would actually make you viable.(40 health Rag hero would be op, and will hopefully be in wild)
damnnn..i disenchanted him :(( i never thought something like that could be possible
That is also true, but not everyone has the dust available to start crafting cards that are only playable in Wild Format. I wish I had enough dust to afford every legendary in the game, but thats simply not realistic for someone like me. I can maybe craft a new legendary once every month, depending on how often I play.
Unless you aim for tournament ranking you would benefit more longterm from investing into wild staples : they don't get nerfed and are always playable. If you go for flavour of the month standart cards they tend to be useless longterm. Think people who nvested into beast druid etc
Every1 keeps saying CW is dead without justicar. does any1 even remember that CW existed long before Justicar did?
The difference is that CW has to packs ome seroius threats again cause of the lack off justicar/elise.
CW is dead SO justicar won't be missed.
CW is dead anyway, justicar or not
Jade hard counters CW, and Renolock (sometimes even Renomage/Reno priest) can kill CW
Even midrange shaman probably kills CW just because shaman is busted.
Edit : Basically in the last year of Hearthstone the game has changed fundamentally. Grinding out people fairly is no longer an option. You either play extremely agressive decks, or a defensive reno deck, or an unfair deck (jade or other combo). There is no more making smart trades with your weapons and grinding out people with armor up. The only reason to play CW now would be to counter a specific local meta like if people started to play freeze mage suddenly then CW would be suited. But you can win vs freeze mage without CW.. Now weapons are better face dmg spells with the option of going on creatures if needed.
Definitely Brann Bronzebeard, unsung hero in at least 5 of my decks. Such a useful card and yet, I don't think it could ever be argued that he's overpowered. Each season I'm converting more and more to Wild so I won't see the last of him.
I really worried about Reno rotation, Blizzard refuse to print good control tools and never stop to make insane OP broken aggro cards, Reno is the only competitive option vs agressive decks, without him and the bullshit Wizard does in more recents releases probably this game move from 80% aggro for 100% aggro.
but Infirc those two are not rotating out.... Do you guys really thing highlander will be viable without Reno? because i'm sure as hell it won't, those guys will effectively rotate with Reno as Mysterious Challenger rotated with Avenge.

Inkmaster I agree, Kazakus maybe see some play with Raza.
Tomb Pillager.
This one is the real, fallen hero. Will miss you so much,

Goodbye to all the dragons I have used in many dragon decks since BRM - Nefarian, Chillmaw, Twilight Guardian and many others.
Goodbye also to Rend Blackhand - not the best of cards, but it was so satisfying to destroy an enemy legendary with WE ARE THE TRUE HORDE!
Reno, Brann, Azur Drake
I would say justicar but Control Warrior is dead.

Brann Bronzebeard , no doubt about that. And all the Dragons. Speaking of that... I won´t miss Reno Jackson at all !!!
Azure Drake, Emperor Thaurissan, Brann Bronzebeard (this will hit so many decks that I don't even...), Sylvanas Windrunner and Ragnaros. Also, to some extent, Flamewaker, even though I didn't play that card in months and I admit that it's the cancer.
But the winner is Tomb Pillager :(
I've no clue what I'm doing...
Tomb Pillager for sure.
Kazakus, INkmaster Solia, Krul...
what you really think Highllander decks have any chance without Reno?
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
I feel like there were so many cards that were so close to being playable... RIP Djinn,Sarad, and my personal fav Paletress...
I'm gonna miss Azure Drake, in a way I am kinda glad it's gone but I love that card.

Miss Tomb Pillager, Elise Starseeker, Quick Shot, Forgotten Torch, Emperor Thaurissan
And NEVER MISS Entomb, Reno Jackson, Flamewaker, Imp Gang Boss, Spellslinger (arena), Mysterious Challenger and any shaman's card.
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.
