I've been thinking about the upcoming rotation (in 3-4ish months) and all the cards that I enjoy that will be rotating out. I'm talking about Emperor Thaurissan, some of those key dragons, Brann Bronzebeard, and most of all Summoning Stone. Out of TGT, LoE, and BRD, what are some of your favorite cards that will rotate out of standard and will you still play wild to play them?
What is so wonderful about him is that he gave us a standard effect before standard even came to be. Instead of playing the same stronger cards everyone is playing, reno encourages us to go for different ones, making for different games and different interactions. I'm glad they though of a card like him. I'm sad he's leaving, but hopefully highlander decks will live on (lol, who am I kidding, they won't).
Although seeing Mysterious Challenger leave will be nice- just as a tribute to never seeing him in standard again despite being away from secret paladin's dominance.

All of those cards barely ever see play in the current standard meta so you can still play them in wild like always but I agree they're a lot of fun.
I think losing a lot of these staple control/midrange cards will really hurt the game in that there are already only a few tools to really deal with aggro.
Pirate warrior and the like will still be ridiculous and they won't have to worry about ever facing Reno Jackson. They need to bring out strong defensive cards to punish aggressive decks not just value ones.
In a healthy meta as people say control > aggro, aggro > mid range, mid range > control. Except aggro beats everything with 50%+ win rate often.

How to become ∞ at arena: - practice, practice, win, dominate, profit.
Standard is so fucked when Reno Jackson leaves. They made cards that rely on having decks with no duplicates contained. They need to compensate somehow, and it's going to be hard, compensating for Reno's disappearance. If they don't give an equivalent to his overall power, Aggro will be a tremendous issue.

Some other honorable mentions for me are: Grim Patron (NOT in warrior), Djinni of Zephyrs, Unearthed Raptor, Museum Curator.
Reno Jackson and Justicar Trueheart are the first that came to my mind.

Reno, hands down.

The League of Explorers! ( Finley , Brann , Reno and Elise )
Reno Jackson. Him rotating out will be a huge indirect buff to aggro.
Fuck cubelock
Emperor, because I like otk decks.
The problem with highlander decks is ...
There can be only one.

English is not my native language, so, with a high probability, mistakes were made.
Varian Wrynn, Brann Bronzebeard, and Emperor Thaurissan. Those are just the Legendaries that I'm going to mention. Jeweled Scarab will also be missed. Burgle will be missed as well.
