I'll probably end up having nightmares about Brode nerfing my family.

if black rock mountain, league of explorers, and TGT are getting moved to wild soon should I even bother buying the adventures/crafting or buying TGT cards? I haven't played since gvg 

I think the main issue is that the neutral cards still are too good. I'm pretty sick of seeing abusive sergeants all over the place. Expansions should include more class cards and less neutrals. So you can't play shaman with abusive sergeant, paladin with abusive sergeant, warlock with abusive sergeant, hunter with abusive sergeant... etc. A hunter aggro deck should look different from a zoo warlock, not being half the same with the few good class minions and spells. Neutrals should be filler for when you don't have a card.

Abusive is probably the most broken card in all of hearthstone.  I bet it would still be played if it was 2 mana. 

Tuskar should be nerfed to only spew one of the 4 class totems...nothing else.

Breaking news Blizzard might at some point tweak something next year sometime maybe. Thanks for keeping us in the loop Ben!

Hopefully next year they bring out wild packs, where you get a random set of cards from the wild expansion card pool (adventures probably wouldn't be included)

Hey Brode, you know what Overwatch is doing? They not only nerf stuff, but also BUFF THEM! Seriously, it's not that hard. Part of game balance is increasing and decreasing the strengths of things so that way everyone is on an equal playing field. Just decreasing cards tip the scale one way instead of making it balanced.

It currently enables too many aggro decks to have Steady Shot or Life Tap as they please. Although I like the idea of Hunter with Fireblast , it's just not reality.

 I really would not mind classic set being fully pushed out of standard

Or maybe a "Modern" set with classic and 2years of cards, and one "recent" with only crads from the last 3 releases 

without standard you wouldnt have aoe for most classes and close to no classcards or synergy between them. reworked basic/classic is the way to go with removed good/cool rebalanced cards (3 mana mad scientist, 4/5 loatheb, healbot, deathlord...).

only wolfrider, ooze, bluegill and novice are played from the neutral basic set. thats 4/43. the classic set is a bit better with around 40/110 but still so much wasted potentical. and there is no "need for bad cards" as blizz/brode call it, unused tech cards are needed even if not played but why the fuck is silverback patriarch in the game? there are 100 better cards and even if you get him bc of rng you are unhappy bc it could be a gnomeregan infantry, fierce monkey or the tantacle and the variance is just useless pain.

i like this

I'd say it's pretty obvious why they only nerf and don't ever give slight buffs to cool cards that obviously just need a little push to become viable: 

Why would you make cards good that people already have? No reason to pay for a good deck if a shitload of the cards you already own are suddenly good. All about the money, all about the dum-dum-du-du-dee-dum. 

You all should work for blizzard ... oh wait...

Yeah,sure. Why not nerf every Classic card Ben? Good job! -_-

Why are they removing 3 expansions in 2017? Especially LOE :( whyyy

You act like there will be no new sets to replace those moving to wild. I think you'll be ok if you wait and see what comes out. Patience, young padawan.

Let me explain it to you... 

Now we have:

Standard:  Blackrock Mountain + TGT + LoE + WotOG + ONiK

Wild: Naxx + GvG + Standard sets

Next "Year of the... whatever" (march-april 2017):

Standard: WotOG + ONiK + upcoming expansion late 2016 + upcoming expansion early 2017

Wild: Naxx + GvG + Blackrock Mountain + TGT + LoE + Standard sets

so as you see, there will be lots of cards to play
