I might just be plainly dumb to think so. But I was really hoping that there would be some Hall of Fame rotations for cards like Ice Block, which is the only reason I occasionally get to play Mage, but at the same time it's one of the main reasons I hate playing against the class itself. If I understand it correctly then Mean Strees of Gadzetzan, Journey to Un'goro and Karazhan are the only sets that are rotating out without any "classics" leaving Standard. It's probably too late for them to announce some Hall of Fame rotations which kind off makes me sad as I'm still waiting with those 2x Ice Blocks.

Nothing is rotating out with this set and cards only rotate to hall of fame with the first set of each year, so don’t rule anything out until Spring 2018
They pretty much confirmed that Ice Block will rotate next April. Probably some other cards too and there's even rumors of rotated cards coming back for the year (fingers crossed for me hero Loatheb).
I don't know, why people think that sets and cards would rotate in december... There wasn't any exception in the last 20 months since the introduction of standard
This site and blizzard told us often enough, that rotation only comes with the first set of a year. It's like answering the same question 5000 times, because people seem to sleep for two years.

Maybe Gadgetzan Auctioneer. They wanted to put it into the Hall of Fame this year, but "it wasnt necessary". But now it isn't necessary too, because he doesn't see as much play as a year ago

Lawl you're going straight to the topic smartypants. I haven't played a single Standard game so I don't necersarily care about it anyway.

My only complaint is that there needs to be new cards being added to the core set to offset the cards being taken away from standard. Like Ice Block is a class epic. So if they remove it add something like Arcane Blast for example.
When the first expansion hits in February, March, April or May in 2018 then three sets will leave Standard:
- Whispers of the Old Gods
- One Night in Karazhan
- Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
Mayne there will be a few more rotations because they could move cards to Hall of Fame. Nothing has been confirmed. These are facts until Blizzard tell us otherwise.
Rotation happens every time with the first expansion of the new year, so barring any changes this will always be in april
That rotation will include Old Gods, Karazhan and Gadgetzan
Hall of Fame rotations only happen during standard rotations, so also with the first expansion of the new year
Blizzard heavily implied Ice Block will be rotated to the Hall of Fame next time around (in their note of september 5), but haven't offically confirmed it
Very likely that Gadgetzan Auctioneer will also be included (for reasons I've explained in a post below), but this is still conjecture
Anything else is anyone's guess pending Blizzard confirmation

THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WANTED!
Thanks now lock this thread before some butthurt douchebags come talking about how people keep opening threads with questions that have "absolutely obvious answers".

Do you have any official statement regarding the bolded claim or is that just your gut feeling that you wanted to include as a kind of fact?
I never said it was fact, but it seems very likely. There was much buzz about auctioneer not being included in the rotation last time around, and it seems unlikely Blizzard will only rotate one card to hall of fame. Auctioneer seems like a prime candidate when you consider their general approach of rotating cards that limit design space and have been defining decks since Hearthstone was released.
Ice Block also wasn't officially confirmed, but they were heavily implying it in their note of september 5.
I'll edit my previous post to make it more accurate.
I haven’t seen anything about shadowstep being rotated. It sees play in a lot of rogue decks but their isn’t really anything “unhealthy” about having it in standard

Well that's pretty hilarious as I really thought there's a rotation on this set.

I think 100% Ice Block just because it's taking you a turn, just like Time Warp.

Put your spoiler here.

I got golden Jaina with freeze mage and I don't wanna this rotation.
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.
