Ice Block, Preparation, Leeroy and Alexstrasza will probably go. And then one other card you would least expect, because that's what usually happens. My guess is Raid Leader, lol

"As developers we try to ensure that every class gets an opportunity to shine as new expansions are released and new metagames develop. We have decided that it's Hunter's time to be at the top of the food chain. We were considering moving Unleash the Hounds to the Hall of Fame but ultimately decided against it for two reasons. First of all, Unleash the Hounds has been changed before, and we try to avoid making multiple changes to one card. Secondly, Unleash the Hounds has been a popular and iconic card in the Hunter's arsenal.

We are expecting minion combat to be one of the key features for The Year of the Rooster, and we are concerned with the powerful combination of Raid Leader and Unleash the Hounds vs. wide boards. Moving Raid Leader to the hall of fame allows us to keep Unleash the Hounds in Standard, and simultaneously eliminate what would be the most powerful combo in the format."

The only card I believe will be rotated will be Ice Block, simply for the hate it receives.  Personally, i disagree with it and believe Blizzard made a big mistake placing the expectation out to the public.  As someone that hated freeze mage, the thing that triggers me when facing a mage is not Ice Block.  What angers me is the unpredictability of spell generation. 

They rotate Ice block, fine.  However, i hope they realize what an important crutch that spell is to the class if a deck is anything besides aggro.

[card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card] needs to go, or get a nerf. Too much power for too little mana in an already powerful class. That or Mana Wyrm.

I always thought it should be a 2/2.

One question: do you get full dust value if a card goes to HoF? I just got an alexstraza and it'd suck if it went to wild :/

The "I want such and such card rotated" instead of the "This card legitimately is causing glaring problems with the game" in this thread is quite staggering. Personal dislike or the technical label of a card being a deck staple isn't automatic grounds for a card to be rotated.

The only card that is pretty much guaranteed that is going to be rotated is Ice Block, and only because T5 have already given strong nods indicating that this will happen.

He is just spitballing.  I'm sure he will wind up being right about at least one, but Kripp's prediction is a product targeted at a specific audience and hardly a critical analysis of the game.

Ysera is never going to the hall
