Going to miss virtually all of the spellstones (not Paladin, sorry) since they 1) really added to a lot of decks (Elemental Mage/Deathrattle Rogue) and 2) were linchpins of fun archetypes like Spell Hunter.
i feel like a lot of people will switch to the wild mode next year with the rotations. ungoro frozen throne and k&c were the main expansion where blizzard started making some real cash.a lot of people have majority of those sets and wont enjoy disenchenting them for such a less value.
Its not just cards. Whole archetypes will just disappear in the abyss which is Wild mode:
First, we lose all DKs and quests +legendary weapons. That hurts all classes, although some more than others.
Druid: Suffering. No Hadronox, no UI, no Spreading Plague, no whole cobolds set (seriously look at this set like all cards are so good ).Malygos becomes much worse, Tog rotates, Token decks might be decent-ish? I dunno. Whole class will heavily rely on 3rd set of this year.
Hunter: no more Deathrattle deck, no Spell deck, Secret one seems sketchy w/o spellstone. So all we really have is Mech bomb hunter (fun deck, try it out). Baku also stays, i suppose.
Mage: we lose Big Spell mage. RIP Meteor, let the Kripp's damaged soul be with you, o beautiful bastard. Quest and questless OTK too. Arcanologist and Primordial Glyph with Explosive Runes will be missed. Or not. Depends on the side you playing at, heh. But since Mana Wyrm is evergreen - deck will survive. Also there is this strange hand-elemental minion mage, which Kibler plays all the time. Its surprisingly good, although i suggest throw out trash like Astromancers and Water Elementals and put in some real cards like Azalina, Tog + Pocket galaxy with 1 Grand Archivist for consistency. It ll win you more games than you think.
Pally: Sunkeeper Tarim. Pretty much it. Oh, yeah, Odd pally! Yeah, burn it, noone will miss u. Maybe even one will be better after rotation tho.
Rogue: No Kingsbane, no more quest rogue, Vilespine Slayer has become a part of me and i ll grief lose of it with many tears, miracle ll be dead again, so we left with Tess shenanigans (and some bunnies). Odd rogue wont go anywhere too. Baku is a cool card, right? You ll learn to hate it, if you dont already.
Shammy: Volcano and Healing Rain are big. Besides them Shudderwock will be much weaker without Grumble. Important thing to note - Hagatha the Witch stays, so some kind of ctrl shaman will be around - Omega Mind and electra are hella cards, its just shudder OTK is better. For now, Also Even shaman is a thing.
Warlock: losing all control tools.Defile lethal puzzles will be missed. Maybe Curse of Weakness will see play, i always thought this card is so cool. What? Zoo? Oh, dont worry, zoo is fine, because last 2 expansions were DEDICATED to ensure you ll be able to play it . Are you happy? ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
Warrior: Odd warrior loses Reckless Flurry and straight warrior loses Blood Razor. Oh, also DMH, but lets be honest here, even Fibonacci is not playing it anymore, let it go to the Dane land. I believe Dr7 will carry tho, Supercollider and Warpath to victory! Or death.
Overall, i hope Blizz wont pull KnK card with the upcoming expansion and it wont be stupidly OP. Honestly, if they will keep it at Boomsday level, i think we will be A-ok. But this time with new archetypes, pls. That would be great.
I think most people will miss Deathknights the most and Quests second if we only think of groups of cards.
That being said the cards are legal in Wild and will continue to be legal in Wild. Wild is the format that Blizzard intended for Hearthstone originally and how we always used to play the game before they introduced the expensive rotating format into the game.
You say expensive, imagine being a new player and having to buy from ALL expansions.
You mean cheap? Have you noticed just the ludicrous dust price for wild. Its ludicrous
I'll miss Stonehill Defender. Discover is one of my favorite mechanics in Hearthstone in that it allows choices to be made based on gamestate. Pick the big taunt one time, pick the cheap one the next, etc.
I'm really going to miss Tar Creeper. Not just because I like the card, but it offered so much versatility to EVERYBODY. Blizzard is going to have to really put on their thinking caps if they're going to replace an amazingly designed card like this,.
I just want a good demon for warlock after rotation. The last one was Voidlord and it's been a while since KnC.
Gonna miss play Elemental Shaman. Such a fun deck. Sure is not near being a Top deck. But super fun to play

there will always be a miracle rogue

Priest: No Shadow Visions, Duskbreaker, Psychic Scream (which means priest will need another good removal, or hes fucked. Again.) Pray for good deathrattles for Reckless Experimenter, i suppose.
Rogue: No Kingsbane, no more quest rogue, Vilespine Slayer has become a part of me and i ll grief lose of it with many tears, miracle ll be dead again, so we left with Tess shenanigans (and some bunnies).

And now time for the juicy ones:
Un' goro : Fire Fly, Glacial Shard, Tar Creeper and Stonehill Defender, flappy bird, Umbra, Elise,
Frozen throne: Prince Keleseth, Happy Ghoul, Saronite Chain Gang, Cobalt Scalebane, Skulking Geist, Bonemare and of course, The Lich King
KnK: Dire Mole, Void Ripper, Zola the Gorgon, cube(FINALLY), Fungalmancer, and King Togwaggle himself.
Overall, i hope Blizz wont pull KnK card with the upcoming expansion and it wont be stupidly OP. Honestly, if they will keep it at Boomsday level, i think we will be A-ok. But this time with new archetypes, pls. That would be great.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hagatha will be a power house after rotation if we get a half-assed tech vs combo deck, no other DK's except Boom for the value game.
I'll miss a lot of cards, but I'm ready for a fresh meta.
You mean cheap? Have you noticed just the ludicrous dust price for wild. Its ludicrous
no, he is not, he isnt good but it's not like he is the same as ungoro warlock.
Kathrena because fun.
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
The rotation is still more than half a tear away isn't it?
I'll miss Stonehill Defender. Discover is one of my favorite mechanics in Hearthstone in that it allows choices to be made based on gamestate. Pick the big taunt one time, pick the cheap one the next, etc.
Well my favorite card will be out: Stonehill Defender. And all the discover cards will be missed...
Elise. Nothing cooler than literally opening a sealed pack during a match and adding value.
RIP DK's
I will also miss Ungoro a lot. The DK edition was to powerful i won´t miss it at all. Kobolds has some nice cards but not much will be missing.
It is
Leper Gnome
Shadow visions... I Will miss it
I'm really going to miss Tar Creeper. Not just because I like the card, but it offered so much versatility to EVERYBODY. Blizzard is going to have to really put on their thinking caps if they're going to replace an amazingly designed card like this,.
