I don't think Malygos specifically is a problem, because the decks he goes into are pretty varied and not OP generally.
But I don't agree with a full permanent set. Despite the above, I too am tired of Malygos because he keeps popping up in the meta that should be a thing that only happens in wild.
I'd rather see the game working with the opposite of the hall of fame: The whole classic set goes to wild and instead a small handful of a cards that fit that year's standard theme are brought back.
Malygos deserves to be HoFed just as much as any other card in the game.
More in detail, Malygos OTK decks differ depending on the class.
While Ragnaros just filled the top curve for nearly any Tempo or Midrange deck, which is arguably the most common deck type in the game, unlike OTK.
This is not true, in my opinion. Do you really want to face Malygos OTK decks in the standard format from now until Hearthstone at some point dies ? The decks he enables are all "the same deck", just in different classes. Maly rogue, Maly druid, Maly priest. They all do EXACTLY the same thing, just with different tools.If i were given a choice between cards to HOF : Leeroy, Sylvanas, Ragnaros and Malygos - id choose Malygos every time. At least the other cards are fun to play against.
Well, do Even Shaman, Beast Hunter or Zoolock (another evergreen btw) operate so much different? Each of them are board-centric Tempo or Aggro decks whose goal is to hold the board while they SMOrc you to oblivion. Also, if you lose to a top-decked Leeroy Jenkins do you really have so much fun as you're pretending?
tl;dr "I don't like Combo/OTK decks because they tend to two-shot me regularly Blizz plzzz"
one of them is 7 mana the other is 9 - need I say more ?
other offenders that might see the axe are divine favor , sorcerers apprentice, Cold blood, Preperation, & Scavenging Hyena.
Its funny you mention Scavenging Hyena. Firebat was recently talking about how cards that gain stats when minions die have never been good in Hearthstone. But whenever some Rank 25 scrub loses to a SH, the scrub is sure to come here with wet diapers calling for a nerf.
i Cant imagine Standard without Malygos ...... The card is ok it cant do anything when played alone unlike Ysera which give infinity value or Deathwing to clear the board or alextraza to damage or heal Hit points , Malygos cant do anything alone he need a whole deck to support him .
I always hope blizzard will eventually ditch the HOF system for a rotating set like they should've done from the beginning but at the same time I know it's probably not gonna happen this year.
With the classic starter bundle giving malygos as one of the bonuses I think it's safe to say he won't be hoted this year.

All classic and basic set should be in HoF :P
You get full dust refund and keep the card for Wild, for me every classic card should be HoFed just for the free dust.

I think that, purely from an RPG perspective, the 4 legendary dragons will be here to stay. If anything they will just nerf him a little bit.

No, for the same reason Leeroy shouldn't be hof'd. They are the classic finishers in their respective archetypes and they aren't doing anything wrong.
I don't think thats a good idea...
Malygos was never a staple legendary like ragnaros or sylvanas. It's used in some decks, mostly tier2 a tier3 decks...
And on the other hand i have a golden one https://media-hearth.cursecdn.com/avatars/331/0/241.png
