they said no more hall of fame, however and it's a big however they dislike 1 mana charge minions now, so Stonetusk Boar and Southsea Deckhand are candidates to open considerations for hall of fame in the future, they kind of stated that Boar was preventing them from printing fun cards.
No cards will go this time around, 100%. It is just not clean to do that between rotations.
When year of the (next random big, scary thing) hits, though, I really hope they unnerf Molten Giant, and put him to HOF. He made you think twice about going all-in to the face, maybe even more than Reno Jackson.
At the beginning of Ungoro I had a great time creating and facing new decks and archetypes and I never had that much fun playing this game. Now after few months and towards the end of Ungoro the most dominat decks are just the same as they were in MsoG.
In wild every second game I'm facing pirat warrior. They already nerfed some pirats after MsoG but it just wasn't enough. I know they are already slowing down the game but: They could change Frothing Berserker effect to enrage or Patches the Pirate to a 1/2 minion without charge.
In standard every third game is against jade druid. Yeah I know we get a counter card against it in KotFT but imo this is the wrong way to face this problem. Increase the cost of Jade Idol every time you use it and only shuffle 2 copies into your deck. Also a limitation of size for the golems would be nice. The fatigue mechanic would still exist but it wouldn't be OP.
They did a great job with Sylvanas Windrunner and Azure Drake and so I hope they will balance the game even better this time.
Just a heads up, the size limit for jade golems is 30/30. obviously much more than ever needed, but it does have a limit. frothing is a problem, even though i play a lot of midrange/tempo warrior that gets a lot of wins off frothing. in pirate warrior he is incredibly strong because they generally have 2-3 minions and a weapon before he comes down so on turn 3 he can easily be a 5 or 6 attack minion on turn 3 and only grows from there. I'm not a big fan of minion like trogg/wrym/questing that can get insanely out of hand if you dont have removal.
i mostly play wild, so i know your pain about pirate warrior. i faced 6 in a row yesterday, somehow I managed to win them all. If the pirate warrior goes second and has coin + cannon you almost lose on the spot unless you have frostbolt/pain/wrath. i can't count the number of times i have been on 18 hp before my 3rd turn against pirate warrior. i think some nerfs might need to be made or some more tools implemented to deal with them since they will likely forever be a part of the meta.

Agreed - Inner fire combo decks are BS. So oppressive when Priest is that class that gets the best minion bodies for trading plus the best heal.
Gadgetzan Auctioneer, Ice Block and Frothing Berserker all need to GTFO.
None because you don't know how expansions work
