Jeez you really hate all these mage cards huh? lol
Archmage takes like 5 cards to make it useful as a combo. No. Just no.
Edwin hard counters are to silence, and hard removal. It still has to wait a turn to attack. So it leaves it open to be dealt with. No.
Shadow step isn't even broken...Whats the broken combo? Keleseth/Shadow step? I played tempo Rogue. A LOT. I can honestly say I got that combo like...less than 10 times in all the games i've played with it. So no.
Either you suck at math or your definition of A LOT is questionable because the odds of getting it in your opening hand is not insignificant, let alone during the entire course of the game.
Instead of HoFing Ice Block, they should make it like Rogue's secret Evasion.
LOL, No to Doomguard. Just because it's popular now, doesn't mean it always was this broken.
No to Mana Wyrm. It's not as broken as Tunnel Trogg.
No to Northshire Cleric. It's not even meta breaking. Although an auto-include for Priest, they don't have many 1 drops.
No to Auctioneer. It's a barely seen card in decks these days. It's mana cost justifies it's use.
No to Malygos. Just why? Why does this even need HoFing? Because of the one time you got OTK memed?
No to Alexstraza. We barely see the card. Just no.
People need to look at the reasons why the cards that were Hall of Famed, Hall of Famed. Why Azure Drake? Because it was an absolute auto-include in 99% of the decks (at the time) and had an amazing affect while being a good body AND it was a dragon. Sylvanas was also an absolute auto-include 6 drop in almost every deck. There aren't many "minion" stealing cards/effects and it being neutral made it fantastic. Ragnaros was auto-include. Power-Overwhelming was way too strong for a 1 mana card buff. There was very little downside. (Plus the combo with shadow flame). Ice Lance was way too OP for being a combo piece and costing only 1 mana. Although they could have nerfed it to just hit minions. And lastly Conceal. If conceal was still around and we have vicious fledgling, GL to you if you don't get your taunt in time. Also the Conceal + Auctioneer combo was broken.
As it stands right now, I don't see any cards cards that need to be thrown into Hall Of Fame. Maybe some soft nerfs. IE: Bonemare can buff less like +2/+3. Corridor cost going up to 9 or 10.
Doomguard is a super problematic card, since charge is a problematic mechanic and chances are high that in the next set there will be a card that breaks cube doomguard combo. While i agree it doesnt need to be put into hall of fame its also possible that it gets a soft nerf like steed did for example because Deathspeaker was realeased building a killloop with Knife Juggler and Defile
Also cards dont need to be op to get famed/nerfed. The question is are there broken interactions with specifik new cards and are they auto includes.
Its confirmed we`ll have a new Hall of fame cycle this year and it defenitely wont be Just iceblock standalone.
Also note that its not my personal opinion that the cards i listed should get nerfed or rotated. I just listed possible candidates.
I dodnt know what Blizz will do exactly but well have a new round of fame and nefs thats oficial.
I don't think Auctioneer is in a big priority für HoF, but in Team5's radar, because it doesn't breaks the but archepytes shouldn't stay in standard for ever.
It's not like the by Blizz mentioned cardsIce Block, Malygos and Stonetusk Boar that totaly limit designspace and are uninteractive.
But i think, that the number of HoF cards will be larger than the last time, because it worked realy well and there could be replacements from rotated sets this time.

Want to discuss my predictions or suggestions with me personaly?
If it would go, then I think Northshire Cleric would have to go with it. Both are stupidly powerful draw engines, and situationally far better than Azure Drake, which saw rotation. As a many year fan of miracle, I don't want to see him go, though.
Auc ok card, what's broken - Shadowstep and other 0 cost cards. Shadowstep go to HoF coz it's fun card for Mill Rogue. Backstab - nerf or rework for being 1 mana card, Prep ok to be 0 cost coz it's not real 0 cost card it's like combo card for other card. coin will rotate soon. About other 0 cost cards - Silence ok, it gives not enough power and Raza rotate soon that mean we can handle this. CoH - combo card and not so much power, but if we nerfing all 0 cost cards it can be 1 mana card with draw a card and should be fine. Innervate already nerfed, Ancestral Healing - em, no comments. Inner Rage - ok to be nerfed, not so much powerful, but can be a problem with future combo things. Moonfire - meme spell and rare card who works with Malygos without it, he will be more usless. Sacrificial Pact - it must be buffed, i mean, we have new 1 mana spell just change it for Basic that's all. Yes, we loosing meme Jaraxus kill. but, really, better ok card than meme shit.
Oh, yes, Totemic Might - broken ASF remove from the game plz.
My bets are probably on Shadowstep, since it limits Battlecries in Rogue and is espacially with charge a somewhat problematic card. Also the zero Mana effect AND the Cost reduce is very powerful.
And Savanna Highmane, not because it is OP in general, but i have a feeling that it will free some design ideas in hunter without this card, because basic/Classic huntercards are very powerful and if you give them a bit of Synergypower, they probably endup broken as hell.
Cut Houndmaster / Highmane, give them instead some AE-Removal and Carddraw, so the world would be fine =)
someone just got owned by miracle rogue hehe
Was sad to see Rag and Syl go, but nothing would make me happier than to see this card go.
It is a good card, but definitely not Hall of Fame worthy.
Basically any classic card that sees some play in a deck somewhere, suddenly becomes a HoF candidate?

I'd rather see Auctioneer be made into a Rogue card. It's not like Druid will be using it for jades anymore at that point.

Look at this thing and let me know what you think!
Auctioneer is balanced and only fits in very specific decks, it makes no sense to rotate it.
My bets are probably on Shadowstep, since it limits Battlecries in Rogue and is espacially with charge a somewhat problematic card. Also the zero Mana effect AND the Cost reduce is very powerful.
And Savanna Highmane, not because it is OP in general, but i have a feeling that it will free some design ideas in hunter without this card, because basic/Classic huntercards are very powerful and if you give them a bit of Synergypower, they probably endup broken as hell.
