Bot Mathematician and Holomancer made a sensational statement! They claim that they could identify the worst cards that deserve to be a disenchanted. Our editor in chief Dora R went to check it out and asked important questions.
Today we have prepared a list of the worst legendary and epic cards that we will lose in April, after the release of the Rise of Shadows. After that, you can make the difficult decision of whether or not to disenchant cards which are rotating into Wild. We will try to help you with this decision. In general, we will lose 71 legendary cards and 85 epic cards. Most of these cards are not competitively viable. And let's face it, many of these cards will never find their place in the game.
If you have a small collection of cards and want to keep the option of playing in Wild, disenchanting bad Legendary and Epic cards might be a good decision. Also, you can consider getting rid of every card if you don't plan to play in Wild at all. But you must always remember that you are then limiting your opportunities in Tavern Brawls and solo Adventures.
So, how did you manage to determine the worst cards?
Oh, thanks for asking. Every week we collect statistics on the popularity of cards in the metagame. In total, we have accumulated a huge amount of data. We have defined the average rate of popularity for all legendary and epic cards based on the results of 2 years of availability in Standard.
Do you think that this data is enough?
In order to draw more accurate conclusions, we would like to have the same rate of popularity for Wild, but unfortunately we don’t have the opportunity to explore the Wild format as closely as Standard. The only thing we could do was add information on current popularity in Wild for the last two weeks from HSreplay.com.
We have divided all the cards into 6 different categories, according to their popularity.
Each category received a number of stars. The less stars the category has, the safer the disenchanting. In some cases there are exceptions to this principle...

Looks like from your math, disenchant everything but 1-2 Legendary.
Deal.
Heh, tity.
I wonder what the popularity is of a populatity 🤔
I'd like to hijack a top spot and state that both Gloom Stag (listed as zero star) and Glitter Moth (listed as one star) are being Hall of Fame'd due to their odd/even mechanics being tied to Genn and Baku (both 5 star cards).
If you do not have them, please craft them before rotation. Craft them in gold if possible! After they rotate, you will get the dust that they are worth (up to 2 cards worth, gold priority over regular). If you already have them, don't bother crafting them in gold as there is no additional value... actually, you would lose 100 dust that way.
That's a lot of tity's
Thanks for your hard work compiling all those statistics together and making conclusions based on them.

I like the content... It is interesting. But rating system here can motivate inexperienced players to disenchant 0-1 star cards with quite high potential like:
The Voraxx All that this card needs is broken enough spells that can target your minions. It can very well jump from unplayable to one that will give dust because of being nerfed. Also, plants is a likely tribe that can be added in the future.
Lilian Voss Thief rogue will get more, more, more and more goods. At some point turning your spells into random crap may actually become a good idea. Also, more and more "add barely useful spells (like bananas)" cards will get into the game.
Rummaging Kobold Is already a quite useful card in a wild jade shaman. Can go broken every time when there are a weapon that really needs to be equipped more that 2(1) times
Drakkari Enchanter Who can know what broken end of turn effect(s) will be printed in future?
And so on...
Drakkari Enchanter helped me climb 15 to 5 with a silly End of turn priest deck Thanks to Shadow Ascendant + Cobalt Scalebane + Green Jelly. Also Ysera and The Lich King was op enough to draw value from Drakkari Enchanter. I have even my name of that archetype as "Enchanter Priest". lol.
1 copy of Rummaging Kobold is a useful tool for Thief rogue against some control match-ups which has two weapon removal, but if you don't use your hero power. You should know that if you are using the kobold in your deck. :D
The only card that exteremely and instantly needs to be dusted is Cursed Blade and it is not nowadays topic. lol
And I never dust Open the Waygate, that card is more effective in wild thanks to Ice Block, I would not dust any of legendaries any time after what I've done for gvg... anyways, I've just wanted to mention that quest :D

ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
Thank Ragnaros I've already rotated into Wild.
Behold Ragnaros the Firelord! He who was ancient, when this world was young!
It is foolish to dust anything but extras, ever.
Cards go from bad to good all the time. The current best examples are the quest cards that everyone hated two years ago. Now they are showing up in professional tournament decks.
Don't dust your cards. Just don't.

Great job guys
So if anyone has any of thies legendary cards, you should still keep it so you can't open it again. I have been trough this!
I play cursed blade in my pirate warrior and it has won me so many game. People make INSANE missplays when they see this equipped.
Recently I played against hunter, I played Cursed Blade turn 1, Ship's Cannon turn 2, he coined Eaglehorn Bow and went face. He did 6 damage and lost the game.
This happens a lot. Mages that coin ping face, etc. Cursed blade is a terrible top deck but a very strong turn 1.
+ it's an adventure card, it was really nice to collect those cards and I would hate to dust it for 5 dust atoms.
Thanks for your long explanations but it was a joke. it has even a "lol" at the and of the sentence.
Btw, i only dust extra cards after gvg rotation. I have made a huge mistake like dusting so much cards after GvG goes wild and I had to craft them again just because i have missed to play with them so now I am keeping even Rager-level cards. :)

I see very little harm in dusting stuff like Ozruk. No amount of new synergies will make it good. Especially wild level of good.
I have mixed feelings. It's honest work and all, but guide like this can stifle the rests of creativity that exist in Hearthstone. Also new expansions bring new possibilities to Wild and cards long forgotten can shine again. I have all the legendaries from top 20, but few of them were never played.
I'd love to see similar statistics for "stepping-stones" ranks, especially R5, where most bizzare decks exist.
Playing Hearthstone in German solely for Garrosh sounds. Sieg oder Tod!
Cursed Blade is actually not bad in Pirate Warrior (although the deck itself is not the gratest at the moment), it removes a lot of early game minions, giving you a chance to develop a board.
Why would you only dust cards whenever you're in need? Purging just for the sake of purging is good practice to avoid hoarding in general. And we're talking about at least the trash of the trash, man. Look at some dumpster Epics / Legendaries from years ago (even with unique effects, doesn't matter). Have Steamwheedle Sniper, Wee Spellstopper, Trade Prince Gallywix, Anima Golem, Poisoned Blade or maybe Dark Wispers taken over Wild until today? N0pe. U wanna wait 4 more years to see if they're any good?
Why do I even have all of these... smh
