I give Sen'jin Shieldmasta the slightest nod over Chillwind Yeti. I'd guess both were probably pretty equally played (Yeti may have had a slight edge very early in Hearthstone's lifespan, but i think Sen'jin was close and more consistently played for longer), and while "Yeti" is the shorthand for a vanilla minion's stats in players' minds, I think Sen'jin is more recognizable and is probably even more widely known by his nickname, Tazdingo, for his voiceline than the actual card name, which I think speaks to its greater standing in the Hearthstone consciousness
Novice Engineer, because whenever I see it in a deck other than Quest Rogue I think "You're either playing a garbage combo deck or have a week old account".
My first thought was the Yeti, but it has lost presence in the last time, so I went for the Ooze, but it could have also been Novice engineer. I thinks this last two are powerful still and both see play often
Here is a stuffy definition: having the quality of an icon - a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something.
Or a more slang definition: Similar to "classic," iconic is generally restricted to more recent, highly original, influential, or unique objects which are celebrated in popular culture.
Being a bit traditional and literal I voted for Yeti as I think it fits the first definition, however I can see how someone would vote Rager if they argued from the second definition (Yeti would be more Classic, though it could also be argued a Basic card can't be Iconic by that definition as it is not really recent)
Yeti, but Tazdingo a close second for me...a lot of these other cards are/were pretty good in various metas, but not really "iconic".
You can't stop the signal.
The question is ICONIC not BEST, so have to give this to magma rager over the yeti
Weirdly enough, Sen'jin is second, but no one is mentioning it as often as Magma ... Where are the Tazdingo enthusiasts ?
How about all of them ? The basic cards are nostalgic and iconic to me, brings back good old memories.
Nothing can beat the
Always expect the unexpectable!

is the order randomized for each participant?
Good point, but I already had decided on Yeti before I even saw the list.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
The end is comingggggg -doomsayer
I voted Ooze since it's still commonly used.

Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
Kids these days. Meme <=> Iconic. Or do you all think that JarJar is the most iconic character in Star Wars.
Tazdingo is always the first thing i think of when i think about my first days playing HS
TAZDINGO HEHE
It's DINNER TIME

Shall we define Iconic?
