Agreed with everything except Holy Wrath. This card hasn't been long enough in the meta and is not an auto include to decks or unfair enough (holy wrath paladin has to draw the entire deck to win) to be considered as a candidate for Hall of Shame
I would also add Mind Control Tech to this list, because this is what we call an unfair card. It can punish you for example for putting one big minion when you already have 3 small ones and you want to make pressure or play something on curve
Also, I think that if they wanted to put Gadgetzan Auctioneer in HoF, they would have done it already, so his chance for that is much smaller
Since Power Overwhelming got HoF'ed, and they nerfed Cold Blood, I think it's about time for Blessing of Might to be Wild only, although odd paladin will be dead after rotation, a new aggro paladin will rise one day, and use this 1 Mana deal 3-6 dmg card. Other than that, and it hurts my heart to say that because I'm control warlock player, Hellfire is used in every single list since Beta and it feels boring tbh
Prep is an odd duck to HoF. There’s no doubt it limits design space and must be considered when costing rogue cards. However at this point removing would absolutely annihilate how the rogue class functions. If you HoF it you’ll still need to balance around it for wild.
FWIW - if you play with the HSReplays filters, you can order cards by play-rate and expansion. Of the 100 most-played cards in Standard, 42 are from the two evergreen sets. I suspect that the devs understand that this is a big problem. They spend the vast majority of their resources developing new content for Standard, and far too much of it is never used. Rastakhan's Rumble has a grand total of eight cards in the top 100 list, and two more with play-rates above 5%. Boomsday has four cards among the top 100, and two more above 5%.
Presumably, this isn't exactly good for business, and probably isn't sustainable in the long run - players barely needed to collect cards from the past two expansions this year. I'm guessing that "something big" is being planned for the upcoming rotation that goes beyond nerfing a few cards, and relegating a few others to the HoF. When over 40% of the most highly-played cards in the format are permanent, a few nerfs and a few relegations will still leave them more-or-less exactly where they are . . . hence, it's kind of pointless. I've always questioned the need for HS to have two permanent sets, rather than just one (or none, as Kibler would prefer.) I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens . . .

Holy Wrath?!?! That card has languished in obscurity until this expansion.
I'm not sure why you had to start your own thread when there is already one devoted to this:
https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/227318-hall-of-fame-speculations-april-2019
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what Team 5 thinks is "worthy" of the Hall of Fame.
