Are you dumb ? Vanish is only played in tier 3 Pogo Rogue and Mind Blast is not played at all, no reason to play that card without Shadowreaper Anduin or Shadow Visions. Those changes have almost 0 impact.
This update is a bit meh. The new cards are ok at first glance, new legendaries look decent. Will we automatically get the new Classic cards or are we going to have to craft them?
Bit of a bummer seeing Vanish vanish into the hof. Mind Blast’s days were numbered though. This decision fits with the general idea of fun and interactive and being on the receiving end of a double / triple / quad etc Mind Blast burst was certainly not...
Both Vanish and Mind Blast are probably preemptive moves because of what’s coming in the next expansion or two.
I disagree with you completely. Changing things will keep the game fresh and interesting for us. Vanish is 1 card and really only guts Pogo Rogues ability to unfairly clear a board and fill iot in 1 turn with incredibly strong minions. Mind Blast going just means Priest can find other ways to close out a game.
Theres a new expansion just around the corner, and changes to the Basic set will make more sense as time goes on. Give it some time before you condemn the coming changes.
Don't think of the present, think of the future. If they are doing this is because there are some cards in the new expansion that would be a cancer with Vanish and Mind Blast.
Still waiting on the announcement that Whizbang the Wonderful will be shifted to Classic after rotation. It’s probably the best neutral Legendary a brand new player can get for themselves.
It certainly played a role in my desire to craft a few of the decks in his current repertoire of recipes.

According to the article they will be available in classic packs, or of course craftable with dust. The basic set replacements are automatically granted though.
Looks like a decent mid expansion update followed on from a really good mid expansion update. Funny that we still have people like OP complaining. Can’t please ‘em all!
I think they should also replace Velen, there is nothing to combo him with.
I agree, they even have "Face damage" as one of the weaknesses of Priest, so they will not support "double damage" part of Velen and "double heal" will probably never worth playing a 7 mana card.

Gutting Rogue and Priest... way to go Blizzard!
No one in the recent tournaments was playing Vanish or Mind Blast. Heck, no one was playing Priest.
Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.
New cards are always good. They breathe some life into this game. I applaud Blizzard for trying to keep things fresh.
I love the new legendary Whitemane. That is a great neutral legendary. It can generate insane value... but for any class.
I like it especially the new cards

Vanish disappears? goes op in smoke? evaporates? It simply vanishes?
The priest spell feels SO weak lol
And Blizzard's mission to gut the classic set while being disingenuous about the reasoning continues...
If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.

Missing lethal since June 2015.
OP, your title has a typo. You wrote "ruin" instead of "have no effect on."
