Well it's not like they're going to be designing around them. This patch is just a low effort way to shake up the meta before the next expac. I'm guessing they rotate back out at the same time the next expac drops.
Indeed, I'm starting to think half the people who use this phrase don't even know what it means to "limit design space."
This move is literally the complete opposite of limiting design space. This is exactly, in every way, a blueprint of how to reintroduce older cards without affecting the design space whatsoever.
So now will Zephrys offer a Ragnaros rather than Tirion when the cards will be added as 8-drop? Imagine when you wanted Rag and not Tirion the rage :D
I didn't read anywhere that temporary wild cards from the event will be included in Classic and Basic set. I don't think Zeprys will offer any of those cards.
Renounce darkness and Varian aren't really fan favorite cards, they didn't see any play, they suffer from too many design flaws and anti synergy.
Not sure why they bring these back.
Varian STILL has anti synergy with current warrior decks, it's kinda crazy when you think about it, over the years Blizzard made sure every warrior deck that involves big minions doesn't work with Varian. Why the hell is that?
Renounce darkness is worth having some fun with. It can actually save your ass in a way Rafaam cannot. Played turn ten you can pick up a few hail mary cards and turn it around where slapping a 7/8 wont help. Combines well with an agressive deck that runs Imp Balming
From all those cards, I am only sad about seeing priest and warlock cards. Current meta does not allow either of those to be viable in that regard. I guess quest wall priest I play might slot in lightbomb, but I honestly came to like mass hysteria.
In current environment these mid - late game cards do not function as one might expect. Though I guess I'll try ress priest into Ragnaros, and copying him, then mass ress 3+ Ragnaros.

Just going by what Blizzard themselves said. Deerrr errr derrr.

Old news. The first reply in this thread already pointed that out.

Varian did see some play back then as the top curve card in tempo warrior and now we have a better version of that and rush minions.
