D stands for "Dead" (if it doesn't get new cards for replacements in the new expansion)
W for "Weakened"
These card rotations impact the decks listed above: (the "?" means that the card doesn't have a big impact on the current meta, but is still mentionable)
1.control shamma isn't dead, Jinyu is far better than healing wave anyways and volcano clears a lot of health from the plus you still have the crussher shamman build (yes it was called crusher shamman first, not mean shamman nor bog champ shamman) with Earth Elemental [/card]and [card]acestral spirit, plus whatever elemental support we're getting.
2. Reno Mage and lock are dead, Solia and kazakus don't make for Reno's loss, they dor ely on that health boost and don't have other meaning of healing Plus burn Reno isn't conisistent enough to burn after they pop your block and we lose emperor anyway.
3. Highlander priest is not dead, Reno was a nice addition to highlander priest but nothing else, Reno is not a defining card for this deck that's wrongly called Reno priest opposedly to Warlock and Mage that abdolutely need Reno to make their singleton decks work.
4. there's no point on discussing zoolock, zoolock has been around for ever and thanks to guldan's hero power ( when do we get a warlock lady Heroine Blizzard >_<?) as long as there are one and 2 drops zoolock will always exist, and those early drops don't even have to be good, remember that shield bearer and Young Priestess used to appear a lot in zoo builds
for the other points we haven't seen the cards yet

Summary: all dragon decks rotate out, all Reno decks rotate out, and shaman will have a hard time
Discuss and let me know if I missed anything! :)
Pointless discussion. We don't know which decks are dead until we see the cards in the new set.
Freeze mage, midrange hunter, handbuff paladin, dragon paladin, control warrior...viable?...oh my sides.
Zzzzz wall of incomprehensible text which will all be totally Irrelevant in light of the 135 new cards which will be released soon
Renolock will be dead without reno, we dont have great neutral heal cards. Refreshment vendor is rotating out too btw.
Actually we're losing ice lance so you should set freeze mage to dead.
That's Incredible!
So maaany wrong things...
1.control shamma isn't dead, Jinyu is far better than healing wave anyways and volcano clears a lot of health from the plus you still have the crussher shamman build (yes it was called crusher shamman first, not mean shamman nor bog champ shamman) with Earth Elemental [/card]and [card]acestral spirit, plus whatever elemental support we're getting.
2. Reno Mage and lock are dead, Solia and kazakus don't make for Reno's loss, they dor ely on that health boost and don't have other meaning of healing Plus burn Reno isn't conisistent enough to burn after they pop your block and we lose emperor anyway.
3. Highlander priest is not dead, Reno was a nice addition to highlander priest but nothing else, Reno is not a defining card for this deck that's wrongly called Reno priest opposedly to Warlock and Mage that abdolutely need Reno to make their singleton decks work.
4. there's no point on discussing zoolock, zoolock has been around for ever and thanks to guldan's hero power ( when do we get a warlock lady Heroine Blizzard >_<?) as long as there are one and 2 drops zoolock will always exist, and those early drops don't even have to be good, remember that shield bearer and Young Priestess used to appear a lot in zoo builds
for the other points we haven't seen the cards yet
In the next rotation we are losing an expansion and two adventures. So many good cards and decks we've been playing since standart.
I've been playing since BrM. Losing BrM and LoE is harder for me than losing GvG and Naxx.
I'm going to list the impactful cards and decks what we're going to lose. Let's hope new year is going to be great.
Blackrock Mountain
The Grand Tournament
League of Explorers
Hall of Fame
just tiny correction Drakonid Operative - Dragon Priest not Dragon WarriorNVM, I think I was completely blind, I saw Drakonid Operative, its not rotated out tho -_- what's wrong with meJust another correction. Drakonid Operative will stay in standard for another year.
Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
I wrote accidently Drakonid Operative (idk why), and then I changed it immediately after I posted. But I wasn't quick enough. -lol
Its some pretty significant cards that are leaving this time. I wish they would have taken out the gadgetzan cards as well. Damn i'm sick of jades..
Just imagine how hard must be create all new cards , when there are so much leaving this year + some of them so usable and powerful .
Do it or do not , there is no try...
