    posted a message on Hall of fame speculations April 2019

    Let me preface this by saying that I do not think that all of these will be moved, but are rather all the possibilities in my opinion.

    Neutral:

    Gadgetzan Auctioneer

    This is pretty much a staple in miracle and theif Rouge, while also seeing use in different types of OTK Druid decks. Overall it is a very powerful card and has a good chance of being moved to the Hall of Fame.

    Leeroy Jenkins

    This card has dominated the meta as an externally powerful finisher and combo starter in odd decks. Leeroy is an extremely powerful card that fits a niche of a 5-mana charge minion, and fills that role very well. With the decrease in Blizzard’s willingness to print charge cards Leeroy will continue to be powerful regardless of the standard rotation and would make a good choice for the Hall of Fame.

    Paladin:

    Divine FavorHoly Wrath

    Both of these cards have been extremely powerful because of thier ability to swing games or close them out. Divine Favor allowed Aggro and Midrange Paladins to rush their opponents with a very strong early game while almost negating the downside against control or midrange decks. If your opponent held cards to deal with your threats then you got a free hand after running out of gas. Holy Wrath has seen minor play in Wild decks with a giants combo, however it has risen to prominence in a double OTK, control Paladin deck. I think this card has less of a chance to see the Hall than Divine Favor because the Uther Death Knight is rotating out, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility.

    Rouge:

    Preparation

    Preparation is a card that has been an auto-include in most Rouge decks to surface, only dropping out of prominence with the introduction of odd Rouge. Decks such as theif, miracle, and sometimes combo/aggro Rouge run two copies of this card. It’s a zero mana triple coin for spells that activates Combo, empties your hand and accelerates Rouge to unnatural levels.
