First of all, I'm surprised to not see Conjurer's Calling upon that list.
Unlike most, I'm pretty satisfied with the current meta. Rogue is way too prevalent, but with the right tech choices (DOUBLE OOZE), many classes CAN beat them (avg >50% WR). If rogue and warrior get nerfed, we have to look at the other top tier decks including mech hunter, token druid, Murloc Shaman and Conjurers mage.
Per class I'll discuss what cards I'd consider for nerfs:
Rogue: I would not like to see Edwin nerfed/removed. He's an iconic card in Rogue and offers a unique win condition for the class. If a nerf happens, I'd prefer something like making him a 3/3 for 4. I'd like to keep the 'huge stats fantasy' but at 3 mana, it's sometimes problematic when you face a 10/10 turn 2.
That said, I'd rather see Prep nerfed. The card is omnipresent in rogue and who can blame them. A 3 mana cheat is huge, especially since druid's 2 mana cheat was nerfed, I think this is due to get nerfed. Prep is restricted by requiring a spell to combo with it rather than a minion, making it fairer than an innervate effect and rogue has historically very few good 3+ mana spells. In comes Raiding party, a 3 mana draw 3, which flips this statement upside down. The combo is essentially a 0 mana turn 2 cards into 3. WOW. It is restricted by requiring to play pirates and weapons, but right now that seems to work out a bit too well. Prep in classic means that rogue can never get good 3+ cost spells. Perhaps making prep cost 1 mana and give a 4 cost reduction would be better, which is a nerf to prep + a 3- cost card but remains the same for perp + sprint or + vanish which are reasonable combo's.
Warrior: Boom hero card: I'm not sure how this should be effectively nerfed. Make it cost 9? I personally don't believe this card is THE problem.
Dyn-o-matic however... Boy this card is insane. It is the reason why warrior is so good against tempo decks EXCEPT mech decks. Make it deal 4 damage split. Looks like a small nerf, but that 1 extra damage can swing many games.
Elysiana: I don't think she's too strong per se, but a 50 card deck mirror match is a bit long imo. At 9 or 10 mana she can't reliably be bounced into hand or deck. Only shaman will still be able to reliably get 2 triggers, but from my experience, I always won against control warrior as Shaman anyways unless they could Hecklebot my Elysiana.
Token druid: SAVAGE ROAR. This card is just savage and surprisingly keeps surviving the nerf rotations. At 4 cost would be more reasonable. The effect is comparable with bloodlust, but it also gives +2 to the hero. This card makes tokens so much more frightening with double roar at 6 mana.
Conjurer's mage: I chose this name because tbh this card is the carry, more than Kadgar. Even though Kadgar is definitely OP, it's a one of card while this is... a 4 of? The card would be good without the twinspell effect. The card right now is just insane. At 4 mana, it'll still be a good card.
Mech Hunter: I'm not seeing one card that is OP on it's own. I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and say that they are just thriving because everyone techs against rogue and not them. Silences and heals would be very effective against them.
Murloc Shaman: Underbelly Angler is obviously the carry here. Not sure if he should be nerfed yet. Again, I think it's feasting on the control decks teching against rogue instead of AOE.
tl;dr:
Prep: cost reduction (3) -> (2)
OR Cost 0 -> 1 mana with cost reduction (3) -> (4)
Dyn-o-matic: Deals 5 -> 4 damage randomly split
Elysiana: Cost 8 -> 9 mana
Savage Roar: Cost 3 -> 4 mana
Conjurer's calling: Cost 3 -> 4 mana
Disclaimer: I played the majority of the games with Dragon control shaman (it's just control shaman with the neutral dragon package) with which I climbed from rank 5 to legendary. I believe with these nerfs that my deck will become even better, so I'm not completely unbiased. I haven't faced anyone else on the ladder with the same decktype, though. So I think this deck is far from tier 1.

Edwin nerf? This card is iconic. It does what legendary card suppose - be good.

Thank you so much :3
I was hoping to see Naxx in standard, it was my fav expansion they ever released.
Btw. I'm in shook, baku and genn rotate out :o

I didn't follow this update (i forgot about hearthstone xD). Which expansion will rotate out and with will rotate in?
I have heard Naxx will rotate in into standard, is that even true? :o

In my opinion Witchwood & Boomsday are best expansions ever added into HS. It refreshed meta and I just wait for rotate to see more these two expansions. For now people are comparing OP KoFT to these two and they think it's weak.

Hearthstone is somewhere at the end where the dogs bark their asses. R.I.P

Exactly. Blizz adding card's that are not super strong, they wanna chill meta. Imo KoFT was the worst expansion just because broken card's it brought.

ha-ha?! It's most impactful expansion ever. I never saw soo many decks after one expansion drop. Look at HSreplay or any other data collecting site. In top tier 1 is not much, but there is aloot of alternative decks that are not for ladder but for fun. Personally if people wouldn't be focused on "quick win or lose" meta would be different.

Giggling Inventor is balanced card. It's like, you take it because it's good and you getting punishend by Blood Knight. Same thing is happening with AoE's card. You know opponent has alot of AoE so you do not put All-in on board because he can clear it in one spell.
Giggling has weak body and only offer slowing down for one turn. But keep it in mind, alot of people run one Mossy Horror and 1 or 2 Blood Knight because these cards are just too good in current Divine shield meta.

Guys, I was playing this game for about a year... I can swear, I always thought there is DeathRATE not DeathRATTLE, I just realized that after saying deathrate to a friend and he corrected me "Bruh, it's deathrattle" I was like "Hell no, for real?" then I checked a random Deathrattle minion from my deck and I have been stuned :o It's like... Who life was a lie. Anyone of you had same mandela effect? :o

If it's not golden you can disenchant easily :D Golden wizbang is what you should look for. Whole golden deck is just a dream <3
