So, let's talk about what they could do.Keyword here is Unnerf, not buff, so they are only changing cards that have been nerfed already.They are taking cards from current wild expansions (5), Year of the Raven expansions (4) and Descent of Dragons (1).The candidates from the first bucket are: Yogg-Saron, Hope's End, Call of the Wild, Tuskarr Totemic, Spirit Claws, Small-Time Buccaneer, The Caverns Below, Spreading Plague, Raza the Chained, Patches the Pirate, Spiteful Summoner, Call to Arms, Aviana, Leeching Poison, Saronite Chain Gang, Lesser Emerald Spellstone and Barnes. Taking out cards that would be too broken or still unplayable, we're left with Yogg-Saron, Hope's End, Raza the Chained, Spiteful Summoner, Spiteful Summoner, Barnes, Aviana and Saronite Chain Gang.The second group contains cards that are rotating, so stuff from the Year of the Raven. Possible choices include Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, Extra Arms, Luna's Pocket Galaxy, Raiding Party, Giggling Inventor. Giggling would be extremely powerful in wild, and LPG is currently in the meta, thanks to Dragoncaster, therefore needs no revert. That leaves us with Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, Extra Arms, Raiding Party, and obviously Reckless Experimenter.The third group is to be treated with caution, since the cards are still standard legal and will be after rotation.
Archivist Elysiana, EVIL Miscreant, Conjurer's Calling, Corrupt Elementalist, Sludge Slurper, Faceless Corruptor, Mogu Fleshshaper, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, Necrium Apothecary, Invocation of Frost, Dragon's Pack, Ancharrr, Scion of Ruin and Fiendish Rites will in fact leave standard next april, and were nerfed for a reason. Archivist remains unplayable in wild, but the difference between 8 and 9 is insignificant since Baleful Banker is leaving. Miscreant, Conjurer's, Elementalist, Sludge Slurper, Faceless Corruptor, Dragonqueen Alextrasza, Dragon's Pack, Ancharrr, Scion and Fiendish Rites would be problematic in standard, so the best candidates for a revert, imo, are Mogu Fleshshaper, Necrium Apothecary and Necrium Apothecary, since Necrium Blade and Vial are rotating to wild.
