Favorite Cards by Rarity

We're kind of in a down-time between Reveal Season and a new expansion coming out, so while we wait for Tuesday I thought I'd ask a question: what are your favorite Hearthstone cards by rarity? This came up in a conversation with my father, and turns out going through the list was harder than I expected.
To start things off, here are mine:
- Basic - Frostbolt.
- Common - Jade Spirit. I've had a lot of fun playing Jade decks; I like their inevitable nature, growing bigger threats.
- Rare - Stonehill Defender. Taunt is my favorite Keyword, and he's a staple of Quest Taunt Warrior (my favorite deck).
- Epic - Scion of Ruin. Dragons are my favorite minion type, and summoning three guys with Rush is great.
- Legendary - Fire Plume's Heart. It's got to be; sorry, Frost Lich Jaina. You know I love you too.
I assume all cards are fair game here, although you're welcome to do Standard-only if you want.

Basic : Animal Companion. Forgot about basic LOL
Common : Time Out!, better than DH's Blur because it protects you even on enemy turn.
Rare : Defile
Epic : Ice Block
Legendary : Zilliax
basically, if hero immunity get printed more, I would definitely chose that.
Knowledge is Power
Basic - Goldshire Footman. :D
Common - Silver Hand Regent. Everyone can be paladin for a day! And the card art is amazing.
Rare - Zandalari Templar. I like the golden animation
Epic - Fal'dorei Strider. Best Rogue card ever printed to me!
Legendary - Patches the Pirate because he is so cool! Too bad he is longer in charge ;(
ᄽὁȍ ̪ őὀᄿ Please check out my Wild Spider Queen deck! Fanfiction included. Mwuah! ᄽὁȍ ̪ őὀᄿ
I agree haha. I don't generally care for the Rogue, but I do like me some shuffle shenanigans.
You ask tough questions, it was hard to come up with anything proper for some rarities:
Basic: Reckless Rocketeer its kind of like Leeroy but better because it's a goblin on a rocket.
Common: Noble Sacrifice 10/10 sound effect right here
Rare: Togwaggle's Scheme I've always loved shuffle effects
Epic: Gnomeferatu I uh like milling cards yeah.
Legendary: Bandersmosh Hi'reek memes and playing dragon queen on turn 5 great meme times you really cant go wrong with the smosh
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Basic: Polymorph: Nice removal, reliable and helpfull against a number of decks. (Mainly Ress priest).
Common: Hallucination: Oh i miss this card in standard... We kinda got [Hearthstone Card (Pilver) Not Found] and Dragon's Hoard to replace it, but i still miss it in stanard. At least it's still good in wild thief rogue.
Rare: Spirit of the Shark: Was only played a bit in ROS battlecry Lacky Rogue, but it's still my favorite card from RA. Also in wild it's rogues "Budget" version of Brann Bronzebeard.
Epic!: Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron: Powerfull card, worth the 10 mana, and ALWAYS Lethal. (You never know for who it's going to be lethal). Also i find it funny how this was an UPGRADE to Yogg-Saron, Hope's End for quite a bit. Thank goodness they unnerfed yogg. (Gnomeferatu get's close second tho)
WOAH! LEGENDARY: The Amazing Reno, Zephrys the Great, Face Collector, Bazaar Burglary AND EVEN Yogg-Saron, Hope's End... i'm sorry. But i gotta stick to the one... The one... THE ONLY... Tess Greymane! Tess was the card that managed to hook me onto the thief/burgle rogue archetype and everything you do in that deck is just prepping for this one card. And when you unleash her (And put like 10 copies in your deck with Togwaggle's Scheme) It just gives such an.. indiscribable feeling. It just feels sooo good. Even better than yogg! (Mainly because you have a lot more control over what get's played)
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Honorable mentions: Unstable Evolution, Renounce Darkness, Deathwing, Mad Aspect (for the best entrance music)
As you can see, I really like good anti-Aggro tools. I don't hate that archetype, the only reason is that these give the most "Whew, I'm saved!" moments.
Put your faith in the Light!
Basic: Whirlwind - look at that golden animation. Also it's fun to go swoosh
Common: North Sea Kraken - sounds like a kaiju, looks like a kaiju, can go face, it's perfect
Rare: Darkshire Librarian - Discard Support and waifu
Epic: Cannon Barrage - pulling this off with a full board = pp very hard
Legendary: Princess Huhuran - just look at the entrance animation....also waifu (don't judge me)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Demons, giant bug ladies, and librarians? You have some strange tastes, but I'm not one to judge, and of course, that animation is quite nice too bad she was power crept so painfully

The really sad part is that Un'Goro wasn't even that long after Whispers of the Old Gods; just a short year later.
I'm sorry :(
C'Thun is pretty high on my list, as well; I don't know why I love it so.
[Hearthstone Card (Basic) Not Found] - Animal Companion, the ever reliable Hunter card.
[Hearthstone Card (Common) Not Found] - Eternium Rover. Being a Warrior main, this card has been an auto-include in decks for as long as I can remember. I'll miss it once it's gone from standard.
[Hearthstone Card (Rare) Not Found] - Dyn-o-matic, unique removal for Warrior. I like that it's not a simple board clear, that you actually had to set up the board state to maximize the effect.
[Hearthstone Card (Epic) Not Found] - Corpsetaker, such a unique design for a card. It was always annoying whenever you drew one of the keywords before you could play her, but when you pull it off, it's always satisfying. Honorable mention to Supercollider, just a fun weapon to play and strategize against.
Legendary - Sunkeeper Tarim, the ultimate equalizer. There was almost never a bad time to play him. Also the first legendary I ever crafted, so he has a special place in my heart.
