Basically because you want to use it just for his Silence effect and not for his stats: given this, Ironbeak Owl is considered to fit the same role and to be better at it at the same time.
Long story short, Spellbreaker is not rotated not because he's oppressive or OP, but rather because there are two Classic neutral cards with the same effect, which is quite redundant.
It is kind of a reasonable motivation if you ask me, but is Spellbreaker the biggest issue in the Classic set when we have crap like Arcane Golem, which will never ever see play? Ehh... Maybe the overhaul project has just begun.
Consider that all those who went to the HS Summit almost a month ago haven't taken position on this leak yet. Totally. Kibler is like: "ok you can talk about whatever you want, but I'll wait for tomorrow's announcement because hype because effort the team put bla bla bla".
Unless they change something in the remaining 5/6 hours (which I doubt), I dare to say it is all legit.
As for reverting Raza ... as fun as it is to be on the winning end of the machine gun combo, I don't miss its helpless uninteractivity play style of facing it.
I'm going to be totally fair and square on the matter: I'd like to see Raza reverted not because it would be good for Wild (like you said, it wouldn't be: just from from the top of my head, Radiant Elemental + Test Subject + Embalming Ritual + Topsy Turvy is an infinite damage combo together with 0 mana Voidform. Yeah, infinite damage, just like Sniplock capped around your turn's time limit), but rather because I can't stress enough how much I loved the deck back in the day and because Mages can take 3 turns in a row, Warlocks can play and win with Mecha'thun on turn 8 but we can't have some pew pew here and there. When I face those archetypes, my only thought is "I just wanna race them down with their own medicine".
Priest feels terribly miserable to play against, and I'm not saying that because I can't win against the class. My opinion is that it's just dull and unfun for both sides.
I really miss those times were we had cool stuff like Mind Blast Combo Priest or Dragon Priest.
At least give us back Raza in Wild and we may call it even for now, deal?
Why am I under the impression that this looks soooo bad to be a legendary?
Quite comparable to Shadow Ascendant, with the difference that it costs 1 more and has its buffs doubled.
The fact that it discounts every third spell and not just the third one opens up a lot of deck building space
Who will win? Some advanced armor tech or a flappy boi?
Warlocks flash mob in the card's art
I wanna cry

Yes, but consider that some Priest cards will rotate as well!
Make sure to craft or unlock them (both regular and golden) before March 26th!
I guess it was the introduction of the new class: we haven't heard (KEKW) nothing about the new expansion yet.
Now that you mention it, you're totally right. I'm sorry.

My guess is that they'll just change it so it will only target your demons: in this way, both Lord Jaraxxus and Demon Hunter's Demons will be spared.
Heroic Strike but with cycling.
We still don't know well how Blizz will develop Demon Hunter's class identity, but this is a card that could at least see play in other classes.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy
Woah, Disfigure and the art in the thumbnail are so cool.
I don't really know what they stand for or what they're skins of, but man these are some sick arts.

Oh yeah, I'm so glad this thread never dies. Necromancy isn't always a bad thing after all :D
These are my numbers 1 month after my last post
Priest: 735 - If Raza is going to be unnerfed I dare to say King Anduin will be my first 1k skin
Hunter: 553 - Dragon Hunter is fun and all, but racing down your opponents isn't
Rogue: 694 - Imagine paying mana for your cards 4Head
Improved Shaman and Warlock, but to be fair I haven't played much in the last weeks due to other stuff.
By the way, Tasty Flyfish should at least get a special mention.
