* The game has had a few cases of entire mechanics or keywords being too cumbersome to function, and thus tanking the viability of a good chunk of their associated set. ''The Grand Tournament'' is particularly infamous for introducing not one, but ''two'' mechanics that completely flopped on their face:
** The '''Joust''' mechanic, where a card makes both players reveal a minion from their deck, and if yours had a higher cost, you get a bonus effect on the Joust card. While theoretically interesting in terms of deckbuilding, Joust was ultimately too clunky to function - to consistently win a Joust, you needed to stick nothing but big minions in your deck while praying your opponent isn't playing anything bigger, and most of the Joust cards were barely better than vanilla stats even when the Joust went off.
** '''Inspire''' was the other major mechanic from ''The Grand Tournament'', and is a keyword that triggers when the player uses their hero power while the minion with Inspire is in play. The basic hero powers are intentionally ''underpowered'' for their mana cost to compensate for them not using up a card, so in practice, Inspire basically meant that you'd be paying 2 extra mana on the Inspire minion to make it not suck... and the vast majority of the time, the payoff was most definitely not worth it. While a few Inspire cards were at least usable (for instance, Confessor Paletress and Nexus-Champion Saraad could at least give you some nice highrolls, Murloc Knight was downright broken in Arena, and Eager Squire was used by Odd tempo decks when Baku the Mooneater was introduced), the vast majority of them never had a chance. Fortunately, Blizzard learned from this and later cards tied to Hero Power usage like Phase Stalker would at least be more reasonably statted or give proportionate effects.

** '''Overkill''' from ''Rastakhan's Rumble'' has a strong claim on being the worst keyword in the entire game. To trigger Overkill, you need the Overkill card to deal more damage than necessary to kill an enemy minion on your turn; what this means is that Overkill spells and weapons need to be played at less-than-optimal efficiency to actually get the Overkill effect, while triggering it on a minion requires it to not be traded into or removed on your opponent's turn and the opponent to leave a small enough minion to be Overkilled, and to add insult to injury, most Overkill cards were poor for the mana cost to begin with and did not offer enough of a reward to justify jumping through those hoops. Pretty much the only Overkill cards to see play were Oondasta (who at least had Rush and a decent statline while slotting nicely into existing Big Beast Hunter builds) and Linecracker (in a Druid combo that could potentially give them ''over 2500 Armor''), while the rest were consigned to the trash heap.

** '''Frenzy''' was the headline mechanic of ''Forged in the Barrens'' and it ended up being a letdown. It triggers the first time the minion takes damage and survives. The problem is if the card was killed in one shot or hard removed, it did nothing. The majority also had to sit on the board for a turn before you could make use of their effects. This made a large number of minions with Frenzy extremely slow and vulnerable to removal, which was not a good thing to be in a very control-heavy meta. The only Frenzy minions that saw competitive play were Samuro and Stonemaul Anchorman (both had Rush so they could use their effects immediately), Kresh (who had a ton of health, plus even in the worst case still had an okay Deathrattle) and Efficient Ocotobot (an ''extremely'' overtuned mana cheat card that thrived in spite of the keyword, not because of it).

* In Wild, Hunter has long been the worst class in the format. The class has a chronic lack of control tools and card draw, instead focusing on BoringButPractical tempo and aggro playstyles. This unfortunately made their cards very susceptible to power creep, as control classes just keep getting better at shutting them down, other aggro classes can race them down easily while also having more fuel in the tank, and combo decks from Priest and Druid can set up kill turns much faster than the average Hunter can kill them. The addition of Prince Renathal giving a lot of decks more health for Hunters to burst down didn't help matters either, nor does the class's lack of build variety since everything that isn't aggro or midrange inevitably struggles with staying power and consistency.
