It also will force people to keep buying new expansions to be competitive, as over time people will eventually collect all the classic cards and if people can form legit competitive decks with just basic and classic cards the incentive to buy new ones is less.
Illidan is a classic legendary and I would assume he's a character with enough juice that WoW fans would actually be excited to use him.
I don't think making Lightwarden a 1/3 would stop people from buying packs. I do think that buffing a couple of basic cards so that a F2P person could make it to rank 15 instead of languishing at 18-20 forever would be cool.
