We should expect a major revamp of the Basic/Classic set at the start of the next Hearthstone year. link
The entire set is being examined, not just one class like Priest was this past year. link
This year, there will not be any replacements for the 5 neutrals that were Hall of Famed, but it sounds like it’ll be addressed next year when they revamp the Basic/Classic set. link

Also sorry this didn't get into the notes but: Yes Edwin will still rotate later this year and yes we will be reverting the nerf (along with others) at that time.

Want to take a second to clarify our plan for Edwin VanCleef. There are big changes coming to Hearthstone in 2021. We aren’t quite ready to share the full details, but they will be positive changes for both gameplay and the ease of getting into the game with a limited collection.

As one small part of this, Edwin’s time in Standard will come to a close. However, Hall of Fame as it has existed will be no more. This means there is no additional benefit to crafting or hoarding extra Edwins today.

In the coming months, we’ll be sharing some more details about what the changes are and why you should be hyped for them no matter what type of player you are.
