With all the talk about which card should be nerfed, which cards that are being talked about would you NOT want Blizzard to nerf?

Some of the commonly listed cards that I would not like to see nerfed are:

Alexstrasza: I like OTK decks and freeze mage is among the most sophisticated to play. While I understand that having all the core cards of this deck in the classic pool will make it an eternal deck which is the opposite of what standard is supposed to bring to Hearthstone, I really don't want it to be gutted. It's unique in play style, very strategic and is easily countered by the right archetypes (meaning it will never be the top deck in any meta).

Jaraxxus: Some people have mentioned him as OP and I never understood why. Yes, his power level is insane, but he is at 9 mana and puts you at a health total where most decks can kill you the same turn, meaning you can't actually rely on him without some very good planning or a slip up from your opponent.

Ancient of Lore: Yeah, he might be an auto-include in every druid, but I don't think there is much harm in that. He is only ridiculous because druid is always searching for his combo. Otherwise it's a very fair card draw mechanic and an interesting one at that as it's the only one attached to a very high cost minion and AoL has the secondary function of healing.

Force of Nature: I hate the combo because it defines the whole class. That being said, I hope they tone down the druid's reach rather than completely remove it. I prefer decks that have some finisher rather than consistently going for a tempo victory or completely grinding you out.

Antonidas: I think he is a perfectly balanced card. People call him an auto-include, but I disagree. He is only an auto-include because he just happens to have synergy with every current mage deck. I don't think there would be a mage deck running all those cheap low-value spells if it weren't for wyrm, apprentice and flamewaker. Similarly, if it weren't for the freeze mage OTK, no one would run a long game where they try to Thaurissan frost bolts and ice lances to turn them into fireballs. Yes, he is insane, but only because the spells that work best with him are auto-includes by themselves. If you try to build a different mage archetype like echo-giants or Reno mage you will see that he doesn't work in every context and if the design team wants us to not auto-include him, they should just release the tools to make a mage archetype that doesn't have synergy with him.
