Boom, the uncommon hero.

With a return to classic, they will be making new minis. Thus uncommon hero will be largely un-needed mechanic.

I disagree here, simply because the mechanic is really good. You are right about how it came about, but it's not a lame mechanic but something that really adds to the game. I, for one, would be sad to see it disappear (though seeing it less would be fine).
