QUOTE A New Way to Playhttp://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/19995505Exciting changes are coming to the Tavern! We’re proud to announce that we’re introducing game formats to Hearthstone! Whether you’re just getting into Hearthstone or you’re a seasoned veteran, the new Standard format will help keep Hearthstone fresh, exciting, and accessible for years to come, while the Wild format will preserve everything you already know and love about Hearthstone! seems like the game is going to get slightly more complex -- more options, etc. in summary: * standard play <-- limited card sets can be used in deck * wild <-- all card sets can be used in deck * some changes to cards * 18 slots (once all 9 heroes are unlocked) * old adventures/ expansion not part of "standard" will be phased out <-- tip: if you want them, either craft or buy first wing to still make them available * all changes should be coming in spring 2016 |

can't help but note that this is also basically forcing ppl to buy adventures before they are phased out. crafting cards using dust might be more expensive. <-- i did not do an actually calculation, just gut feel

Well in some cases it's cheaper. For e.g. if you wanted Death's Bite, before you either have to cough up the USD or grind 2800gp for 4 Naxx wings just to be able to use it. Now you can craft for a measly 40dust each.

It's written there in the blizzard blog post: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/1...o-play-2-2-2016Under the section " Gone Wild": QUOTE Adventures and Expansions that are not part of the Standard format will no longer be available for purchase from the Shop—this year, that includes Naxxramas and Goblins vs Gnomes. If you want any cards you missed out on for Wild play or just to fill out your collection, you’ll be able to craft them using Arcane Dust—even cards from Adventures that were previously un-craftable. Speaking of Adventures, if you’ve purchased at least the first wing of an Adventure before it cycled out, you’ll still be able to finish acquiring and playing the remaining wings.

just chanced on this article: http://www.polygon.com/2016/2/2/10888192/h...2016-deck-slotsQUOTE "Some classes have too many cards that are just too high power level," he said. "It makes it very hard to make new cards for classes like druid, because they have so many really good cards in Basic and Classic. We have to do some nerfs to make sure we can still see a different druid deck as a new set comes out." looks like druid might get nerfed. |

Some people are guessing that Antonidas (or freeze mage deck in general) might get the nerf axe too - due to it being a decklist that is least affected by the loss of naxx/gvg (Freeze mage only loses mad scientist).

QUOTE(Moogle Stiltzkin @ Feb 4 2016, 11:07 PM) the bad thing however is, making old expansions non obtainable. this is because you can no longer purchase it...... so if your a new player or hadn't yet got it, you'll never be able to try it.... sounds retarded..... bad decision. you can still obtain the cards by crafting them, however people like me enjoy playing the boss adventure mode. so why bar people out just because they are late comers, or got around to it much later..... ya, new players won't have access to old adventures but there will be new ones...  |

since the cards from old adventures is available from crafting, blizzard probably should make the adventures available to all the players for free, it's just for fun, like players wont get the reward if they havent cleared it before.

Actually not sure a good move or bad move, the way they trying to keep hearthstone fresh and reachable by new player should be appreciated.
Wait and see, i think mid and end of Feb should be more news as expansion coming this March.

New Standard and Wild format will release in March. GVG + Naxx will banned in Standard, but Wild you can play any set forever.
