As the title reads, i'm preditcing that once the nostalgia factor fades out in one week or so, everyone will remember how super anti-fun was facing 2014 face hunter with 4 Mana Leeroy Jenkins, 2 mana Unleash the Hounds, 2 mana Starving Buzzard plus 0 mana Hunter's Mark and leave it.
classic yugioh-format (aka goat) is rising as hell where you can play some of the most powerful cards ever.
Except Goat is an actual fun format where decks get to do what they're supposed to do before they die, you're not limited to play goat control in goat format in fact it¡s arguably not a tier 0 deck, you can play Zoo, Beasts, Monarchs, Asura priest OTK and Chaos which in all honesty have very diverse playstyles, 2014 hearthstone was play Face hunter which was literal tier 0, spend 15k dust in control warrior which was the only deck that frigging countered it or just flat out lose,
Not only that but since early powerful yugioh cards tend to be generic every deck can use them, if you get delinquent duoed and top deck a delinquent duo you can do that back to a opponent, you can even tech in a Nek mane king on any deck to counter something like delinquent duo, and snatch steal is a two way street
When all the most powerful cards are limited to a class and due to a limited card pool most of the other classes don't have an actual answer to that class, (Taunts, heal and AoE used to be scarce and heavily overpriced) then you have a problem
They'll keep slowly updating it just like they're doing with WoW. Eventually we'll move onto Naxx, Gvg, BRM and so on.
For now this is fine. But yes, people will quickly get bored of it. Also, Unleash will be 3 mana, not 2.
If WoW released today, nobody would play it. It is far too basic for min-maxing capabilities of modern players. What made Classic WoW successful was in big part was the nostalgia of playing with old friends and in small part was the utter failure of BFA. None of that is true for HS, there is no social aspect to HS and modern HS expansion have more creative cards than older ones.
As someone who didn't play classic (I started during GvG), I don't think I will be playing the Classic format for more than 1 month at most.
I crafted Bloodmage Thalnos and Alexstrasza for Standard mode couple of day ago. So Blizzard will give dust refund? NO. I do not want to play on Classic mode. Blizzard forces me to play on Classic mode. I don't have any avaiable dust. If Classic format dies, I can't play the game.
We knew about the Classic/Basic set revamp months in advance. We knew it was all going away, and we knew they weren't going to give dust refunds for the entire Classic set.
You have only yourself to blame if you craft cards you know will rotate in less than a month.

I think you missed the part where Blizzard's post explicitly states that it would be the classic version AFTER the necessary balance changes were implemented. So aside from the 4-mana Leeroy, which really wasn't that big of a deal, most of these "problems" are moot ones...
It's not made to succeed. It's just a way to keep using the cards that are being taken away without being Wild mode as they wont see play. Its to be fun for a little while. Its not the new game mode and its not meant to be something hugely successful
I don’t believe it’s likely to be played anymore than Duels and I don’t exactly expect it to be a big success. I can appreciate it’s a new mode and for some people it will be something they really enjoy. I would be surprised if they added all the other expansions to it in time, but if they choose to go that route I hope it’s a format where everything is pre-nerf.
I actually don't think so. If people are playing wild which is an unbalanced stale mess, I'm pretty sure there will be people that enjoy the classic set (not myself included though)

What do you expect from a dumbed down version of Everquest? Hell they even stole the murlocs.

I miss playing Everquest. That was without doubt the best MMORPG ever created.
While this will only be modestly played compared to standard and wild, I think it's a clever move from team 5. It's a decent way for a distributor to give it's consumers what they payed for and it's a way of giving the devs a lot more freedom to mess with the game, without massive community outrage. Lately I've noticed quiet a lot of rants about the game being worse than ever, aggro being way too dominating and control being way too limited. Well, Now people can get their old HS nostalgia and probably realize, that games just get old at some point, without some major updates every now and then. I don't remember the game having that much balance or variation back then, but it was still a good time in the history of the game. I didn't have that many cards back then, so I can finally go full P2W warrior 2014.
Was there btw any other good control deck, than warrior back then?
Already made my decks, just waiting for it to release. No more'created by' thank god!
Agreed. There are now regularly more cards being generated during a game than actually being played from the original deck. The over-reliance on card generation, discovery, cheating out cards, and pure randomness ruined this game for me. What's the point of playing a 20-minute game to the best of your ability only for a Yogg to crush all your hopes?
I often wondered if I was being nostalgic, but after looking at the decks from back around 2014 I honestly felt that itch to play again. Were things perfect? No. But at least it captured the spirit of Hearthstone for me much more than the state the game is in today.

I'm looking forward to the changes! Will be nice to change things up, and if you don't enjoy that format, you can play a different one.
