Core plus six sets (including associated minis), rotate every 2 months.
However, some sets are going to be dead filler under this plan. A set like The Grand Tournament can't compete with the stuff that's in the meta right now. There again, there are always a few meta-warping stand-outs, like Justicar Trueheart and Mysterious Challenger.
Not really. Sure TGT is full of filler but even commons like Living Roots or Buccaneer or Bash or Totem Golem or even Lowly Squire can be very playable in some archetypes in some decks. Of course, random 3 mana 5/2 won't see play in any combination of sets but those didn't see any play in their standard either.
Core + 2 "years" seems to be a rather boring option for me because we will see A LOT of past standard decks with minor adjustments to replace cards from the next\previous year. If anything, I'd love a system that doesn't allow more than 2 sets from the same year in the same rotation.
For all the crap T5 gets for not making the game F2P-friendly, this many rotations with this many sets, in these short time frames, is the most F2P-unfriendly thing one can conjure.
The sheer amount of cards you'd need to join the meta when that same meta shifts every month, as the person above suggested, is mental. Not to mention how harsh the current dust economy would be.
All of this goes beyond the whole idea of the game being relatively accessible to new players. And it's a fact that a game lives or dies by how many new players join the target audience. All in all, if this were to be a thing, it needs to be a separate ladder, apart from Ranked. Otherwise, people simply can't keep up.
And why exactly F2Ps should be able to compete in EVERY game mode? Why exactly new players should be able to compete in EVERY game mode? (Also, note how devs don't even consider mode without a core set. I think it is exactly because they don't want a mode that can't be played at all if you are a new player)
And NO ONE is suggesting to replace wild or standard ranked with this
Players who have accumulated large collections deserve a way to use their collections.
