II'm in the same boat, I've played since launch, and I had been hopeful for the 10th anniversary this year, though I hadn't played much this expansion for the first time since launch, I was waiting to see what they would do next.
Then this. I have uninstalled Hearthstone, and unless they backtrack I'm not sure I will be back. I've been a whale in the past, having spent probably a thousand dollars on this game total, and ten years of consistent playtime, but the current hearthstone management is terrible. I had kept some hope that maybe the change to Microsoft ownership would cause some improvement, but apparently not.
There were entire classes I never played in standard/wild that I played the heck out of in Duels, every time a new Demon hunter card was announced I was excited to play it in Duels, but I've probably played like 3 games of Demon hunter total in constructed.
I'm sure Duels earned Blizzard plenty of money they just couldn't see, because it wasn't monetized separately from constructed, but the best part of unlocking new cards each expansion was playing more new gimmick decks.
If I had to make one critique of Duels it was the sets. it started out with a small subset, and each expansion they would add 2 new sets (the newest and one older one). this meant that the potential for breaking combos got worse, and decks stagnated. if I were them I would have done an Arena-like rotation of sets for Duels, so each season you can log in and try something new. what i would NOT do is kill the only mode that felt fresh and new each time
Of course like everyone else I hated the change to the bucket system, tagging each of 140 cards in an expansion with a tag is probably something that should already have been being done for future cataloging, and probably took one intern like a day to do, so not doing it probably saved almost no money, and now shutting down the mode will save that same amount of money again, so good job Blizz, enjoy all the money you won't earn from this change.

If you open up hearthstone on your phone you can click resume and then click where you would usually press the lever to get your rewards even though it doesnt show up and you can unstuck your game. Then log back in on pc and it should work. did for me at least
