If I had to guess - They removed Frostbolt because it would be too powerful with the ice school synergies. Perhaps, Anton and Apprentice had to go because of good cheap spells AND\OR ways to make mage minions cheaper.
The whole reason of Core Set existence is to allow cards that were impossible before because they would be too powerful with certain evergreen cards.
I really hope that Blizzard will continue to decrease the powerlevel of the core set in the next years to increase the power gap between standard and wild so that both formats feel more different and don't interfere with each other in the form of nerfs.
Are we looking at the same Core Set? Core Set is, on average, is much stronger than the old basic\class sets.
He was weak before now he is badly powercreeped by the new Alex and the new demon hunter's 8\8. I'd very much prefer they brought back some hunter legendary from the wild.
I am curious if there will be a legend-viable deck made only from core set cards. It is an impossible feat to achieve with classic+basic but with the core set it may be a possible thing.
Basic cards and their Golden versions will be granted to all players that have Wild unlocked for free at rotation, as will the normal versions of Demon Hunter Initiate cards (Golden Demon Hunter Initiate cards will still be craftable and disenchantable).
If golden demon hunter initiate are craftable and disenchantable then, I assume, basic cards will be just like they are now - impossible to DE. My hopes to DE that trash to have easier time scrolling through the collection can rest in piece
Rewarding players who pay attention and DE every classic card which goes to core seems pretty silly. I hope they have a solution for this! Why keep it in your collection if you get them back for free after the anyway?
I hope I have misunderstood something.
Core set is temporary. Sure you can DE your Tirion but he may leave the Core Set next year.
Lmao you people. No, you're not going to be able to DE all the classic and basic cards. If they were given to you for free by blizzard, they won't be free dust.
We can dust formerly basic cards that were moved to HoF and became commons, so there is a precedent.
143*2*50=14300 is quite a lot of dust but it isn't something that will bankrupt Blizzard

Found a card that annoys me - King Krush
He was weak before now he is badly powercreeped by the new Alex and the new demon hunter's 8\8. I'd very much prefer they brought back some hunter legendary from the wild.

It is better because it triggers on attacks on minions too. I think this is the best paladin secret ever.

Will be played a lot. Even this + 2 mana spell is a huge amount of tempo.

It is a good elemental to bring back with the new N'zoth. Yes, you hurt your own board but clearing opponents board may be more important

Those are not wasted space. Random generation exists. Arena exists. Most importantly new players still exist and some vanilla should exist.

From the core set announcement
