You have heard of the Death Knight class right? 
Or the Monk, or even the Demon Hunter...

You may not realise but Hearthstone is actually based off of the Game World of Warcraft, and Warcraft, which contain classes that have not yet reached the game

My point is the game will get stale if the developers don't make any bold moves... Honestly my suggestion isn't as ridiculous as you propose it is a much asked feature actually...

Math is clearly not your strong-suit. That could only ever work for 50% of the players. The other 50% would be getting a FAVORABLE matchup every time. Seriously - do you whiners even your conspiracy theories 2 seconds of actual thought?

Quote from Meiikan >>

If you avent identified the algorythm of match making yet and figured out it is rigged, make a few experiments and you will soon relalize that:
The system of match making is definitely rigged: it identifies cards in your deck and try to match you with an unfavorable match up. And if you are about to trash talk me in a comment stating that I don't know what i am talking about, first you don't know me, you don't know what I am doing for a living, and don't bother asking. I won't answer. 

I think your idea is great. But sadly I think it is too late for this. If they would implement such a mode now, the outcry of people who dusted their Wild collection to stay competitive in Standard would be huge. It also contradicts to make the game more accessible to new people by rotating out the old cards. So this mode would be only viable for long time players.  And lets be honest: they allready got us. From a business point of view, it's better to add a new mode to get 2 more new Players than to keep 1 old player. If we would fix Wild up just like you suggested (what I would love), it would become a really cool mode, maybe the best mode. But the best mode should be more accessible than a mode where you need new cards (old ones for us) every month.

I think you haven't played wild at all. Where everything is imbalanced nothing is.

I eat Highlander priests there for breakfast with Zoolock and Recruit Paladin.

I think you have to be insane to play this RNG fiesta professionally. Pick a better game where skill matters more.

Why is CoC and CR popular on mobile? Because you can actually play it f2p and kinda manage to get up high every day. Meanwhile, Hearthstone involves a year of grind and still you don‘t really manage to get up since you have to „netdeck in order to get up“. They should make it possible to get 5 packs a day easy by playing and revisit the pricing structure because I left Hearthstone literally for CoC! (Just tune in from time to time but don‘t play it since 6 months)

I got fatigued the hell out of HearthStone for a very simple reason:
   Packs are gambling. By now, after all the recent controversy with EA, I believe even the most hardcore blizz fanboys can't deny it with a straight face. The money/time I spend does not buy me anything but a chance to get something. Most of the times I have to DE something I WANT just to craft something else I want a bit more. The main arguement when it comes to this statement is "just grind and you'll get there." It's false. First of all, any functioning human being is too busy to grind HS for a deck like Razakus or any t1 deck. Second of all, grinding is the most horrible part of video games and it drives you into hating the game. When I play I wanna take a break from work, not work on a second job called HearthStone. That being said, grinding doesn't guarantee anything because, as I said, it's all gambling. Ever since they launched KOTFT, I opened three legendaries only, even though I've been doing most of the daily quests etc. 

Only solution I can see in saving HearthStone is this: 

Stop the packs, stop being so ridiculously greedy and make cards individually purchasable with reasonable prices. Instead of trying for months to build a deck I may like, only growing my frustration, I could go and buy the cards I like straight away and play it. It would also save the meta from being the 4-5 deck borefest because it would be very easy for people to play the decks they want, instead of focusing all their efforts in building one or two decks that are good. I wanna try hundreds of meme decks but god forbid I ever set my eyes on collecting them. I'd either go broke or insane. Sure, the greedy sharks at blizzard wont make AS MUCH as they do now out of exploiting their gambling system but, the individual card market would be very welcoming to new buyers, people may not need to spend as much but way more people would actually spend money, so it could break even. Also, your customers would be happy because they would be getting what they want, instead of feeling scammed.

This is literally the only change that can ever make me respect HearthStone as a game and its developers. If only people weren't so close minded, it would be implemented easily. I really admired EA's playerbase for their righteous uprising. It saddens me to see that Blizzard's playerbase has always been docile and accepting no matter what. Whenever someone speaks up for the interest of the consumers, the players themselves raise pitchforks, as if blizzard is some short of religion that can do no wrong. It's ridiculous.

Anyways, this is my opinion and why im done with HS.

Very sadly even when they lose half they're Player base they don't going change anything as long they earn MORE money the way they do. When i look my friendlist with players i added over the last 8 month not even 50% is active in Hearthstone anymore.

When I saw that you couldn't trade cards, that you could only mill duplicates for a pathetic fraction of their crafting cost I knew the game was a scam for paid customers.

The age old argument that trading cards aren't gambling because you always get something of value is predicated on you being able to turn the card in your hand into money if necessary through selling it to others.

That doesn't happen with online CCGs.  You can only exchange them for more "house money" - further making it gambling because the value of getting a card you don't own and getting one you do is so stark, and the pack values so disparate.

This concept makes people uncomfortable.  I've been gambling this whole time?  Yes.  Yes you have.  You've been gambling for decades since you bought Magic and Pokemon cards too.  I'm so sorry.

This is an ONLINE CCG. They have the opportunity to do things differently. Thinking that because that's how someone else does it a certain way means that's how it will always be for all time is beyond stupid. 

A direct comparison to physical CCG is beyond stupid. I accept that CCGs are a form of gambling. That's not what HS has though. The main difference you seem to forget is that real gambling has a pay-off if you "win". You open a rare card, it has real money value that can exceed the cost of the pack you paid for. There is NO equivalent in HS. There's no sense of "winning" or hitting the "jackpot". Even if you opened 5 golden legendaries in one pack it will mean nothing in the end because you will never get anything out of that. If you're spending money on packs you will never get more than you put in.

 Gambling, you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

They will be back when control hunter is tier 1.

I am not surprised people don't want to go through the slog of being a hearthstone professional. Its a time consuming, high risk low reward activity where you can easy put 40+ hours a week into the game and never see a penny out of it. Only the very top of the elite will ever see as much money as they would have made flipping burgers in a mcjob.
