The Core Set changes every year i believe and everyone can get the new core set for that year, not exactly sure if you can use it in all Ladder Modes though.
You get/Earn it if you have atleast Total 60 levels (combined) across the 10 classes in the Journey ->Profile-> Class Progress - tab
Got to say this Classic Ysera when the game first came out was good and as expansions came out it still saw some play throughout the years but I really don't like this new version and nerfing 3 of the dreams just makes it even worse, I honestly can't see this being a card that will impact and shape this years meta unlike the other new dragons which are pretty damn good.
For 9 mana you get a decent body, 1 mana Sap, 0 mana Power Overwhelming, 3 mana Chaos Nova +1 and two minions. I would say that’s pretty good value.
I mean on T10 that’s some reach on top of the Sap. Sure, you need some hand space and it might be too slow depending on the meta, but what would old Ysera offer in the same spot? There is no immediate impact and that is what the game turned into.
M8, the old Ysera was just a 9 mana "add a laughing sister to your hand" half the time. The only situations it was actually good in were situations where you were even with your opponent already.
This one is a "generate 5 to hand immediately" which is way better. Number 1, it stops people from generating a bunch of bullshit if they RNG Ysera off of evolves or summon spells. Number 2, it actually helps you come back if you run out of resources.
What other card in the game gives you a board clear, single target removal, burst damage, an untargetable minion, and a big minion that can all be played together immediately on the next turn? It is much, much better than old Ysera was, it just fills a different role.
Okay so I agree with both of you in the current Meta Ysera isn't good there is too much removal/disabling options and cards that are a lot better than it even more so given the 9 mana cost. Plus the End of turn effects lost a lot of viability and has very low support.
However you have to agree the new version is just as much a late game card which the current meta rarely see's with the amount of aggro decks about. (Explosive sheep should slow this down a bit though)
My point being if Mid-Late game decks become viable again that marks the return of say Clown Druid and other such decks in those situations what good does spending 9 mana on adding 5 cards for future turns do you vs a board of 8/8 taunts when buffed and 4/4 when not because your wasting a turn to generate them cards but lack mana to play them. (That is why I don't see it as being a staple card in a lot of decks)
If they had given the new version a tiny tweak such as Taunt it would have make a big difference by at least making her a stalling option for the other cards to become useable and work in conjunction with the strongman it would most likely provide you with the time needed for this card to be good.
For clowns to fill your board, it means you had to play 10 mana card previously. Lets say it was anything but Survival of the Fittest. If you have played that 10 mana card, your opponent (probably) had time to play new Ysera, which means he has his boardclear ready for your clowns and will have more mana left for other. Of course you are right about thing that the meta had to slow down enough and Druid not overwhelming it with his 8/8 clowns on turn 6ish
The art of these dragons seems plastic.
It's because we are living more and more in a plastic world now. If you know what I mean.
Agree...not only the plastic world of pollution and micro plastics in the air but of fake people and plastic knights online.

I have old Ysera golden. The new one i will get also golden ?
New one is a different card entirely and you’ll get for free as part of the core set. I believe there will be some sort of progression/achievement system which allows you to get golden core set cards, so that’s how you can get a golden one.
@Pizzacats
Ysera is not a level up card and therefore the new version is also not free. You get her out of classic packs like the old one. They are not removing the classic packs.
That is wrong. The entire core set will be free and new ysera will be part of the core set... not classic set.
That makes no sense... there are no free legendarys besides DH. I think you and a lot of people will be up for a huge disappointment. They spoke about the initial cards (cards like yeti you can use even at level 1 with all classes) and level up rewards (like flamestrike mage gets after a few level). THATS the cards that get changed and you get for free. All cards from the current classic pack will still be through boosters and Ysera is one of them. Not hard to understand. The classic packs would have no point if everything would be for free... just THINK about it...
Dude. Do you know nothing about the core set? THE ENTIRE 200+ CARD CORE SET WILL BE FREE. For one year. Then, the cards will rotate and we won’t have them anymore. If that’s really so hard to understand, go back and read the articles about the core set. Classic packs are not changing, they will give you cards from the LEGACY SET. They are rotating the entire set to wild, classic packs will give you wild cards. Nothing in the classic set is being “replaced”, there will just be new cards. Even wild cards are coming back to the core set, but those wild cards will still remain part of their original set.
So classic packs will be useless? I dont think so... 200 cards are the cards that you have when you start a new account and then the level up reward. NOT the pack cards. Like I said. You and a LOT of other people will be crying when they see what they get. Ysera is NOT part of the free set. They will rename a lot of things. Otherwise the current classic packs would serve no purpose...
Classic packs will be useful only for the CLASSIC FORMAT. That’s why they are adding the format in the first place. The core set will be free 1000000% guaranteed. It came straight from the devs mouths, even at Blizzcon, that the ENTIRE core set would be free. Look up what cards are in the core set. The new ysera is one of them. It’s really not hard to do a google search or look on the play hearthstone site to get info about the core set. How about you read about it instead of assuming things?
