Celebrating the Game's WoW Classic-like Update

    A new round of upcoming changes to Hearthstone is being well-received by
    the game's community, specifically the announcement of a new "Classic
    Format" that lets players experience Hearthstone as it was when it
    launched in 2014.To get more news about [url=https://www.lootwowgold.com/news/where-is-the-best-place-to-buy-wow-gold.html]fast wow gold[/url], you can visit lootwowgold official website.

    The newly added Classic Format uses only the original 240 cards that
    existed in Hearthstone at the game's launch, and what's more, any
    changes to those cards that have happened since their initial release
    have been reverted. That means, for instance, that the Leeroy Jenkins
    card only costs four mana now instead of five, Warsong Commander can
    give minions charge, and Holy Smite can target opponents directly
    instead of just being able to hit minions. Numerous other cards are
    being reverted in different ways to their original forms, including
    cards like Leper Gnome, Fiery War Axe, Hex, Innervate, Ironbeak Owl,
    Mana Wyrm, and Knife Juggler -- all once-staples of decks that have been
    changed over the years.



    Classic Format appears to be following in the footsteps of World of
    Warcraft: Classic, which launched in 2019 as a way for players to enjoy
    World of Warcraft in its original form and has since received regular
    content updates in the order the original game saw, maintaining an
    active player community alongside the retail version of the
    game.Alongside existing players who are excited for the new format, some
    discussion also revolves around the new format's potential to draw in
    players, both veterans who may have lapsed over the years as well as new
    players. To the latter point, several note that Hearthstone has become
    increasingly complex and expensive over the years with its many modes
    and the need to constantly catch up with new expansions. Classic decks
    can often be cheaper to make, and many of their components are available
    to players for free by virtue of being a part of the class sets players
    can earn by leveling up characters through play.

    Classic Format isn't the only update to Hearthstone Blizzard
    announced. In another celebrated change, it's increasing the total
    number of slots for saved decks players can have from 18 to 27. And as
    it nears the release of a new expansion, Hearthstone is shaking up all
    its formats by introducing a new Core Set of cards that will be free for
    all players.



    The Core Set consists of 235 cards -- including returning cards from
    previous sets, reimagined cards, and 29 brand new cards -- that can be
    earned by leveling up each Class in Hearthstone. Core Set cards will be
    updated and rotated in and out on an annual basis. Meanwhile, Blizzard
    is moving all its old Basic and Classic cards that aren't staying with
    the Core Set into its existing anything-goes Wild Format under a new
    name: the Legacy Set.
