Wild and Standard Modes

Ben Brode in an interview with Shacknews (http://www.shacknews.com/article/93108/hearthstones-ben-brode-on-new-heroes-druid-nerfs-and-why-standard-is-solution-for-now)

“It’s something we could be changing more frequently even, we could experiment with an all Grand Tournament Arena. The way Arena is set up we already mess with the percentages on the new stuff so you actually get to see it in the Arena, since there are so many other cards there.”

BB seemed to indicate that anything is still open to change – even the structure of the formats themselves.

The feel that Hearthstone is different every year, that things are changing and this year won’t be like the last year, that’s what Standard is meant for.

When asked about new heroes, Ben Brode said “I think you’ll hear about new heroes in the not-too-distant future,” Brode said. “We definitely haven’t given up on them, it’s something we think is exciting. We just haven’t made any new ones yet.”

Getting Better

Deck building with Squishiedragon

Deck building is a very complicated subject. For a player who is new to the game or who isn’t having a lot of success, it’s overwhelming. However, to better understand deck building and to be successful at it, there are some core tenets that you must be aware of before you can really tackle it effectively. With that said, I thought it would be a good idea to cover some basic concepts before starting to dig into the actual process of deck building. Because if you don’t understand the core fundamentals, you will have difficulty consistently building good decks. It might seem that we’ve stepped back to the very basic concepts but bear with me.

@PlayHearthstone @bdbrode Will the new players still have the opportunity to enjoy the old Adventures after they cycle out of standard mode?
