Finally completed my Paladin Murloc, with Murk-Eye... now to get Dr. Balanced

[Kansa]

Well apparently there's going to be big changes soon, not sure how I feel about the old stuff not being purchasable but I really like the formats. It will be nice to see new cards played. 

[IronyOwl]

The differing formats thing was probably inevitable, but I'm not fond of mimicking physical card games in the "sorry we don't print those any more" sense.

-nvm-

Sounds like they want people to craft cards instead of buy them for some reason.

And so the sun sets on the reign of Dr. Boom. Also RIP antikill bot. Actually, holy shit no antikill bot oh god no.

RIP in boombots

If you want any cards you missed out on for Wild play or just to fill out your collection, you’ll be able to craft them using Arcane Dust—even cards from Adventures that were previously un-craftable.

Assuming people don't just play standard instead and all the old cards don't get power creeped to death, there eventually will be more cards you have to craft to have in Wild than there will be available to buy.

[Orange Wizard]

I am perplexed as to why they would do that.

[frostshotgg]

For once their standard excuse of "Newbies will be confused" is actually valid. Nothing would suck more than buying a pack only to see that you can't actually use the cards in it.

[Skyrunner]

Standard format was inevitable.

Standard format was inevitable.

This, yes. What is baffling is the retiring of the older adventures. What if people wanted to do the fights?

[Jopax]

And just as I finally got around to doing Nax :V

[Criptfeind]

Yeah. The adventure thing is. Ridiculously strange. Like, sure, maybe put a big warning over them if you try to buy them when you can't use their cards. But some people actually like the single player aspect of this game...

You know what, I bet it's so they can avoid having a like, 400 dollar buy in to get all the content right away. Avoid dat feeling, and just probably drip feed them in. Classic adventures coming back for a limited time! And all that. Even a great excuse for not having to every put anything on sale.

It also adds an interesting dimension to rotation.  Rather than making you feel bad about eg having bought Naxx when it rotates and becomes much less valuable you instead get to feel good because you were able to get all those cards for Wild at a discount, and even if you're not interested in Wild you get a whole pile of discounted dust.  Similarly the rotation of a large set could be seen as "last chance to pick up these cards for cheap".
