What happened to standard in Hearthstone? - Small illuminating green neon bubble level placed on monitor stand in dark room

I haven't played Hearthstone in a couple of years and I logged in to play and seems like my whole deck is "wild" now. Am I just screwing up somehow, or has standard changed radically?

I used to play a pretty standard Priest Deck (Northshire Cleric, Lightwarden, Inner Fire, Acolyte of Pain etc), where you try to double your health a few times and then change health to attack. However, that entire strategy just seems to be gone. It looks like ALL of those cards are now wild and only a very small set are standard. Also, looking through the set of standard cards, I don't see very many options for synergy.

Am I just doing something wrong or has standard in Hearthstone changed radically?



Best Answer

Standard is only the last two years of sets. If you want to play standard you are in luck rotation will happen with the release of the new set.

If you want to continue playing with the cards you have the divine favour / inner fire combo is a tier 1.5 deck in wild. You can play that and have reasonable chance at success.

You can also just not care about rank at all play whatever you like on wild ladder and have a hoot.

Nothing quite like having a race between two convoluted wombo combos ending on turn 13 when you clutch draw the 5th piece of your combo for the win.

Dont underestimate the joy that can be had when two bad decks queue into each other.
