So it looks like rouge is going to be throw under the bus again under the cause of "balancing" to help balance out their hold on arena, damn shame because we have no hold on standard at all. Oh well guess I'll learn to love generic Mage deck or super duper mega control warrior soon enough.
"...the idea, of course, is that Basic and Classic sets will remain evergreen and always part of the Standard format. I think that there are some risks there with that because having cards that are always part of the format means that they're kind of counter to the idea of Standard which is that it changes all the time. So this is our first year, we're still trying to figure some stuff out. I think it's possible that we'll either nerf or remove more cards from Classic in the future - I'm not sure what those would be or when we would do that - but if we feel like the Standard format isn't changing as much as we feel like it needs to, we might take some more steps in that way."So is there any point in saving dust to craft Legendaries etc. from Classic? Removing cards from Classic sounds quite drastic, and there are some deck-defining cards in Classic which would need to be replaced in future expansions / adventures if so.Are Blizzard trying to keep Standard 'fresh', or is this more to encourage people to buy / craft new cards rather than relying on Classic ones?
Up to now, every time a card was changed, you got a full refund. So craft away.
