It s been a week since Hearthstone released its latest addition to Battlegrounds. Who could have guessed that Quilboars would take over the minion-battling game mode in the way that they have? Blizzard had an inkling, which is why the publisher is moving right in for the first major set of nerfs to the new tribe. On Wednesday, Blizzard outlined some of the major changes set to come to Battlegrounds, while also revealing some big changes (both nerfs
and buffs) for some of the cards in Standard/Wild mode.
Fresh off the addition of Quilboars, the following changes are coming to Hearthstone Battlegrounds with Wednesday s 20.2.2 patch, according to the Hearthstone website:
Over the last few weeks, Blizzard has indicated that Hearthstone will fundamentally change starting with the new Standard year. The Basic and Classic sets are going away, heading off to live in Wild. Standard players will now find a brand new base set of cards called the Core set, one that will see new cards rotate in and out on a yearly basis. On Thursday, Blizzard revealed the Core set and now all that s left is to see what s coming in and look at what s going out.
Shacknews has the full list of Core cards listed below, a list taken from the Hearthstone website. We re also going to compare this to the Basic and Classic sets in order to point out which of the old cards are leaving Standard play with the launch of the Year of the Gryphon.
