So if i understand it correctly the solo adventures will be unobtainable for new players. I do understand that you can't buy them anymore but it also seems that a new player can't play the old adventures. Any reason why /u/CM_Zeriyah , /u/bbrode ?
UI bloat is certainly a factor. I do understand the concern about new players not being able to experience older content, but we also don't want to disappoint players that may acquire an older set and discover that it is not available for Standard play. If it's just a collecting cards concern, the cards from sets that are no longer available for Standard can be crafted with dust.
Questions: Is there going to be two ranked areas? Or just one that you play against someone with a deck that fits the same format as yours? How are deck formats assigned? Do we have a deck pages for standard and another for wild?
How do I summon Ben??
Edit: read through the whole blog plus FAQ and all above questions were answered.

Not at all, you can still utilize all Naxx cards in Wild mode and continue playing exactly as you are now.

There are currently no plans to "re-print" cards. We're open to feedback about that though.

I wish we were that clever.

Oh, right. Duh. I'm super good at life.
Thanks!
