We're getting a new round of Classic cards and with that a couple of cards are also being sent to the Hall of Fame and being replaced.
If you want to learn more about class identity and why Blizzard decided to move Vanish and Mind Blast to the Hall of Fame, check out this post from them.
- All the cards have dedicated discussion threads - find links to them below!
- If you want to build new theorycraft decks with the new cards, they're all in our deckbuilder.
Hall of Fame
Two [Hearthstone Card (Basic) Not Found] cards are being sent to the Hall of Fame.
- Vanish is being moved to the Hall of Fame. It is being replaced by a new minion named Plaguebringer.
- Mind Blast is being moved to the Hall of Fame. It is being replaced by a new spell named Radiance.
New Classic Cards
Eight new cards are being added to the Classic set. They will be available for crafting and through card packs.

That's my point. The only playable board clear you have (a soft one because they return to hand and can be played next turn) is leaving Standard.
Save your classic packs so you have a chance to draw the new cards when they are release. It is also good to wait with opening your packs the next time we get leaked information about Heartstone adding new cards to the classic set.
Some of the cards seem a bit strong, but can't really judge them without them fully being in the game. Also, get fucked priests
Hall of Fame rotations mid-year?
So will we get the golden version of the basic cards if we have surpassed the rank to have golden vanish and mind blast
I feel quite alright with this. Even when I loved playing Rogue I would always feel skeazy running double Vanishings.
Good riddance to that card in standard.
Kinda triggered for Priest always getting bad cards till becoming toxic in November every single year.
On the other hand, I'm very excited for all the other cards: I'm sure they'll help at least a couple archetypes to be playable.
I don't like the fact that Blizz just takes cards away from us in Standard and doesn't replace them for free. They could at very least make them have a discounted dust cost to craft. Anyone have a date when these cards are coming?
Any card taken from the Classic set you will have already had a full refund for (and allowed to keep the card) the ones in basic you will get for free
I liked all the cards.
Especially Brightwing because I always wanted a 3-cost Dragon with any effect in my decks and she has a good effect too.
Pls don't say Marsh Drake or Bronze Herald, 1 can't be used in all classes because of his bad effect and 1 is a paladin card which you can't use in all classes.
Also glad to see Whitemane in Hearthstone. now all i want to see in Hs is Durotan. :)
Oh man, I'm so happy that Mind Blast will be purged from standard forever. No more 40-damage blasts out of nowhere, Priests! Mwahaha
Priest being my favourite class, it really, really sucks that it's being guttered so hard when it's already down, but otherwise I'm very glad for the changes they've been making for Hearthstone. I'm glad to see Brightwing enter the game and some of those Classic cards are insane.
I just hope this means the Priest class will be getting something akin to a workable "Shadowform" card in the upcoming expansion.
That Radiance is a complete dud, but at least the other cards are all real cards even if some aren't that good. Plaguebringer is actually excellent, particularly in Arena. Whitemane will probably hit the meta. Kel'Thuzad triggering once was often enough to close out a game. Getting to play it a turn early seems like an excellent trade-off to the persistent effect. And the Infiltrator is good for the meta since it's in standard.
Whitemane lookin like a whole snack though
looks interesting another meta shake up, hopefully they realize these things are good for the game.
So does this affect the 100g reward for completing the classic set? two extra legendaries to get now if so
Farewell Vanish you will not be missed.
your younger sister sap still plagues us, but i guess when a card that nullifies opponents turns AND helps the rogue with its degeneracy i guess vanish is indeed more problematic
Anyone else is been excited for Brightwing?
I love that dragon from Hots
Worry not, my jolly healers: come August, and Priest will receive 38 new resurrect cards. And in September, our dear lords will share us the good news they're keeping an eye on Barnes.
im just a guy waiting for my boy Illidan Stormrage to get buffed
