The casual mode that you would once previously select when choosing between Standard and Wild is no more! Don't worry though, because nothing has actually changed which some other sites may lead you to believe - you aren't fighting classic decks with wild cards - it's just a simplification of the UI!
If you want to play an unranked game (casual), you will now change your mode as you previously would for Standard and Wild and select Casual instead. Here's how it works:
- Click the play button.
- Click on the mode selector.
- Select Casual.
- Choose a deck to play from your whole collection.
After completing these steps and hitting the play button, you will be queued into a casual format for the format your deck was built for. Choose a wild deck to play with? You'll encounter other wild players!
Nothing has changed, it's just a simplification of the interface!

I do not like this.
It's supposed to be a simplification but they've simplified it so much that, unless you're in the know and read specifically this article, there is a high likelihood that you probably don't know that casual standard is still a thing and that it's based on your deck's format...
Especially the way they worded it, "All cards are available".
We are 3 comments in and already someone has been downvoted for "being wrong", and someone else has already made an entire thread about this. It's not their fault, this design is horrible and illogical.
If you're playing Casual, how clued-in are you to anything, anyways? I bet Blizzard's data shows that the vast majority of Casual players are also lowercase-c casual players, and really don't pay that much attention to the interface or "which Casual" they're in.
"All cards are available"
Blizzard CV description- level of English, 3/5.
I think it means you can play a Classic Mode deck vs Wild Deck there
That's exactly what this article is supposed to help people understand, that isn't the case.
If you queue with a wild deck, you get a wild deck opponent. Rinse and repeat for Standard and Classic.
Ah you just choose a deck and no need to worry about mode thingy
