Year of Mammoth Changes:
Some Classic Cards Moving to Wild, Three Expansions this Year, New Rogue Hero - Standard Year of the Mammoth
Wow. Some big things are coming with the new Standard rotation into Hearthstone.
The Rundown
- Blackrock Mountain, The Grand Tournament, and The League of Explorers all rotate out of Standard with The Year of the Mammoth.
- Six cards from Classic are being moved to Wild-only.
- You cannot dust these cards, but if you own them, Blizzard is going to just give you Arcane Dust.
- We will not see an Adventure this year. Instead, we will see three ~130 card expansions, and the second and third expansions will contain a small playable story like an adventure!
- A Heroic Tavern Brawl will be going live sometime after the first expansion releases, using the Wild format.
- Blizzard is going to work on doing more Wild tournaments.
- Daily Login Rewards! At least for the start of the new rotation. Includes Dust, Gold, Expansion Packs, and "a few other surprises".
- Rogues are getting Maeiv Shadowsong, a new hero! Win 10 games of Hearthstone in Standard when the rotation occurs and she's all yours.
