Hearthstone’s Year of the Mammoth: Classic cards going to Wild, and no more Adventures

Sylvanas has no time for Standard games.

Blizzard detailed the next year in its Standard format, the Year of the Mammoth, in a blog post today. It will make cards from older expansions unplayable in the game’s Standard format. But this is just one of the big changes coming to Hearthstone, the leader in the digital card game market with $394.6 million earned in revenue in 2016. Hearthstone’s future will also see no Adventures in 2017 and move some of its most iconic and oldest cards out of Standard.
