Over the long history of Hearthstone, the game has undergone numerous balance changes whenever the meta felt too stale or some deck\/class was particularly dominant.<\/p>\n

And while during the era of ex-game director Band Brode the team was hesitant to change cards, that philosophy has changed in recent years, and we are seeing almost constant balance updates, with both nerfs and buffs.<\/p>\n

Many iconic Hearthstone cards from the Classic\/Basic sets were nerfed at some point, due to their overwhelming presence in almost any Standard meta, up until Blizzard decided to introduce “Hall of Fame”, a place were Classic\/Basic cards were sent to retirement, due to their huge popularity in Standard. Hall of Fame cards could have been used only in Wild.<\/p>\n

Ancient of Lore was an extremely popular card in the early days of Hearthstone (Picture: Blizzard)<\/span><\/p>\n

Even that solution wasn’t enough and Blizzard finally realised that they need to make some huge changes, and those changes were introduced in a form of Hearthstone’s Core Set.<\/a><\/p>\n

This opens up space not just for more freedom in the design of future cards, but also for some previously nerfed cards to be “unnerfed” and reverted back to their previous state.<\/p>\n

Many of those nerfed cards were once strong, but now even in their original state, they won’t be particularly competitive, so fans are happy to see them back in their full glory.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note that these reverted cards won’t be playable in the Standard format, but only in wild, as they will not be a part of the Core Set.<\/p>\n
