As a person who only plays dead formats in mtg, the biggest mistake I felt the community made was trying to get the attention of blizzard. It is way better when the devs are not involved. Since they only care about how to profit from it. i am sad to see this game mode since this is the only format I care about.
this kinda thing sucks - the amount of $ i have spent on classic golden cards as it was the only mode i played was quite a lot. will i get refunded? no. will i invest in blizzard anymore? no
I haven't played anything else since the release of classic mode. the non-rotating format was like a dream for me. I didn't have to invest time to study new cards, nerfs and rotations. I just turned it on and played whatever I wanted. brought a friend here to this format and shared his enthusiasm and love for classic. this is really sad. RIP classic :(
Member berries aside, I just liked Classic because of the limited card pool and lack of Discover coin flip RNG / power creep that makes playing the game feel pointless to me. Yeah zoobots were tedious to grind through but honestly I'd take that any day over the shit show of ladder on Wild or Standard. Both are painfully unfun and it never gets better.
oh wow, I disenchanted my whole collection in order to craft all the classic set golden because I didn't like the new direction and didn't want to give Blizzard any money anymore regardless. Cool to see all that has no more value now. Fucking Blizzard man
It's too bad Hearthstone Classic doesn't exist, it was my favorite mode, but I had to stop playing it because of the bots, it was super annoying to play against them. Instead of solving the problem of the bots, Blizzard creates a new mode, which is "Hearthstone with a Twist", so it is "Taver Brawl", but not per week, but per season.
Well, this is sad. Thank you for the great times we've had and memories we've made on stream, it really was fun. Hearthstone is a really important game for me and the most fun i've had with it was by far in classic. Let's hope it will return someday, same as your stream!
What a great video! Thank you for all you're insight and optomistic words of encouragement. Though Classic will be missed, you've made me excited for the next chapter :D
I liked playing Classic. Maly Rogue is about the only deck I've been able to play for a long time without getting bored and needing to switch to a different deck. Agree that the bots were a huge problem. I initially had to get into top 400 legend just to face a human. I also would have liked a slow introduction of older sets. Hope Twist has some fun formats/seasons. The initial format is not at all appealing to me - it appeases neither of my appetites for reduced power level over Standard/Wild or playing with older cards I liked, and the card pool is too large despite banning neutrals. I was always hoping for a limited format with five or six sets with one rotating out and another coming in each month. Suppose the beauty of Twist is that you can sit out one month and try it the next without truly falling behind.
I just started playing Classic today, and got to rank d5 thinking I'd finally find a human playing the game, and still haven't. That brought me to this video. This is very sad. I regret I didnt play sooner, because it sounds like I missed out on something really fun. All said though, there's only one solution, and that is making a private server for Hearthstone Classic. Then the community can play the game they prefer and develop it how they want. Who cares if it's illegal . . . what are they gonna do? Ban your hearthstone account? No loss.
Can’t we make a petition of some sort? Perhaps spam their support with mad emails? I as many others have disenchanted and crafted so so many golden classic cards cause it is all there’s left of good stuff in HS (Besides BTG) - and although I don’t play as much as I used to it’s nice to return to classic once in a while. Either way thank you Dex for all the good content!
Well, I just booted up hearthstone after a years break excited to play some classic, but didn't find it anywhere ingame.. RIP hearthstone, unistalled :)
Classic got me playing again after like 4-5 years of having 0 interest. I played all my old favourites. Hit legend. Nearly got crystal Ragnaros. But I couldn't keep going. Zoobots ruined it. I was ready to quit again, but decided to try standard. See if I could keep up. Ended up having loads of fun. Except against that Warlock immolate card as a control deck. Jesus, that sucks so bad. Now, Death Knight might be one of my favourite things they've ever added to the game. Hearthstone is officially back in my rotation. Still never gonna give Activision-Blizzard another penny though. RIP Classic. Again.
Man im gonna cry:( this was only fun mode i played and tbf i didnt even noticed any bots iv had just fun and that was it!Wondering what will happen to my collection, hopefully they would atleast give me 1600 for every legendary and i have almost all! If not im wanting refund for all the packs i bought for real money.
HOW THE FK DID I NOT KNOW CLASSIC WAS BACK??? omg i can't believe i missed it, i stopped playing years ago once the game became shit, i would have came back for classic
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the positive message at the end great example of good character in a current world full of disappointment and money grabbing its nice to hear someone spread something positive
i came to the classic party pretty late. wish i had known there's a discord community like this. and yeah, i've stopped playing few weeks after bcs of bots even in diamond and it felt stale for me. funnily enough, the urge to play something less rng directed me to mtg arena.
I played Hearthstone from C'thun launch until they demon hunter. Heard by accident on 2022 that Hearthstone had a classic mode (Yea, i came later to the party) and loved playing it with control paladin. Logged on the game yesterday to find out that the only mode that i played disappeared. Hearthstone Classic had become a companion when i was on the kitchen cooking or doing the dishes and i will miss him.
I had long break from Hearthstone untill the classic mode was released. I spend a lot of time on that mode and I wish I could spend more. Blizzard made terrible mistake in my opinion. Classic mode was the only one which I was playing just for fun. Im dissapointed. We just need hope for better tommorow...
I had a bad feeling ever since Ayala left. Standard was better not only thanks to community, but due to the core principles of the original Hearthstone shining through and through.
i literally have no longer interest in HS since i started in 2014 i was a "3-5 games per week" kind of player so i couldn't afford cards and packs each upate after grand tournament i played even less but i always bought basic cards packs and cards that went into wild i milled and made classic cards it was amazing being able to play classic HS because i had lots of legendaries and epics, for once in that crazy ass pay4win game i felt strong i absolutely will miss the classic and hell no i will not waste my time on anything else in modern HS RIP Classic HS, i hope you will come back :'''''(
It REALLLLY sucks this mode got removed. I was having a lot of fun playing OG hearthstone again and not these new pay to win expansions coming out it feels like every damn few months. Guess it's battlegrounds for life.
lol, I was in the video, I came back that time to get golden rogue nd playin some classic matches... unfortunetly the game is dead rn, the only reason for I kept using to login sometimes was the classic nd basic collections
I'm really optimistic. We don't really know yet how often they gonna rotate the valid expansions in twist but they're constantly teasing there are way more to come and I hope this doesn't only include the announcement of the next mainline expansion (of August). After Classic launched I played it for like a season, so a month. I wasn't really into it bc afterall I like their new ideas however still devoted to the old cards. So, for this reason I'm a wild player. Probably still going to play wild bc it's gonna be refreshing to think about some mad combo or rage about the existence of Big Priest or Secret Mage but still. BUT what I want is to become a Twist mode main. I want to adore it so much and yet, I'm sold. For me this beta season which is going to be from Ashes of Outland to the present is not that exciting but hey it's gonna be without neutrals. So who knows what crazy new deck ideas will be out there. I'm coping for a good Blackrock meta or like a WotOG meta. Last thing: they tweeted that sometimes it's gonna look more like standard, sometimes like wild or classic. But there gonna be completey unique ones, those I'm truly hyped about. Where they can combo like the two mainline mech expansions: GvG and Boomsday Project. Sorry for the long comment :D
Stopped playing in the 2020 events. I never forgot how money hungry blizzard is and I deleted my account already. This game is a scam and they will try to get every single penny and time left of your life. Stop playing hearthstone
Some people are seriously damanding balance changes to a mode, that was created entirely for the purpse to return to one exact patch... What an absolute braindead take. This is why developers, mainly when it comes to competetive strategy games, shouldnt listen to the general player base.

Since they only care about how to profit from it. i am sad to see this game mode since this is the only format I care about.
Yeah, I think online games best competitive it's when the community it self makes it competitive ^^
That cannot happen because Hearthstone player's do not own the physical cards. Blizzard controls everything through the online client.
this kinda thing sucks - the amount of $ i have spent on classic golden cards as it was the only mode i played was quite a lot. will i get refunded? no. will i invest in blizzard anymore? no
I haven't played anything else since the release of classic mode. the non-rotating format was like a dream for me. I didn't have to invest time to study new cards, nerfs and rotations.

Fucking Blizzard man
i am sad this game mode was the only reason i played hearthstone now the game is dead to me
Hearthstone Classic is still available in Tabletop Simulator, if the community is interested in playing it there.
Tabletop Simulator from Steam? I don't see anything hearthstone related in its pictures.
@@JonahTheWhite It's a workshop mod. If you go to the workshop and type in Hearthstone, you see a mod by "Casey," with the Hearthstone Classic icon.
It's too bad Hearthstone Classic doesn't exist, it was my favorite mode, but I had to stop playing it because of the bots, it was super annoying to play against them.
Instead of solving the problem of the bots, Blizzard creates a new mode, which is "Hearthstone with a Twist", so it is "Taver Brawl", but not per week, but per season.
Yep
Wow, yesterday I came back just for classic. Used 4k dust and 800g to craft and buy packs. And now hearing that it will be removed. Damn, bad luck.
Well, this is sad. Thank you for the great times we've had and memories we've made on stream, it really was fun. Hearthstone is a really important game for me and the most fun i've had with it was by far in classic. Let's hope it will return someday, same as your stream!
Well I do plan to do one last send off stream for classic, probably this Saturday, with lots of beer.
What a great video! Thank you for all you're insight and optomistic words of encouragement. Though Classic will be missed, you've made me excited for the next chapter :D

Dex thanks for all the good times in classic hearthstone. I'm truly sad its gone. -Dudewhiplash

Queue in the astronaut behind you with a gun: “It’s been so for a while.”
Well, I just booted up hearthstone after a years break excited to play some classic, but didn't find it anywhere ingame.. RIP hearthstone, unistalled :)
Amazing recap and video, almost brought a tear to the eye 😢
Looking forward to the future, hopefully more Hearthstone / games content to see from you!
was great while it lasted
this is bs! Classic was loved cuz it was balanced imo and better in almost all ways. The reason was it couldn't be monetized.
Classic got me playing again after like 4-5 years of having 0 interest. I played all my old favourites. Hit legend. Nearly got crystal Ragnaros. But I couldn't keep going. Zoobots ruined it. I was ready to quit again, but decided to try standard. See if I could keep up. Ended up having loads of fun. Except against that Warlock immolate card as a control deck. Jesus, that sucks so bad. Now, Death Knight might be one of my favourite things they've ever added to the game. Hearthstone is officially back in my rotation. Still never gonna give Activision-Blizzard another penny though.
RIP Classic. Again.
maybe if they keep the mode on "friendly challenge", that would allow to make tournaments in classic format.
I pray it return some day...
Man im gonna cry:( this was only fun mode i played and tbf i didnt even noticed any bots iv had just fun and that was it!Wondering what will happen to my collection, hopefully they would atleast give me 1600 for every legendary and i have almost all! If not im wanting refund for all the packs i bought for real money.
*Lol's Dominion game mode* : "First time?"
If anyone is looking for legacy formats to play with a community. Yugioh GOAT and Edison formats are growing, jump in the water is warm :)
I have only one question left. How anyone is able to avoid bots?
HOW THE FK DID I NOT KNOW CLASSIC WAS BACK???
omg i can't believe i missed it, i stopped playing years ago once the game became shit, i would have came back for classic
thanks Dex, see you around :)
This is so sad. I’m probably never playing standard again. And it’s nice to revisit classic hearthstone from time to time. This was a mistake.
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the positive message at the end great example of good character in a current world full of disappointment and money grabbing its nice to hear someone spread something positive
Whoa I just missed the classic hearthstone period and I hate the standard/wild meta BS. Everything turns to shit in this world.
i came to the classic party pretty late. wish i had known there's a discord community like this. and yeah, i've stopped playing few weeks after bcs of bots even in diamond and it felt stale for me. funnily enough, the urge to play something less rng directed me to mtg arena.
Me too

Thanks Dex for all your Classic content, I really enjoyed it all 😁
I really don’t like how they retire card sets, I bought so many grand tournament, old gods, blackrock and explorers sh** and I can’t even use them now
I had long break from Hearthstone untill the classic mode was released. I spend a lot of time on that mode and I wish I could spend more.
Blizzard made terrible mistake in my opinion. Classic mode was the only one which I was playing just for fun. Im dissapointed. We just need hope for better tommorow...
I hope everyone boycotts hearthstone to bring back classic and its cards, even if you dont play the mode this is a terrible precedent
Very positive video. Thanks for making it. I agree with your whole video
I had a bad feeling ever since Ayala left.
Standard was better not only thanks to community, but due to the core principles of the original Hearthstone shining through and through.
Thanks for everything Dex!
Damn. I came back only to play classic, but realized it was removed, so I just uninstalled hearthstone lol.
i literally have no longer interest in HS
since i started in 2014 i was a "3-5 games per week" kind of player so i couldn't afford cards and packs each upate
after grand tournament i played even less but i always bought basic cards packs and cards that went into wild i milled and made classic cards
it was amazing being able to play classic HS because i had lots of legendaries and epics, for once in that crazy ass pay4win game i felt strong
i absolutely will miss the classic and hell no i will not waste my time on anything else in modern HS
RIP Classic HS, i hope you will come back :'''''(

Old blizzard is dead. You can google that topic. Few good videos on it. All the OGs have left. Pure $$$ now.
Literally downloaded hearthstone again to play classic today and it was gone :( I hit alt f4 so quick
Anyway i cant wait for shudderwock to be added in twist
Thanks for video and all that you did for the community Dex.

Sorry for the long comment :D
Well, I was wery happy to play CThun Warrior in september's twist. And wery surprised to see WILD expansion pack.
Twist = mercenaries.
2 the worst modes ever.
Feels bad man
I loved classic, only mode i played and stopped playing after they canceled it.
You really janked this video. Well done!
Stopped playing in the 2020 events. I never forgot how money hungry blizzard is and I deleted my account already. This game is a scam and they will try to get every single penny and time left of your life. Stop playing hearthstone
Just reinstalled HS all hyped up to play some classic decks... just to find out they got rid of it. Insta uninstall
Trump would have never let this happen, Make Hearthstone Great Again!
Trump is going to review Hearthstone cards his first day in the white house
I just want HS to die already, it was so good back in the days, but now its just on life support suffering every day
Ofcs and it have been in 2 years now
How do you think blizzard found the space, to make a new mode? :D
This didn't age well.
I am here because I missed classic
Well.. time to delete hearthstone and change game. 😁👍
just charge dude
Some people are seriously damanding balance changes to a mode, that was created entirely for the purpse to return to one exact patch... What an absolute braindead take.
This is why developers, mainly when it comes to competetive strategy games, shouldnt listen to the general player base.
you are wrong. with no such mode, such community will go away.
Ha u mean bot stone is dead oooo
I was bored by classic Hearthstone in the year 2013.
So, yeah. Who cares... Give me new stuff!
hearthstone is fking dead dead!
