tl;dr: super marketing mtg idea taken by blizzard in a more friendly way: standard mode will be basic + classic cards + the stuff realeased during the year and it will rotate (so u can expect at some point to play ranked without MC or scientists and shit). If you wanna play normally u still can, 2 different ranked modes.

NICE PogChamp

fuckin dumb, just a way to get people to buy new expansions

standard mode is really stupid ...

at first It looked like a more friendly mode for new players but it doesn't make any difference since people will still be able to use new cards against them.

and everyone already have all the cards at 10+ ranks

I agree. I think it is just going to divide the ladder and make things more annoying.

exactly.

my opponent still plays cards even in standard mode BabyRage

Apparently in standard aggro shaman only loses crackle, and belcher, loatheb, and deathlord are out.
