It might seem a little bit confusing at first.
Hall of Fame rotation happens on March 26, 2020! How to Maximize Your Dust GainĪ rather common question we hear is about maximizing your Dust income from the cards that rotate out. You get Dust only for the most valuable copy – so if you own both regular and Golden version of a card, you will get refunded only for the Golden.
It’s a great deal, because if you still play them in the Wild, you can keep them and get your Dust back, and if you don’t, you can even disenchant them for extra Dust.
When a card rotates to Hall of Fame, players get a full Dust refund for it AND they get to keep their copies.
Anduin is getting some major changes in Basic/Classic sets, and in order to fit the new cards, six of the old ones (some of which are pretty problematic) are rotating out. Year of the Phoenix rotation is kind of unique, because it’s also used as a way to rework Priest class. Since Basic and Classic cards are in Standard forever, there are two ways to deal with them – nerf them or rotate them out to Wild, where they might not be that relevant (since the power level is higher in Wild anyway). Hall of Fame started as a concept of rotating out cards from Evergreen sets that were too strong or problematic. These are sets that will not rotate out of Standard. Here is a full list of sets that will be available in Standard after the rotation: 2020 Sets If you have any guesses or predictions, share them in the comments! However, we still have no clue about Expansion 2 or Expansion 3, and just like every year, Blizzard released this teaser. The Year of the Phoenix is the fifth year of Standard. This time around we already know what the first expansion will be – Ashes of Outland launches on April 7. Hall of Fame rotation, however, happens on March 26 – keep that in mind! Year of the Phoenix Standard Sets Standard Rotation will happen when Ashes of Outland expansion releases, which is April 7, 2020. We’ll be left with Evergreen sets: Classic + Basic, Year of the Dragon (2019) sets: Rise of Shadows, Saviors of Uldum, Descent of Dragons (+Galakrond’s Awakening), as well as Year of the Phoenix (2020) sets: for now only Ashes of Outland (releasing April 7). So to put that in the perspective of upcoming rotation – when the first expansion of Year of the Phoenix (2020) – Ashes of Outland – will be released in April, The Witchwood, Boomsday Project, as well as Rastakhan’s Rumble will be out and only playable in Wild. When the first expansion of 2020 is released, all three sets from 2018 will be out. Thinking that sets rotate one by one is a common misconception. After it releases, three “oldest” sets rotate out at once.
Standard rotation happens with the first expansion of each year. It always consists of Evergreen sets (Basic + Classic), as well as between 4 and 6 latest expansions (up to two years worth of sets). Standard, on the other hand, is a rotating format. Wild is the simple one – you can play every single card ever released there. Hearthstone has two Constructed formats – Wild and Standard. But if you prefer to read about it, it’s very simple.
