I’m sure there were many cards being switched from the core set. I’ve read about it, but I don’t get the process fully. What I noticed is that Corpse Bride and Soulstealer disappeared from my decks and they were not in my collection either.
So can Blizzard just remove your cards and force you to craft them at a whim? How do you know if you actually own a card or if it’s “borrowed”?
You look at the released list of core set cards leaving and being added? Pretty sure Blizzard dropped the list last week
Okay, the cards I mentioned were among the ones leaving to core. So they were just temporary cards while the expansion was active? I’m pretty sure I crafted Soulstealer and it cost 400 dust.
I’m pretty sure you didn’t, because until yesterday it was a Core card, impossible to craft.
They were never “your” cards. You did not own them. You did not craft them. You did not open them from a pack. They were ON LOAN from Blizzard.
If you look closely at a Core card, it will have the current standard year symbol as a “watermark” in the text area.
False.
It came from the “March of the Lich King” expansion and has been craftable since its debut
I think he meant impossible to craft while it’s a core card, which is true
My apologies. When I looked up the wiki for this card, I did not realize that I was looking at only the Core version wiki entry, and that other versions existed.
If the card is gone from your collection entirely, then it must mean that you only had the Core version, so you didn’t craft it.
When you were looking for your card, did you set the filter to wild? Because after leaving the core set, the card (if you have it) can be found in the wild set “march of the lich king.”
typical blizzard, what do you expect?
But still, how to tell if you owned this card before it became a core card?, if you did own it is there should be a duplicate with the original expansion logo on it?
Search your collection for that card’s name, the same way you would check for owning any card.
It doesn’t transform into the core version, if that’s what you mean. The original will still be in your collection, and the Core version is a new separate card. You have both.
First go into your collection.
Enable wild cards to be seen.
Type the name of the card in the search bar.
If nothing shows, click on the crafting button.
Thank me if this helps.
Corpse Bride is not a core set card it came with Path of Arhas. I have also experienced this in the past where cards that were once in my collection that were not part of the core set were removed from my collection.
Taedus:
Any card that is a core card that rotates out of the core set that was not included in an expansion will need to be crafted when it moves to legacy, if you did not own a copy of it previously.
However, Blizzard should try to explain the process more clearly so players are not left confused and wondering what happened.
Greetings,
In response to:
I must say that I totally agree with that statement.^^ It wasn’t clear at the moment of obtaining “core cards” that they were temporary. I think this is one thing that Blizzard could improve if no official posts were made clearly stating that core cards would be removed from one’s collection in the future! Thanks to Blizzard for the loan I guess.

That shouldn’t ever happen.
Can you give some specific examples?
I’ve had this happen to me as well, I’ve had cards go missing when core changed. I uses to collect gold cards, until i started to notice them vanishing… Whenever a core set would change, it would take away my pulled gold cards that were switched in and out of core. This only ever happened with cards that didnt original start in the core set, but were moved there from other expansions, and then later again removed from core.
By “pulled”, do you mean you got them from a pack? If so, then no, they were not “taken away”. They are still in your collection.
If you lost cards due to core set rotation, then they were core cards. You did not own them. You did not get them from a pack. You did not craft them. They were on loan from Blizzard, and they decided to take back that loan.
