Would you remove the 9 class categories? (along with class card)
Share ideas you might have on what it can be replaced with.

Idea 1:
Remove all class hero and class card
Only 1 common pool to cards to build deck

Idea 2:
(retain the HS class feel)
Remove all class hero and class card
Only 1 common pool to cards to build deck
Intro hero card (0 mana, always at start of hand)
Hero card will have attached hero power, buff, restrictions
(e.g. Mage: heropower deal 1 dmg, all cost cost 1 less, all weapon cost 2 more, etc)
Thus, you are now able to build your unique hero to your preference, battlemage, demonhunter, etc

Definitely not. The class system is one of Hearthstone’s defining traits.

A basic overview of how I would approach a redesign:

  • neutral spells covering a variety of basic actions that any adventurer might take
  • built in hero power synergies and replacements from the start
  • a rotating core set that regularly recycled cards from previous sets
  • more and more powerful minions that could be brought out through some form of ‘ritual’ (like blood of the ancients)
  • a graveyard system
  • built in support for combo elements in the game
  • built in support for hero-buffing cards (e.g. stealth for rogues, auras for paladins, etc.)
