New mode: Classic Mode

[NeonBlue-1371]

@SuperPanda-11742

I propose an idea for a new mode, Classic Mode. Classic mode would bring you back to the very old and funner version of hearthstone, only allowing classic and basic cards to be played. No more extremely broken combos, no more overkill aggro decks, just simple Classic ‘n’ Basic cards. Give your thoughts if you want : D

Note: Classic mode would be a new mode, it would NOT replace any other mode

OMG. The Legends are true. Hearthstone Forums ARE read!

SuperPanda, you alone have changed the course of history for this game. You are a god! Thank you.

I am now reviving this topic.

Reintroduce Classic Mode.
I thought about it. There were only 8 problematic cards in Classic Mode, an assortment of semi-problematic cards in Classic Mode, 3 slightly lacking Classes in Classic Mode, and 1 stupid card in Classic Mode. LET’S BRING BACK CLASSIC MODE!!! (Pplease… you can throw away “Casual Mode” because that mode is the absolute worst and not nearly as Casual as Classic Mode was).

Here is the few changes I propose to bringing back Classic Mode (instead of Casual Mode):

1. Reduce problematic exploitative draw and/or damage cards.
   1a. Northshire Cleric | Whenever a minion in damaged, it restores 1 Health.
   1b. Starving Buzzard | Whenever you summon a Beast, gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only.
   1c. Cult Master | Whenever a friendly minion dies, gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only.
   1d. Gadgetzan Auctioneer | Whenever you cast a spell, gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only.
   1e. Jaraxxus (because of The Coin and Harrison Jones) | [10 Mana] 4/4 Bloodfury.
   1f. Archmage Antonidas (because of The Coin) | Whenever you cast a Class spell, add a ‘Fireball’ spell to your hand.
   1g. Velen | Battlecry: Draw a damage spell and upgrade your starting Hero Power.
   1h. Edwin Vancleef | 3 Attack, 3 Health. Combo: Gain +1/+1 for each card played earlier this turn.

2. Reduce the assortment of semi-problematic exploitative draw and/or damage cards.
   2a. Flare | All minions lose Stealth. Destroy an enemy Secret. Draw a card.
   2b. Eaglehorn Bow | Whenever a Secret is revealed, gain +1 Attack.
   2c. Scavenging Hyena | 2 Attack, 3 Health. Whenever a friendly Beast dies, gain +1/+1.
   2d. Wild Growth (with no 0-Cost spell)| Choose One - Gain an empty Mana Crystal; or Gain 4 Mana Crystals this turn only.
   2e. Nourish | Gain 2 empty Mana Crystals; or Draw 3 cards.
   2f. Mana Wyrm (because The Coin) | Whenever you cast a class spell, gain +1 Attack.
   2g. Ice Lance (because of Alexstrasza) | Freeze a character. If it was already Frozen, deal 3 damage instead.
   2h. Equality (because of Wild Pyromancer) | Silence a minion and change its Health to 1.
   2i. Divine Favor | Draw cards until you have 4 cards in hand.
   2j. Sword of Justice | [4 Mana] 3 Attack, 3 Durability. After you summon a minion, give it +2/+2 and this loses 1 Durability.
   2k. Holy Wrath (because of Molten Giant) | Draw a card and deal damage equal to your highest Cost card in hand, up to 10.
   2l. Tirion Fordring | 7 Attack, 7 Health. Divine Shield, Taunt, Deathrattle: Equip a 4/2 Ashbringer.
   2m. Inner Fire (because of Divine Spirit) | Change a minion’s Attack to be equal to its Health, up to 10.
   2n. Auchenai Soulpriest (because of Circle of Healing) | Battlecry: Your next Hero Power deals damage instead.
   2o. Cold Blood | Give a minion +2 Attack. Combo: +3 Attack instead.
   2p. Blade Fury (because of Deadly Poison) | Destroy your weapon and deal its damage to all enemies, up to 3.
   2q. Windfury (because of Leeroy Jenkins) | [4 Mana] Give a minion Windfury and +5 Health.
   2r. Flametongue Totem | [3 Mana] Friendly non-Totem characters have +2 Attack.
   2s. Power Overwhelming | [2 Mana] Give a friendly minion +4/+4 until it takes damage. Then, it dies. Horribly.
   2t. Grommash Hellscream | [7 Mana] Charge, Enrage: +4 Attack.
   2u. Hungry Crab | 1 Attack, 3 Health. Whenever the opponent summons a Murloc, gain +1 Attack.
   2v. Lorewalker Cho | 0 Attack, 5 Health. Taunt. Whenever a player casts a spell, Cho becomes enlightened (gains Divine Shield).
   2w. Raging Worgen (because of Charge) | Enrage: Rush and +1 Attack
   2x. Twilight Drake (because of Warock’s Life Tap) | 4 Attack, 3 Health. Battlecry: Gain +1 Health for each other card in your hand.
   2y. Doomhammer (because of Harrison Jones) | 3 Attack, 5 Durability. Windfury, Overload: (2)

3. Give to the 3 slightly lacking Classes.
   3a. Paladin gets a good all-around removal option (Equality).
   Equality (because of Wild Pyromancer) | Silence a minion and change its Health to 1.
   3b. Hunter gets good all-around removal option (Deadly Shot).
   Deadly Shot | [4 Mana] Destroy the enemy minion with the highest combined (current) Attack and Health.
   3c. Priest gets a good all-around removal option (Mind Control).
   Mind Control | [7 Mana] Take control of an enemy minion. If it didn’t Attack, Silence it first.

4. Fix the 1 stupid card.
   Deathwing | Battlecry: Destroy a minion. Deathrattle: Discard 2 cards.

Edit: Also Force of Nature | Summon three 2/2 Treants, one with Charge, one with Rush, and one with Taunt.
Edit 2: Also Battle Rage| Draw a card for each damaged friendly character, up to 2.
Edit 3: Counterspell | Secret: When your opponent casts a Class spell, Counter it.
