What happened to Defile? Card is missing in my collection!

What have happened to defile card? It was moved to Wild I guess, but why I do not own it anymore? I have had 2 copies, now I do not own any - I need to craft it if I want to use it.

you didn’t own it at first , and you get a temporary core version from 24.6 patch with other old DK cards that was playable on wild and standard.
Now the temporary core version are removed , you must own a real version and can only play it on wild.

Thanks! I was not aware of that. Just returned to HS in late October after few years…

My wild decklists are missing cards that I definitely owned. It turns out that the “free” versions were somehow different cards. I still have, for instance, Avalanche and Gnomeferatu, but my decklists that used them show them as missing. I can just replace them with the version I actually have. I wish this wasn’t so complicated.

However, I’m pretty sure I owned Arfus, and he’s no longer in my collection at all. I came back after a long absence, but I’m almost 100% sure I had every KotFT card. I’m also missing Rin The First Disciple, which I recall being in my main Warlock deck. Maybe I’m imagining it, but I recall having both of these cards in my decks and playing them often.

Also, I have Stitched Tracker in a hunter deck, and it shows as “Not Owned” when I actually own two of them. I guess this card got moved to the wild set, but I do actually own it, so at very least the “replace card” text is wrong.

On further inspection, The Lich King card is shown as “Not Yet Playable.” I do own the card and it’s in a wild deck. It’s redded-out in the deck list. I thought maybe this had something to do with unlocking the Arthas prologue, so I completed that and I still can’t put The Lich King in a wild deck.

yeah free version ( Core ) is totally a different card have different background watermark.
When Core cards are avaiable , owned/wild cards are hidden and visible only when the set filter is selected.
So when Core cards rotate out people need to manually replace Core <-> Set cards if they really own them for wild deck.

Core let you play a wild card in standard , if is removed from Core you can only remove it from standard deck.
