i mean is there more to say?
Massive lack of interest from actual human players.
I liked it : (
RIP HandLock
Bots happened and Blizzard though deleting Classic mode would somehow kill the bots. They were very wrong.
Why is there no classic mode?
They removed it, duh.
By the way, breaking news : Naxx has been released.
With that saidâŚ
Itâs the only good mode?
Well, it was one of, yes.
Well, there have been plenty of topics and discussions, for example: Introducing Hearthstoneâs New Mode: Twist! - #35 by SparkyElf-2852.
Nope. Thatâs what some forum geniuses, who were thinking that they were thinking (surely they were capable of it), were thinking , but yes:
As for the actual reason for the Classic mode, sadly, being discontinued, Iâm gonna leave a link to this intevriew with the developers:

In particular:
Sadly, Hearthstone has decided to get rid of Classic and replace it with Twist.
Hearthstone is doing this for two major reasons. First, like the Mercenaries mode Hearthstone introduced in the same patch, Classic simply isnât popular anymore. âUltimately, Classic is a static format. No new cards are added to it, the meta doesnât change, and there are no new balance adjustments,â London said, âbecause of the static nature to it, engagement waned over time.â Though it had an initial spike in popularity, interest dropped quickly.
The second reason is that, with many cards being updated for modern Hearthstone, some cards act differently in Classic. London said, "One of our commitments for Twist is that weâre hoping there will only be one version of each card across all the formats.â Now that Classic is gone, players wonât have to memorize two copies of certain cards.
That bit about âthe same patchâ (as Mercs) by the author of the article is a bit weird, but otherwise, thatâs apparently it.
