One of the changes in Patch 20.0 that weren’t documented by patch notes is… a bit strange at the first glance, but once you look deeper into it, it kind of makes sense.
Right now, instead of every single game mode having its separate “casual” format, there’s a completely separate button for Casual.
The official description for the format you see in the game is actually confusing, as it tells players that “all cards are available”, which might suggest that you can play against decks with literally any cards. But that’s not exactly true. You see – the game will automatically queue you against players who play deck from the same format.
To put it simply, it means that if you create a Classic deck and queue it in Casual, you will only play against other Classic decks. The same goes for Standard or Wild – you can’t fight against players from other formats.
Which means that, ultimately, nothing has changed – just instead of every format having its separate casual queue, there’s only one to simplify everything.
Neat change. Bad description. 😉
I don’t understand the visualization of the rank, i’m legend both standard & wild (better in standard) but it show me, in the left bar bronze 5 of the classic. It’s because i play classic and it show the last used mode?
And the button of play mode always glow only to me?
I’m pretty sure it’s a visual bug, other players are experiencing similar thing.
That was a bit confusing. Thanks for the clarification .
