What is the difference between standard and wild?
What are the differences between the 2 and what does "all cards can be used" mean?
Best Answer
If you are a new player, all the card packs and adventures you can purchase in the store (or get as tavern brawl or arena rewards), can be played in both Standard and in Wild.
Players who started in 2014 or earlier are likely to have cards that have been "rotated out" of both the store and from being allowed in Standard games. The only way to get these older cards now is to craft them from dust. In addition to all the Standard cards, these older cards are also allowed in Wild games.
Cards in the "Classic" set will always be part of Standard.
In the spring each year, older non-Classic card sets will be retired from Standard, removed from the store, and only allowed in Wild games moving forward. So in Spring 2017, all the cards released in 2015 will be retired. In Spring 2018, all the cards released in 2016 will be retired. Etc.

Is wild or standard better?
Is wild better than standard if I'm a player who doesn't have much dust to drop on new decks? Yes, in most cases, you would need a card or 2 to upgrade your wild deck, compared to standard where with every expansion and frequent nerf, you need much bigger collection.Is Wild harder than standard?
Wild has a higher barrier to entry because the legendarys you need to make a solid deck are split among a bunch of different expansions so opening packs for them is worse then standard.What is wild mode?
Wild format appears in game modes in which players are allowed to play decks without the deck restrictions of Standard format, allowing the use of cards from any card set. Wild format is used when playing in Wild mode, and is used for all adventures and in almost all Tavern Brawls.Can classic cards be used in wild?
Classic packs still contain Classic cards, which will now be usable in the Classic format and in Wild as part of the Legacy Set.[Hearthstone] Play Wild? Or Play Standard?
