Notable announcements[]

A sneak peek at the content released during the Year of the Raven.
The third Standard year started with the release of the first expansion of 2018, The Witchwood. The beginning of 2018 saw the Whispers of the Old Gods, One Night in Karazhan and Mean Streets of Gadgetzan sets moved to Wild format. Additionally, three cards (Ice Block, Molten Giant and Coldlight Oracle) from the Classic rotated to the Hall of Fame and for the first time ever, a nerf was reverted.
Like last year, the start of the new year brought special events, such as the release of Lunara hero.
To celebrate the start of the Year of the Raven, starting March 26, 2018 until April 9, 2018, all quests rewarded a random card pack from Journey to Un'Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, Kobolds and Catacombs, or from the new expansion, The Witchwood.
Hall of Fame[]
When the Year of the Raven began, Ice Block, Coldlight Oracle, and Molten Giant were moved to the Hall of Fame set. The latter-most had its nerf reversed, setting the card's mana cost back to 20 mana, at the same time as being moved to the Hall of Fame.[2]
Later in the year, Blizzard announced that the mage, rogue, and warlock classes would receive 4 all-new cards in the Classic set — Icicle, Tome of Intellect, Call of the Void, and Pilfer — in order to make up for the class cards that had previously been moved into the Hall of Fame set.[3]
