All Hearthstone card sets 

There are now over 10 years’ worth of card sets in Hearthstone, with no signs of slowing down. Card set rotation was introduced to the game in 2016 to keep the game fresh and easier to pick up for new players. 

Set rotation is used in Standard format, where only cards from the previous two calendar years are eligible for deck building, in addition to the Core set. In contrast, the Wild format has no restrictions on which card sets can be used for deck building. 

There is also the Twist format, which replaced the Classic format in 2023. This mode has a regularly rotating format which includes curated card pools and special rulesets.
