    As you may have already read in Patrick Sullivan’s article, we feel strongly about improving the Core Constructed format. We want to keep the metagame active for your enjoyment, as well as make the format as accessible as possible so you have more people to play with. The cliff notes version of this change: starting with the release of Aftermath block in October, Core format will include the two most recently released blocks. For Core format at the 2011 World Championship, players can expect to see cards from Worldbreaker, War of the Elements, Twilight of the Dragons and Throne of the Tides (as well as all the special releases in between, like Class Starter Decks, Crafting Redemption cards, and Holiday exclusives from hobby store play). If you want a shortcut, everything with a ‘5’ or ‘6’ stamp at the bottom of the card will be legal.

    2011 World Championship

    Classic format is here to stay, and we’ll be supporting it this year and next in a variety of ways. First, you’ll need a Classic deck in Rotterdam if you want to win your share of the $250,000 World Championship purse. The tournament schedule will go as follows:

    Day 1 (Friday, November 11): 6 rounds of Core Constructed followed by 4 rounds of Classic Constructed

    Day 2 (Saturday, November 12th): 6 rounds of Draft format play. Each draft will be run with 3 booster packs of Throne of the Tides.

    Day 3 (Sunday, November 13th): Top 16 Cut. Players will use their Core Constructed decks from Day 1.

    The World Championship is our highest level of event that we host annually, and we want our 2011 World Championship to showcase our top players’ prowess in a variety of tournament formats. Show us your skills!

    You may notice that there’s now a Top 16 cut. Yes, we’re including another 8 in the Sunday playoff for all events Darkmoon Faire level and higher. We want to give more players the opportunity to show off their talents and participate in the most prestigious playoffs of each World of Warcraft Trading Card Game tournament weekend.

    2011-2012 Upcoming Organized Play Events/Formats

    Darkmoon Faire Poznań (August 25–August 28): This event occurs before the release of Throne of the Tides, and the main event will here will the three-block version of Core.

    PAX Prime (August 26–August 28): We have a full schedule of events for Seattle’s biggest game festival.

    2011 State Championships (September 17–18): This North American program will be Worldbreaker Block Constructed.

    Darkmoon Faire Philadelphia (September 30–October 2): Friday will offer players a first look at the Aftermath Block, during the Throne of the Tides Sneak Preview. The main event this weekend is Worldbreaker Block Constructed. Throughout the weekend, players will be able to part...

    www.wowtcg.com/articles/2011/08/01/core-rotation

    Of all the reasons that TCGs are fun, “always changing” might be at the very top of the list. Every time a new set comes out, it introduces new archetypes or tools for established decks. In the case of rotating formats, such as Core, the departure of old sets means that some influential cards also leave. This can change a format in multiple ways. The most obvious example is decks that hinge on cards that are rotating out; those decks obviously fall by the wayside. Some other results are more subtle. For example, if a block is heavy in powerful AoE (Area of Effect) cards, that block’s rotation might make decks with lots of small allies more effective, even if the new set doesn’t introduce anything especially good for rush decks.

    This is part of the necessity of Core from a game design perspective—if cards never leave a format, it’s extremely likely that the format stagnates. Each new set that comes out represents a smaller fraction of the total card pool than each set that came before it. We are faced with two options in a world where Classic is the only format: either power creep to such a degree that each set invalidates a lot of what was printed in the past, or make sets that are unlikely to impact the format much. Neither option is appealing to you as players or to us.

    None of what I just said should surprise anyone, but I want to frame the context for set development as it relates to competitive Constructed play. While the example I gave about Classic is extreme, it applies to Core to a degree as well. Whenever we make a powerful ally or ability, people are excited for the metagame to be shaken up, to build a new deck, or by whatever else gets them going. However, Powerful Ally X, while fun at first, potentially becomes a card that prevents other, newer cards from entering the Constructed scene. Individual cards or decks are generally enjoyable in small doses or over short periods of time in TCGs, and even in a rotating format, three years is a long time to be staring down the same allies or considering the same oppressive abilities while building new decks.

    When the decision was first made to introduce Core, the number of years that sets would be legal was a contentious topic internally. The main motivating factor for choosing three years was to soften the initial blow of rotation. We expected many players to reactive negatively to the announcement at first, even though we were confidant most people would enjoy Core significantly more than Classic in the long term. By only rotating out Heroes of Azeroth block (which, at that point, had very few cards that impacted the Constructed metagame), we hoped to reduce some of the sting of the announcement. I disagreed with the decision for three years of legality at the time, but I understood the desire to hedge our bets. Even though Core h...
