How active is Wild in Hearthstone these days, anyhow? I stopped playing towards the end of Old Gods but at least when it was new I always had the sense that Wild was kind of a dead throwaway mode that almost nobody cared about. I've been playing Shadowverse for about a month now and one of the big things that immediately struck me is that the Unlimited format is actually a big part of the game with lots of players and even events of its own. I figure things must have changed for HS since I quit since the card offerings of the two formats are way more different now than when I stopped.

It's....okay. The mode is decently populated and there was an in-game event promoting it about a month before rotation. There was one set of nerfs targeted at Wild, but Blizzard is just at slow as balancing it as they are Standard. And there are not really any major tournaments. There's been one problem deck (Giantslock) that's needed adjustments since two expansions ago, but apart from that, Wild and Standard are having the same set of problems right now for the same reasons (Warlock and Paladin).

It's a lot more popular now than it used to be, but it still is holding on to its reputation as a dumpster just because certain cards and decks tilt HS players off the face of the planet and they never want to see them again.
