Duels will be removed in April 2024
As we think about the future of Hearthstone and where the team can best focus their efforts, we’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue support for the Duels Mode. We do not have plans for any further scheduled updates for Duels, and the Mode itself is scheduled to be removed from the Hearthstone client in April 2024.
This change will allow us to shift our resources to where we feel they will have the most impact, including Traditional Hearthstone, Battlegrounds, and more. To that end, Battlegrounds Duos is scheduled for an upcoming Battlegrounds patch, and we’re trying out some Duels Treasures in our next Arena season—more details soon.
We want to thank all our passionate Duels fans for every pile of loot, treasure, and hard-fought victory you’ve collected along the way. It’s been a heroic run, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
duels requires a LOT of maintenance - it's not a sealed pool. we release new cards all the time that impact the balance of the mode, make new buckets, and have to change interactions between old treasures and new cards. mercs is static.

Editor Note
My goal was always to highlight Decks for modes that others might not support as much, and Duels was a big part of it.
We have a pretty big community around Duels here and I’m personally really sad about this News.
Sorry to all the players, hope you’ll enjoy some other formats
On a personal note, I’m unsure how this will impact the future of HsDecks, as Duels is a huge part of our Traffic and, therefore, the revenue generated.
If you want, you can support us on Patreon, I’ll see how this will maybe change stuff
