It’ll arrive with the next expansion
In theirannouncement, Blizzard said the Core Set is “intended to provide a modern collection of starting cards to players of all types and make Hearthstone even more approachable for newcomers.”
The Core Set’s due to refresh at the end of every Hearthstone year. When this happens, all the new cards will be popped into your collection automatically.

What happens to all those old Basic and Classic cards? Well, they’ll join Wild in a new Legacy Set. But wait, there’s more.
A new Classic Format is due to launch alongside Hearthstone’s next expansion too, turning back the clock. This will lets you play the game as it was in June 2014, with the cards it had then as they were then - before years of nerfs and balance tweaks.
Classic will function almost identically to Standard and Wild when it comes to rewards and seasons. All of your Classic cards will live in their own section, and will have a unique border so you’ll be able to tell them apart. And as an extra treat, Blizzard are increasing the total number of deck slots from 18 to 27 alongside its release.
