1. DoA announced on the OGN HS Masters stream new exclusive card back
Not sure who DoA is, but they announced the other day that the attendees to a Hearthstone esports event in Busan, South Korea, would be receiving an exclusive currently unreleased card back in addition to 10 TGT card packs. And the card back will be available to spectators during other esports events in the future. http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/974-esports-card-back-new-card-reveal-icehowl-sea
2. According to research firm SuperData, Hearthstone makes $20 million a month
In their recent report on Digital Collectable Card Games, SuperData has said that Hearthstone is now bringing in $20 million a month. In a surprising comparison, DOTA 2, the second most popular MOBA game, is only bringing in $18 million a month. https://www.superdataresearch.com/blog/building-the-arcade-next-gen-market-insight/
3. Blizzard trademarks ‘Compete’
Blizzard has just filed for a trademark on ‘Compete’, an online service that would help you “organize and promote” eSports tournaments and ladders. The trademark also states “to create and customize tournament brackets and ladders, track tournament progress, maintain related statistics and post results.” This appears to be related to TeSPA’s Compete series of tournaments for college students. http://gamasutra.com/view/news/251015/Blizzard_registers_trademark_for_Compete_eSports_service.php
4. The Grand Tournament – The Joust!
5. Reddit calculates how many cards the average person should get with 50 packs
89 unique cards out of the 132 – 93% of commons, 62% of rares, 21% of epics, 14% of legendaries and 1100 dust

6. Hearthstone is opening up an API for developers to use
Developers understand this more than us casual players, but it’s something that should be mentioned. Blizzard announced they are opening up an API connection that would allow developers to connect their application or website to a feed that will help them have more accurate data. This could lead to nice community websites with player profiles data, like seasonal rankings. http://us.battle.net/en/forum/topic/18719271908
Espo Mode
The Great Summoner Competition
We have another constructed deck Brawl this week. Not very New Player friendly, but loads of fun. Troggzor and his lesser costed brethren were a lot of fun in this. Along with Lorewalker Cho and Loatheb to slow the game down a bit.
Getting Better
Blizzard reveals the remaining Grand Tournament cards!
We will talk about the Neutral cards that were revealed this past week.
Updates:
Last week we talked about the new card Astral Communion, which is a 4 mana card that reads “Gain 10 mana crystals. Discard your hand.” This week there was some additional clarification about the card when you already have 10 mana crystals. If you have 10 mana already, you will receive 1 excess mana when you play this card.
