News

Patch 4.2 is live

Pre-orders are live in the US

Lady Liadrin can now be unlocked

This is an achievement that you get when you level a ‘new’ character to level 20 in WoW.

Can be done on a trial account as long as it’s the same account as your Hearthstone account.

Does not come with a cardback. New hero with new emotes

GvG packs will soon be unavailable for purchase

3 new card backs added – C’Thun, Hogger (obtained at end of March for rank 20 or higher) and Overwatch (obtained by pre-ordering Overwatch)

New shop UI screen

New Tavern Brawl chalkboards discovered during data mining

New Tavern Brawl cards added (lots of them)

Collection Manager updates

Deck Recipes added to the game – When crafting a new deck, you can choose one of 3 prebuilt decks or build a custom deck. 3 decks per class.

Deck building – Suggest a card is much improved

Right clicking on cards reveals a new improved display

Can now search for cards using ‘Attack, Health, Cost, Golden’ and more.

Deck Slot changes – Here we go…

New Players – Rather than starting with 9 slots, new players unlock a basic class slot for each Hero they’ve unlocked. They can be edited but each is dedicated to a specific hero. Once you unlock all 9 Heros, you will get nine extra deck slots and you can now delete and replace the original basic decks.

Veteran Players – Slots are likely unlocked already. Open collection manager and you should see 9 new ‘basic decks’. You can delete these to open up 9 new slots. You can scroll through the list using the slider.

When selecting your deck to play, there are new arrows to page between the two pages. They can be used for casual, ranked, friendly challenges and adventures.

Whispers of the Old Gods – Revealed

Comes out late April/Early May. My guess is after the first weekend because of Dreamhack

134 new collectable cards – available through card packs

The first pack you open from the expansion will give you C’Thun

Promo period – everyone who logs in gets 3 free packs from the expansion

Standard and Wild formats launch with expansion

When launched, GvG and Naxx will no longer be available and can’t be used in Standard format.

All new cards will be available in Arena when the expansion launches (except for C’Thun and the cards that interact with him. Those are excluded from the Arena)

Pre-order 50 packs for $49.99 USD on March 14th. Includes exclusive card back.

Hello again LOTI.  Thanks for answering my questions last week.  

My question for the week is: we know that blizzard is planning on changing 10-12 cards at least.  I know they are looking at Big Game Hunter and most likely Savage Roar.  I hear some people talking about force of nature, but I think by fixing savage roar, force of nature isn’t really that powerful.  What other cards do you want or think are going to be changed?
