While Blizzard may have been late to tweet about it yesterday, deciding at 4 PM Eastern to announce to the world that yesterday, April 15, was the first Nozdormu Day, this still remains an important date to remember!
When the Core set got integrated into Hearthstone, it came along with a reimagined version of Nozdormu that brought us a real version of speedstone, or blitz as some like to call it. By including a Nozdormu the Eternal into your deck and your opponent doing the same, every single turn that game is only going to be 15 seconds long. This is a very hard goal to pull off though because no one in their right mind is going to run this card when they want to climb on up - that's what Nozdormu Day changes.
So, every 15th of the month, consider having some fun in Hearthstone and swapping out a card in your favourite deck with Nozdormu so you can partake in the fun.
We'll be sure to remind you about it in advance instead of letting you know last minute so we can grow our chances of some super fast matches.
I'm glad Blizzard decided to make this official. When we originally saw Nozdormu added to the game, I had been thinking it would be great if the community gave the card a certain day each month to give us a higher chance of having fun with it. The 15th makes plenty of sense to keep it consistent, though I do think a good addition to this new celebration would be that when it lands on a weekend, both Saturday and Sunday of that weekend should be Nozdormu Weekend.
Quote From No Author Specified PSA: It is Nozdormu Day!
Starting TODAY, the 15th of every month will be henceforth known as Nozdormu Day! If you love Nozdormu, put him in your deck for some high-speed games!
Why is the 15th of Each Month Nozdormu Day?
The 15th of each month is Nozdormu Day because it is a reference to the 15 seconds that each player has to take their turn when Nozdormu is present in both decks.
How Do I Participate in Nozdormu Day?
All you need to do is put Nozdormu the Eternal in your deck. The normal 30 card limit applies so you're going to have to remove something for him, but that's part of the fun!
Comments
If you are active on twitter you could suggest it to the devs, e.g. in Iksar's AMAs. It seems like exactly the sort of thing that would boost the sense of community if there was a special quest for 500-1000XP for playing 3 games with Noz in your deck.
Well I wish I knew this yesterday
Yeah, I wish we knew this not at 4 PM. I facepalmed hard when the tweet went out. Half of Europe at that point was probably ready to jump into bed for the night, not to mention the entire other parts of the world that play Hearthstone.
You don't need to craft Nozdormu, he's free!
Why would I craft the card which is in core set?
