The Year of the Raven Soars Ahead

    The announcement mentions that for the hall of fame cards, "You’ll be granted Arcane Dust as if you had disenchanted them". Does this mean that you only get 440 dust for all of these cards instead of full value like last year? That's pretty disappointing if that's the case.

    My bad - same as last year, you get the crafting value for up to 2 copies.

    You get the full dust value like last time. I agree it isn't super clear/accurate.

    So far it's local only, though. Will probably be a good long while before we get online tournaments. But still, great news!

    You can invite friends or send out a code for anyone to join your tournament, local or otherwise.

    TL;DR

    • Next Standard Rotation is the Year of the Raven
    • Ice Block + Coldlight Oracle + Molten Giant moved to Wild
    • YOU WILL GET FULL CRAFT VALUE FOR CARDS MOVING TO HOF
    • Molten Giant Unnerfed (cost 20)
    • Some quest updated to award more gold for less time (IE 2 Wins with a class is now only 1 Win and awards 50g)
    • In-Game Tournaments are being worked on
    • Lunara is coming as the new Druid Hero and can be unlocked by getting 10 standard wins in the new standard season
    • Year of the Raven stream on March 2nd at 11:00 AM PT

    Sorry guys, that phrasing was my fault: you DO get full value for Hall of Fame cards. It's fixed in the blog now, and apologies for any confusion.

    did they actually announce tournament mode, is it happening

    It's not tournament mode, no. It's a baby step in that direction though, and it should be really cool for friendly tournaments and Fireside Gatherings.

    If you want to know more about how it's going to work, drop by the blog and ask your questions in the comments there. Ben and Yong will be answering questions during the livestream on March 2nd at 11:00 am PST.
