The idea is everyone will be able to pick some stuff up while still entering the giveaway. I didn't want it to be overly restrictive, such as paying the cost of a giveaway entry for a title or header, but we did need to put some kind of price on it
I'm also disappointed, Caro, that we're seeing spell generation here, especially through a Neutral. The bright side though is we don't have any mana cheating so it has that going for it.
It will be very interesting to see how this looks once we've got a full view of the spells that will be available in Forged in the Barrens. For now, I'm just not interested.
Flavor is going to be top-notch though as seen in the card's actual flavor text:
If we hear anything today, it'll be in about 2 hours (Blizzard almost always drops info at 1 PM Eastern on weekdays). I wouldn't be surprised if we'll get a card reveal schedule.
Yeah, it kinda blows my mind tbh. Aside from a few, every card back seems to just get better. This surely is unsustainable and the card back market is going to crash at some point. The great card back design bubble!
Yeah, Twin Slice has been a massive pain in the ass all year and I'm glad to see it shelved. It sucks because its a really sweet idea and the thematics were incredible, but there is such a fine line between god and unplayable with that card it feels like.
You'll now find Core 2021's set guide is under Forged in the Barrens in Expansions.
Year of the Phoenix is still going to kick around for a bit under Expansions. Once we move on to Gryphon, Core 2021 will move to be under that category.
Cards dropdown moved to a mega menu to make it easier to use on desktop - it gets a bit longer on mobile now but it is categorized at least!
Arena menu is now the Modes menu. It's fairly empty right now but we'll add to it! Dedicated portals for BGs, Duels, and Mercs are coming.
Up to Flux if he wants to add new buttons for the text editor for either/both.
Yeah, this is a fun problem to figure out a good solution for. The editor is already packed full of nonsense!
We are likely to put in place a logic change so that the bbcode will prefer the core set over others so we ensure we have the correct card icons showing up. that will make it much easier for people to easily use bbcode with simple card names; That's a start.
Most of the cards are going to stay. They'll change stuff every year but it won't be as crazy as this year.
The cards that are only in the core set cannot be obtained in packs or crafted - but you can craft golden copies. If any of these cards rotate, they'll likely get dumped into the Classic set.
Basically, they're making some of the new DH cards evergreen so they won't rotate when the year is over, and yes, everyone will get those for free.
However.
When you get the cards for free, you still don't own them. For players that haven't crafted them or found them in AOO packs, they won't be able to disenchant any copies and it should look like how Basic cards look today. If you do own them, you'll be able to disenchant them and then keep playing with them through the rental copies.
But, if they decide to remove those cards from the core set at a later date, you won't have them anymore if you disenchanted them since you were using the rental copies so I'll never advise anyone to disenchant their cards.
I have no idea what you're talking about >.>. Definitely didn't have to fix anything, nope, didn't make any mistakes. Never make mistake! <3

I can confirm this is possible, but I wouldn't rely upon it working.
If you win and you've already pre-ordered, you can give the code to a friend or redeem it yourself for another server.
Our events system was responsible for Halloween and Winter last year so it makes use of that =D
I'd love to say everything was built for this since that would be cool, but that isn't the case.
Confirming yes on both counts!

Appreciate the support!
You're right though, there was a problem with video ads and it looks like it happened shortly before BlizzCon =( Thank you for reporting this!
Something about how we don't release patch notes enough. Yup, that's what this line should be. Anyway, onto it!

I should have caught this when editing. I removed the mention of it to prevent any confusion.
Nav update is live.

Rewards aren't up yet - we'll have those once the reveal season fully kicks off!
You can at least start tracking your progress here =)
Nav is getting a large refresh today - stay tuned!
Yeah... let me fix that real quick. Huge oversight to not exclude that :sweat_smile:

It is so great that they actually made speedstone a thing. People have been asking for it for a long time so this is PERFECT.
Now we just need people to rock it on ladder and to show demand for a real mode!
