As Caro said, these are not full patch notes despite being so lengthy, merely a blog about the Battlegrounds revamp. The nerfs will still happen with the patch as well, they just decided not to announce them beforehand for some reason.

Since I've done similar threads for numerous events (like last expansion's Shurima event) I'm just gonna continue the tradition. Hopefully someone will find this useful.

Yes, 2 packs for everyone. This is a separate event compared to the weekly GM tournaments. Next week we'll be back to the usual and then it's no packs for those that got them last week.

Quote From VaBeZ

Also, I bookmarked this topic for myself, but may I suggest a pin for it?

Done.

Based on the lore what I've read there's zero connection between Ziggs and Shurima, he's heavily associated with Zaun. However, there's another yordle, Rumble, who has a story where he's in Shurima so I really don't know why they put Ziggs there instead. Maybe there are too many dual region yordles in P&Z already with Heimerdinger and Teemo.

I got my first pack some hours ago (haven't yet logged in to check for second) so it seems to be working for me (EU server).

EDIT: Got my second pack too.

I played some Lurk at the beginning of the set and yes I didn't find it as fun as I expected. There were multiple occasions where I felt I need to hit the early Lurks in order to have any chance. I was also rather gifted at drawing Pyke as a unit and not the spell which is crazy good.

Then again when the deck hits the dream curve it's almost unstoppable, so making it more reliable could be problematic as well.

All 8 cards will give full refunds, the original blog is quite clear about it.

Can relate. As an achievement enthusiast I grinded the Warlock Questline one among the first so that if it gets nerfed I can swap it to another legendary I'll need for achievements.

From purely gameplay perspective at least something from Warlock and Battleground Battlemaster should see changes if you ask me. The sole existence of the latter is rather baffling to me, especially since Apotheosis got nerfed because "Currently, it can feel like you must remove every Priest minion because of the threat Apotheosis poses."

Design Lead Alexz Lee shared a lot of answers on the topic on Twitter, here are the important points (reformatted):

Quote From Alexz Lee

• Pranks apply only to the card you pick, not all copies of it
• You can prank the same card multiple times, stacking debuffs
• Pranks try to hit hand first then deck
• Your opponent can see which card of theirs was Pranked and with what debuff
• You can't Prank a units attack below 0, you also cannot Prank a cards cost above playability (10 mana for units and landmarks, 13 mana for spells)

List a loose list of Prank effects

Units:

• +2 Cost
• -2 Power
• -1 power and grant can't block
• -1 power and grant Vulnerable

Spells and Landmarks: +2 Cost

With our Hearthstone Deck Tracker Plugin. You can find more info (and a download link) here.

I've watched 3 hours now, just logged in to Hearthstone and got my first pack. It should be quite fast.

Yes, it immediately triggered the XP achievement and at the end of the match you get to see the reminder notification.

I can confirm, just tried it,an easy way to skip the grind

This is not something I wanted to read after a painful grind... :D

Targon and Bilgewater are running out of champions as well so we might get some curious inclusions in the not-so-distant future.

The Youtube Drops schedule has now been confirmed to be as expected (full blog):

• Grandmasters Week 1: United in Stormwind (max 2 packs)
• Grandmasters Weeks 2 - 7: Year of the Phoenix (max 2 packs)
• Grandmasters Playoffs: United in Stormwind (max 2 packs)

Jia is already casting APAC so I don't see her doing a double shift every day, not to mention the quite horrible timezone differences.

If you write text="Your Text" within the first card tag parentheses, you can change card names into whatever you wish.

If you're interested of all possible magic tricks we have, Sinti has made a great thread about them.

They were announced couple of days ago but we missed it with all the expansion launch stuff. The guide has now been updated.

How Many Arrows Do You Have?! - Deal 12 damage with your Hero Power in one turn as Hunter.

Can easily be completed without any Stormwind cards in Wild already. Use an Odd deck or Justicar Trueheart to upgrade the hero power, play Tour Guide or Fencing Coach the turn before the combo to make the Hero Power cost 0 and then either

• Clockwork Automaton + Clockwork Automaton + Hero Power   OR
• Clockwork Automaton + Hero Power + Blackwald Pixie + Hero Power

If you upgraded the Hero Power with Justicar, Garrison Commander can also be used instead of Pixie.
