  • Plagues - These are powerful cards which have deadly effects. The "villain" classes each receive them, 4 having board-wide effects.
  • Quests - Finally return to Hearthstone! Last seen in Journey to Un'Goro, these are 1-cost legendary spells that start in your opening hand if they are in your deck.
  • Highlander / Singleton - If your deck has no duplicates, do a cool thing! We last saw this mechanic in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan.

  • No trace of the second and third quest either... they really exist?

    • I'm looking into several sources and it seems that there's only one legendary quest, not three: this website lies.

      Please, from now on, try to check if the info you publish is true, because I was already counting on those 6 free packs and, at the end of the day, it was a false hope...

      • this website doesn't lie, those are datamined information and if you can see those names are "onward uldum" which will be completed with a Tavern Brawl that is unique to this expansion. So probably those quests will be active next wednesday - when the tavern brawl will be reset- .

        so, sooner or later we will get those quests and i am sure they are real quests. That's the mistake of blizzard to not release them all on first day of the expansion, instead of brawliseum not the mistake of this site.

        it seems it is also not a mistake. Blizzard wants you to spend your golds into Brawliseum so you can buy more packs with real money and after you got what you need they will give you "free packs" next week as a dust source. :)

        This site tries to give you all information which they can find and you are still whining about  free stuff, can't you be respectful please ? And can't you use your brain a little to understand stuff that is written there? It needs a tavern brawl to be active. It is obvious.

  • where is the next quest ?!

  • do you know when we will be getting the next two legendary quests? I thought it would come with the brawl but it didn't.

    Friendly
    • i also didnt receive a new legendary quest

    • From my experience they arrive at 20:00 EET. So 7 pm CET or 13:00 EDT/ 12:00 CDT depending on where you live.

      • I have not yet received the next two legendary quests... This is strange!!!

        • :/

          Normally they arive at the times I mentioned above. Strange.

          • Did you receive the second legendary quest?

            • Not yet.

              • Thanks! Neither me... :(

  • After 156 packs im still missing a load of legendaries and epics...

    Feels bad man..

     

  • 31 packs opened

    1 legendary

    lul

  • 156 packs

    11 legendaries (+ warlock quest for log and Sir Finley form preorder)

    Unpacked all quests except shaman's (alredy crafted it) and warrior's (not intrested in that quest at all).

    No complaints. No complaints at all.

     

  • Impressions so far.

    There's several versions of Zoolock running right now, and they're all fantastic, but also beatable.

    Battlecry Shaman is obviously very good, but not quite as OP as I thought it might be.

    I've been playing singleton Mage and Hunter and they're good! I went from Rank 9 to Rank 6 playing those two decks. Zephrys is absolutely amazing. I haven't lost a game where I got to play him. Giving me Brightwing on turn 2, Pyroblast on turn 20, or Flamestrike when I ask nicely, he absolutely lives up to his hype. More consistent than Kazakus, which is essential for the singleton decks. Oh yeah, Reno and Brann are no slouches either. Did I mention zoo is running rampant? New Reno is a way better turn 6 play than old Reno was against that type of deck.

    Quest Paladin is absolutely busted. There will have to be a nerf. I was playing a heavy control deck and successfully cleared his Reborn minions 6-7 turns in a row (after he successfully completed quest) with cards and value to spare. I was gaining board control and he was running out of cards. Then he plops down a Mechano-egg, and there was no coming back. I'm genuinely not sure how to beat this deck. Zoo can maybe out-aggro it, but it also has tons of life gain. The real issue is that it breaks control decks with infinite value. And it might actually be a worse offender than Jade Druid. That deck went infinite at the end, which was also unfair to control decks, but Quest Paladin starts going infinite in the mid-game.

    All in all the power level of decks being played feels ridiculously high right now, but Quest Paladin is the only one that I'm sure is actually broken. I give it four weeks tops before there's a nerf.

  • I got Octosari on my first pack and soon after on my sixth pack I got Siamat which is instantly going in all of my decks.

  • Thanks for posting, keep up the great work! Can I please request the inclusion of an Asian Timezone and time of release for us players on this side of the world? 

     

    I recommend AEST (+10) or AWST/CST (+8) 

     

    Thanks!

     

     

  • Poop, just realized there was no launch week $10 bundle :(

  • Hey guys, I got Activate the Obelisk quest. Do I need to do anything or did I just get the card?
