Grandmasters Season 2 kicked off last weekend with a flurry of matches and this week is no different. This week should got some extra spice from the nerfs which arrived last Monday. Will players still trust Mage?

Do note that there are not any free packs associated with the Grandmasters events right now.

Grandmasters Shielded Conquest Format

New for season 2, the Hearthstone Grandmasters has moved away from the Specialist format and has introduced a new version of the beloved conquest. Here's how it works!

  • Matches are Best of 3. (Old version it was Bo5)
  • Players bring 4 decks.
  • Before each match starts, each player chooses a deck to shield. This deck cannot be banned.
  • After the shielded deck is chosen, each player bans a deck of their opponent.
  • Winning a game with your deck means it cannot be played again in that match.
  • The player that loses a game can choose to keep their current deck or switch to a different one.
  • Players are told what classes their opponent has remaining but not which one that has been selected.

You can read more about why the format changed in Blizzard's post on it. Our own mrgn0me recently did an analysis on the format and how players may choose to build their lineups.
