Patch Notes
Quote From Blizzard A new Hearthstone update has just arrived, featuring the “Doom in the Tomb” Hallow’s End event, Wild cards temporarily returning to Standard, portrait rewards for dedicated Hearthstone players, and much more!
New Event - Doom in the Tomb!
Pack your torches and latch your helmets, Heroes. The Headless Horseman has infiltrated Uldum’s deserted desert tombs, outfitted himself with powerful relics, and has set his sights on besting the battling Leagues! The new Doom in the Tomb event starts today, October 8, and will last until October 30. Here’s what’s in store:
- Week 1: Doom in the Tomb, Part 1
Gear up with your favorite member from the League of E.V.I.L and delve into the Haunted Temple, full of the baddest bosses in Uldum! The clock is running, too – race to set the record for the fastest Temple run!
- Rewards
- Complete a run in under 1 hour and earn a Rastakhan’s Rumble Card Pack.
- Complete a run in under 40 minutes to earn a Golden Common Ancient Mysteries!
- Week 2: Doom in the Tomb, Part 2
E.V.I.L has their turn, and now it’s up to Reno and the League of Explorers to join the run and flex their Temple diving speed. New enemies and challenges await!
- Rewards
- Complete a run in under 1 hour and receive a Golden Common Temple Berserker
- Complete a run in under 40 minutes to earn a Golden Rare Generous Mummy
- Week 3: The Haunted Carousel
Get ready for the big mix-up! In this Tavern Brawl, you’ll need to strategize around minions constantly rotating board positions – all while controlling the Horseman’s time-shifted Dreadsteeds!
- Rewards
- Summon 100 Dreadsteeds to earn a Rise of Shadows Card Pack
Dual-Class Heroes
The Dual-Class Arena Hallow’s Eve dress-up party is back! When you start an Arena run during the Doom in the Tomb event, you’ll choose a Hero, then a Hero Power, and card offerings will feature cards from BOTH of those classes, in addition to neutral cards.
- Players who have an active Arena run when this begins will have their current run ended and will receive an Arena Ticket as compensation.
- To ensure that players have a chance to try out this devilish dual-class deck-building dress-up party, anyone who logs in during each of the first two weeks will receive one Arena Ticket per week!
- This event coincides with our normal Arena rotation. The new Arena sets in rotation are as follows:
- Curse of Naxxramas
- Goblins vs. Gnomes
- Blackrock Mountain
- The Grand Tournament
- League of Explorers
- Whispers of the Old Gods
- One Night in Karazhan
- Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
- Journey to Un'Goro
- Knights of the Frozen Throne
- Kobolds & Catacombs
Hex & Flex Bundles
Hex Bundle
- If you thought the League of E.V.I.L. was securely under wraps, think again! Arch-Villain Rafaam has leveraged his lackeys and put together the Hex Bundle, 20 Rise of Shadows card packs and a random Rise of Shadows Legendary card at the discounted price of $19.99 EUR.
Flex Bundle
- Reno’s vest just doesn’t have room for bulging biceps AND stacks of card packs. That’s why he’s whipped together the Flex Bundle! Get 20 Saviors of Uldum packs and a random Saviors of Uldum Legendary card at the discounted price of $19.99 EUR.
Standard Shake-Up
Starting with today’s patch and lasting until our next major update, 23 cards from across Hearthstone history are temporarily stepping out of Wild and back into Standard. To ensure that everyone can participate in this meta-mixing event, we’ll be granting everyone free copies of each card (these copies cannot be disenchanted or crafted) so they can add these heavy-hitters to their decks and get straight into the action. These cards will be considered "event" cards, which essentially means that they're temporary copies and not permanent additions to your collection. Even if you already own the cards you'll still receive these event copies, and when the event ends they'll disappear.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While these cards were re-introduced during the Doom in the Tomb event, they will remain in Standard past the event's conclusion, until the launch of our next major update. More details will be shared, including exact end dates and times, in the coming weeks.

Comments
Wonder if they're testing the waters to let certain Wild cards back in permanently.
Does anybody know when week 2 is supposed to start
Do the new hero skins have the same voice lines as pre-1k wins skins? does the "enter play" animation differ from the golden one? what about the "use hero power" animation?
nice, only uther so far for me, better get to work
That sweet feeling after login in and receiving freebies as well as 3 New Hero Portraits.
...but that was ... right before the storm
The Warrior, Warlock, and Mage are the best-looking to me.
I've only unlocked Paladin, Shaman, and Druid. RIP.
I think Mage has been the most chosen as favorite and I like it too. Personally I also like the Paladin and Shaman ones. The Warrior one creeps me out, I wouldn't want to play with it starring at me all the time (I'm talking about the big eye on the shoulder).
I've seriously lost any desire to play this game recently. Cool things but I don't really want to play.
Everyone: I have grown more powerful since the last time we've met.
Valeera: YARHAR FIDDLE-DEE-DEE, BEING A PIRATE IS ALRIGHT WITH ME!
Poor Anduin, look at his teeth!
Serious over bite going on.
It is actually Andfffphuin and it is both whistled and pronounced ^^
Since when did Valeera become a pirate!?
When she lost an eye apparently. I mean, if you already have an eye patch and happen to be of a class where being a pirate is only a re-specialisation away, then who wouldn't?
I first thought the eye patch was a silly addition and she'd look pretty cool anyway without it, but then I looked closer and they did include a vertical scar under her patched eye (unless I'm imagining it) which makes me appreciate it a bit more.
Regardless, given Valeera has much less Warcraft material to work from than most of the other heroes, I understand them choosing to do what they do all the time anyway and take a 'what if' route. Much more worthwhile than some (ahem, Malfurion) who barely changed in my opinion.
The newly-added cards to your Standard collection can also be used in those old adventure missions that require deck-building (if you don't already have these in your Wild collection).
Kinda bs you aren't allowed to use your own golden copies
I hope, in the future they will update all other portraits the same way.
Decided "fuck it, I'll buy the Hex bundle, I'm still missing 4 legendaries from RoS, maybe I'll get Archivist Elysiana as my free one, that's the only missing one I'd really like to have."
Free Legendary: Archivist Elysiana
Then open in the 20 packs: Tak Nozwhisker, The Boom Reaver and Nozari
Hmm... I now have a complete RoS set. Good $20 spent!
Congrats! That's some mighty fine RNG.
I was curious about this in the last two bundles that included a legendary so was paying attention and I believe the random legendary from the bundle follows the no-duplicate rule as well, so you're guaranteed to get one that you don't have
nice luck in the packs though :)
You've got good luck with this bundle)) For most of the players it's gonna be some shitty legendary)
