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.

1,000 Win Portrait Rewards
The time has come for dedicated Hearthstone players to flex their Hero mastery! We’re introducing new portraits earned by achieving 1,000 Ranked or Arena wins with each class. Wins earned before this update goes live will retroactively count towards these totals.

Comments
Man I love that graphic...
My graphics are broken with this update. Anyone else has this?
I'm guessing the patch is not live yet on mobile? I'm not seeing new quests / arena ticket or anything new.
Patches never go live instantly on mobile, and if they do, it's a rarity.
They have to go through appstore / google play approval processes before they show up.
Thanks Flux. Love the site and your quick responses with the community. So glad you decided to pursue and create out of cards.
I have the same question
FYI this appears to have broken Hearthstone Deck Tracker, likely as a new version on Unity is being employed.
Or at least myself and other people in the relevant discord are experiencing this issue.
Can play without but like to keep the stats and pack opening stats.
Update from discord:
Our developers are already looking into it! I'll update here as soon as we have anything to announce.
Update 2:
Now fixed!
They usually have HDT fixed real soon after patches break it. I'm sure it's their #1 priority!
Not testing it yet, but maybe Firestone will work?
Maybe, but as this will kill the stats collection for hsreplay.net I'm pretty sure they'll fix it ASAP.
For sure, mean time you can use it for packs opening I guess ;).
I'm still waiting for the update to hit Android. Usually it's here right away.
New arena rotation, dual classes, removal of power buckets during drafting ... oh my.
Don't forget this is also the patch that contains those new 1000 win portraits!
Yep! We'll have them all rendered very soon.
Maybe not "very soon". Been a lot of changes with the client and we're working to figure out a solution to get the new cards rendered.
You can see all the new cards added in today's patch here:
https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?added_in_patch=125
Just keep in mind, no images yet!
I repeat: team5 give us the legendary card of the damn Headless Horseman! (possibly viable, thank you).
Mummy Paladin is gonna be nuts now with Sylvannas and Ragnaros.
If you also had an ongoing Arena run (let's say at 2 losses) before the event went live, you would be awarded with all the rewards from that run plus an extra Arena ticket, while the old run would be forfeited. The same will happen at the end of the event, so keep that in mind as well.
