Update Nov 23: Apparently no new creators are getting reveals, those were previously handed out and the tweet from the primary Hearthstone account is essentially just really late to market which resulted in multiple websites in the community headlining similar stories with more creators to, in the future, receive new reveals. I think this is poor communication from Blizzard if others headlines the same story that was incorrect.
All the cards will be revealed by tomorrow, November 24. (Source)
Original article is below the line.
We've got a shakeup in the card reveal process for Fractured in Alterac Valley Blizzard announced this evening.
- Card reveals are continuing as scheduled.
- The planned final streamed event is being cancelled. (It was never announced)
- Some of the cards that were going to be streamed are being handed out to creators to reveal.
- The cards that are not going to be given out to creators will be revealed on November 24.
This feels like a huge win for the community, even if it comes with a side of sad from missing out on a fun streamed event - it sounds like it was going to be epic. Giving more folks in the community the opportunity to share a piece of Hearthstone history with everyone though is awesome and it may lead to some more creative displays of promotion. We've already seen some new faces get card reveals this season, so potentially adding more to the mix is a great way to promote the community side of Hearthstone. Is this finally the boost in community plenty of us have been asking for over the last 7 years?
We don't have the dates and times for when the fresh set of creator reveals are going to be happening yet, but when they go up on the official site by the end of November 24, we'll have them updated on our Fractured in Alterac Valley Card Reveal Schedule which will also make them available in our countdown widget as seen on our homepage.
Fractured in Alterac Valley releases on December 7, 2021 with 135 new cards and the new Honorable Kill keyword. You can see all the currently revealed by cards by visiting our Alterac Valley Guide and if you'd like to practice making decks with them, you can always visit our deckbuilder to theorycraft with the latest revealed cards.

Quote From @PlayHearthstone Notice: We’re distributing many of the remaining cards to creators for reveals (instead of the usual final card reveal stream). All remaining cards will be revealed Nov 24!
Alkali Layke, the newest addition to the Hearthstone Community Team at Blizzard, had some extra notes on the above tweet.
Quote From Alkali Layke Dear Hearthstone community,
This was not a decision we came to lightly. We had planned to have a reveal stream (it was going to be epic). But [Pile of poo] happens…big sad.
We're making [Sun] with rays out of [Lemon] by doing really great things with cool creators instead. Virtually hug a member of T5 okay?We DID NOT have time (HS keeps getting the [Hiking boot] on ugly media days) to assign all cards. As many of you know, our company was provided an extended Thanksgiving break and we just don't have the support to get it all done. BUT>>>many of the cards were given out. Big WIN for community.
The rest of the cards will be all up on the website by end of day on November 24th. Our team rose up through a really challenging time and accomplished a lot. We really hope you'll be happy to see some of your favorite creators get reveals. More next time K? (hugs)
Also…..PLEASE stop asking for card reveals this season. We already did what we could. We are all technically on vacation right now. There's nothing more to be done THIS season. We appreciate you all. We [Eyes] you all. Next time friends.
Give @MarkMcKz a card reveal or I will personally riot.
Okay…because I'm tired of seeing @MarkMcKz get tagged. (seriously laughing right now)
I CAN tell you I have emailed him about SOMETHING.
Ya good?! lol

Big win for MarkMcKz finally!!! I can't wait for his Ogre reveal!!
Wish I got a whole week off of work every Thanksgiving week but I'm thankful I get Thursday as a paid holiday.
Hope you get a few extra zzz's in this weekend Flux and the gang.
Let us not forget what it means to be thankful for the things and people in our lives.
Mark's finally winning that Oscar...
Mark’s reveal video intro prediction:
Mark: “Deck intro time! And this time… It’s not a deck at all! It’s just one card that I’m going to reveal to you, right now!”
Marks card reveal had better be a Snow Ogre with good stats or I will personally riot.
You beat me to the keyboard haha! Giving Mark an orge to reveal would be absolutely perfect.
Sadly, a 6/7 with low costs was already revealed today (Frozen Mammoth)
Hmm... So we have some meme/combo cards leftover?
We still have 4 hero cards left to be revealed, i think that we will see more strong cards
I was talking about MarkMcKz specifically...
I'm going to assume whatever dumps on Nov 24 will be the "pack filler" and the cool cards we'd normally see during a stream, like a few remaining legendaries and epics, will end up in creator hands.
The only question I still have is when do the reveals start. Not likely to be the weekend because Blizzard has mostly stopped doing weekend reveals (bless) and Thursday+Friday is probably out of the equation due to American Thanksgiving at the Hearthstone team being on vacation for the week. So, early Monday is possible.
Since the extra community reveals are replacing the live stream, it's also possible they'll happen on the 24th.
