When Throne of the Tides Mini-Set launches tomorrow on June 1 with Patch 23.4, the new rotation will include following sets:
- Core
- The Boomsday Project
- Descent of Dragons
- Forged in the Barrens
- United in Stormwind
- Fractured in Alterac Valley
- Voyage to the Sunken City (including the new Throne of the Tides Mini-Set)
Additionally, the cards Frozen Mammoth, Horn of Wrathion, and Naval Mine have been returned to the draft pool. The new Mini-Set card, Inkveil Ambusher, will be unable to be drafted.
"Free" Tavern Ticket
Since the new rotation will not only add new sets but also remove some, we should expect a free Tavern Ticket for our unfinished Arena runs. As per usual, start an Arena run, leave it at X wins and a maximum of 2 losses and get a reward equal to the amount of wins you left the run with, plus a Tavern Ticket when your run gets retired with the rotation.
Don't forget that Arena entries generally close a few hours prior to the expansion launch based on your server time. Don't leave it for last minute!

I think the arena was fine right now. You can feel that the bad cards are out and when they toned down the glaive sharks and flipper friends it got a bit less samey. But the powerlevel is high right now but that feels ok. Still lose mostly to the usual suspects. Onyxia, collossals and sneed. But will keep playing and hoping it stays this level of broken.
So we are getting a ton of mech and dragon synergies while problematic cards like Snapdragon and all the Divers have not been removed yet… well looks like another garbage arena cycle.
Sadly, new rotation doesn’t look interesting “on paper”, wanted to see older expansions, not the current standard cards + 2 wild sets
