As the summer and card reveal season keep heating up, it's also time to show some appreciation to our speedy Dragon friend Nozdormu the Eternal. The special quest for Nozdormu Day has returned for July 2022 after being unexpectedly absent last month, but the issues have been fixed and we can enjoy the extra xp once more.
The Quest is currently active across all regions!
Nozdormu at the Fire Festival
Nozdormu the Eternal is an integral part of the Core set (now with the 2022 tag), always there when you need to practice your 'speed Hearthstone' skills:
- As long as you have one quest slot open come server reset in your region on the 15th of each month, the Nozdormu quest will replace your regular quest of the day. It grants a lot more bonus XP, making it a worthwhile pursuit!
- This quest can also be rerolled away for a typical lesser one, if you really can't stand it. But Nozdormu will be very sad, and you will lose out on your precious Rewards Track XP.
- In order to be eligible, simply remove a non-crucial card from one of your favorite decks and replace it with Nozdormu the Eternal. It's not like anyone remembers to switch back after they're done.
- Queue up for a game with your 'new' deck in any relevant game mode of choice and hopefully encounter another player with Nozdormu in their deck, then have fun playing 'Speedstone'!
- You don't necessarily have to complete the quest as soon as you get it (it will actually remain in your log until refreshed), but there will likely be far fewer people trying to do the same later on.
- Winning or losing doesn't really matter for the quest completion, and opponents don't need to have Nozdormu the Eternal in their decks for it to count on your side - but just like with any other 'Play 3 games' quests, instant conceding won't add to overall progress. Luckily, the game will warn you now if you attempt to quit the match too soon!
If you're trying to take your blitzing semi-seriously and not just queue up and go AFK for a while as the quest 'completes itself', then as usual we recommend going for any decks that aren't reliant on long combos or performing multiple actions in a single turn. Simplicity is the key, as any flashy, slow animations or Discover choices aren't particularly desirable (unless you happen to have lighting speed reflexes). 15 seconds is all you get to work with here!
Finding somebody who has also put Nozdormu the Eternal into their deck isn't such a common occurrence nowadays, especially on Ranked ladders (it's only 3 games per month for most players, after all). You can consider yourself quite lucky when you do, and should enjoy those turns storming by - it's possible to tell whether the effect is in play as soon as the mulligan phase wraps up.

Is no help for our Dragon friend, as Tinyfin doesn't allow anyone above Rare rarity to enter this week's party.
Nozdormu Day Decks for July 2022
Nozdormu has once again gained the trust of Beasts, Mechs, Murlocs, and Pirates as they have allowed his one-day stay amongst them. As a good chunk of decks that used to be strong still remain that way, you can take a look at our May and June posts in case nothing below suits your needs.
And on the Wild side of things, there is also that deck from Trimutius. More closely following the theme of Nozdormu and his Dragon companions.
Got any other swift decks where it feels like Nozdormu the Eternal simply belongs? Completing the quest as quickly as possible in Casual mode or bravely trying to climb the ranks? Let us know whether you've had any luck running into some Nozdormu faithfuls in any game mode this month!

I didn't get the quest again. 2 times in a row now.
I didn`t get the quest... How could this happen?
It happened!! My first Nozdormu proc!
Guys, it was amazing!
Yay for Nozdormu: no procs, no wins :/
Another 3 games with not a single opponent who played Nozdormu. Just like last time. Maybe they should pit people with the card in their deck together?
Unfortunately no miniset card fits the archetype... There is some deathrattle synergy, but just the wrong kind which doesn't work with the deck at all
