Update: Grimmer Patron has been removed, it was originally announced in error by Blizzard.
Blizzard has confirmed the new Arena rotation coming with tomorrow's release of Delve into Deepholm and all the Duels treasures that are making their way to the draft pool.
- This Arena season has a new rule: Pick a treasure in your last draft pick.
- The first pick of draft will still be a Legendary card, with no other legendaries present during drafting.
Blizzard had previously announced that we'd see the Duels treasures entering the draft pool in their announcement that Duels would be removed in April. Check out all the treasures that will be available in the pool down below.
Quote From Blizzard The Delve into Deepholm has unearthed some treasures for Arena, too! On January 18, all current Arena runs will end and a new Arena season will begin. There is a new rule for this Arena Season: the last pick of each draft will be one of a curated pool of Duels Treasures!
Your first pick of each draft will still be a Legendary card and you will still not be offered any other Legendary cards throughout the draft, leading up to your Duels Treasure final pick. What kinds of synergies will you unearth with a Legendary card in one hand and a shiny new Treasure in the other?!
Additionally, the eligible sets will rotate so that the following sets will make up the Arena card pool this season:
- Showdown in the Badlands (including Delve into Deepholm)
- TITANS
- Caverns of Time
- Core
- Path of Arthas
- Scholomance Academy
- Fractured in Alterac Valley

I totally understand, bro
Me too, and it was mine too anyway.
Just to give it another try, making an old stinky boring mode more “fancy” … maybe, haha. Never mind.
And all of that … by erasing the best mode ever. Nice trade!
To be fair, … I was playing arena all the day in a veeeeeeeery long gone past … because there wasn't ANY other option, NOTHING. Okay … Or playing same old normal standard mode since the time of dinosaurs. Yeah yes, I forgot! That was a great other different option too … no time to laugh, sorry.
Sometimes I hate Blizzard, I really HATE Blizzard. Even that no giving a future mercenary mode still survives but by all of that mode's duels has to go!!
Not fair, no logic. But I can give U the real reason, same reason as ever by Bliz in the last few years,- no possibility of making money with. Even the characters are a special unique character in this mode, so they can't even create and sell skins for this. Not, they still did a try. Not even that they did. So sad, just sad. Only possibility of selling arena tickets for heroic entry. But why someone should do that, even he could use 150 gold easily. You see?!
Just scared for the money they are in love with today. Better times are gone and were removed the same patch as the dinosaurs. Good job Bliz even for you in that short few last years. I'll quit in March anyway. But I hope my wish will become true and some or a lot of other players will do the same. Just for the reason of this little trouble, it might hurt Blizzard the only point it could … the Wallet. Goodbye money, see you next seas,--- wait, … see you never again o.O" … But that's okay … We won't be better again, too. :)
Seriously Bliz … How could you do that … NOT DUELS ! The best mode! Okay … Battleground is o k a y too and sometimes very funny.
But still, … How?!! Why?! … HOW?!!!
Ugh I'm pissed Duels is gone because it was a carefree wild way to play and was my main mode. This change is going to just make arena worse with the main problem in duels: you draw the right card off the bat when there's no answer and 1-2 turn snowball wins the game. In arena if someone drops grimmer patron going first on turn 3 it's probably an auto win nearly every time.
I do like the legendary first though and it'd be nicer if they put the treasure second (and hell gave you 3 of them for more consistency rather than draw it and win).
