Blizzard has announced during today's Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct that Hearthstone's Arena is getting an overhaul.
- There will now be two modes for arena.
- Normal Arena lets you play the more typical arena run with a shorter format. "Awesome competitive experience."
- A new mode, the Underground Arena, is available after your normal run and adds high stakes card play.
- Underground Arena has longer runs and allows you to edit your deck after a loss by redrafting cards to up your chances of winning.
- Arena Ratings will be available for normal and underground modes, with separate rankings.
The updated Arena will appear in the first half of next year.

I really hope they learned their lesson and make the game mode more accessible. It is useless to make a great overhaul, if the entry fee is too high and only selected few will play it.
