Quote From Blizzard Entertainment

The Day of Rebirth Mini-Set includes 38 new cards. Get them in The Lost City of Un’Goro packs or as a complete 72-card* Mini-Set. Pick up the normal version for $14.99 or 2000 Gold, or go all-in with the all-Golden version for $69.99 or 10,000 Gold, which includes a bonus Diamond copy of the Beast Speaker Taka Legendary minion! You can see all of the new cards in the official Card Library.

* Includes 1 copy of each Legendary card and 2 copies of each Common, Rare, and Epic card in the Mini-Set.

Arena Updates

With Patch 33.4, all ongoing Arena runs will end and a new Arena season will begin.

The updated draft pool now consists of these sets:

• The Lost City of Un'Goro + Day of Rebirth Mini-Set
• Perils in Paradise
• Festival of Legends
• March of the Lich King
• Murder at Castle Nathria
• Core

Escape the Underfel has been removed from the draft pool.

For this season, the guaranteed Legendary pick during the second Redraft on Loss in Underground Arena has been replaced with a normal draft pick.

We've made a small improvement to Underground rewards at 9 and 11 wins:

• 9 Wins: Now includes a guaranteed Pack*.
• 11 Wins: Instead of granting a random reward of either Gold or 3 Packs, players now receive 1 guaranteed Pack plus a random reward of either Gold or 2 additional Packs.

Please visit our Arena information page for more details on rewards.

* Card Packs for 9 and 11 wins will be from the latest Hearthstone expansion.

New Arrivals: Void-Touched Cosmetics Now in the Shop

Additionally, the Darkmoon Faire Treasures will include the new Pet Rabbit’ath from September 2 to 23, adding a shadowy companion to your collection (more on her below).

Rabbit’ath Hops Into Darkmoon Faire Treasures

Hearthstone’s newest interactive Pet, Rabbit’ath, is a mischievous, Void-touched bunny that reacts to your gameplay, emotes, and more with sassy animations and sounds. Pet her, feed her Void-berries, or play with her Xal’atath dagger toy to see her burrow under the gameboard! Available from September 2 to 23, Rabbit’ath is one of 10 prizes in the returning Darkmoon Faire Treasures, a random pull system that also rewards Signature cards, Hero Skins, and more. Read more details on Darkmoon Faire Treasures pulls and odds.
