Hearthstone Patch 35.2 has just rolled out, although it's not for any content being added today except for bug fixes. Instead, this is in preparation for new content being added in the following days:
Battlegrounds Season 13 starts tomorrow.
New In-Game Event: Battle of the Firelands from April 14 to May 5.
Two Tavern Brawls
Heroic Tavern Brawl from April 15 to April 22.
Dual-Class Tavern Brawl from April 29 to May 6.
Battlegrounds Track refresh.
New "Deathling" pet in Darkmoon Faire Treasures from April 15 to May 5.
Three more weeks of free packs.
Kayn Sunfury, Mathias Shaw, and Genn Greymane skins to be purchasable with Runestones.
There was a pretty infamous bug where Demon Hunter Malfurion depicted Aranna instead of the great Druid himself. That bug has now been fixed (no more trans Malfurion).

Deathling Flutters Menacingly into Darkmoon Faire Treasures
From April 14 - May 5, behold the Dinky Destroyer. The Wittle Worldbreaker. The Black Scourgelet. Deathling. He’s just one of 10 fantastical prizes you can win at the Darkmoon Faire Treasures booth.
Deathling is the spawn of Deathwing, his most chaotic creation and his most loyal disaster. He may not have Deathwing’s size or world‑shattering might, but you would never guess it from how scrappy and bitey he is. Deathling reacts to your gameplay, celebrating your biggest plays with manic fervor and melting down over even the slightest setback. He flutters by your side as the first‑ever Hearthstone Pet to stay airborne.
Feed him one of his favorite snacks, an extra‑juicy Magmaw grub. Dig into his toy bag and pull out one of three surprises at random for him to play with: an Alexstrasza Plush, an N’Zoth Toy, or a pack of live dynamite?!
Earn XP to level up Deathling and unlock new skins, including Shadowflame Deathling, Mech‑ling, and Deathling, Worldbreaker.
Each Pet earns XP differently, rewarding you for the actions they like. Here’s how to earn XP with Deathling:
Feed Deathling a Treat
Summon a minion with 12 or more attack
Cast a Fire spell
Use Herald
Play a 10-cost card
Play a Dragon that costs 5 or more mana
Discard a card
Gain Armor
In Battlegrounds, start a game as Deathwing, Ragnaros or Al'Akir
In Battlegrounds, Triple a Dragon
In Battlegrounds, play a Tavern Tier 6 minion
In Battlegrounds, win a round of combat
Darkmoon Faire Treasures is our random pull system that rewards Pets, Mythic Skins, Signature cards, Hero Skins, and more. The first pull is free, and subsequent pulls require Runestones to purchase. Every pull guarantees a prize. As the prize collections in the Treasures booth rotate, prices adjust to match the value of the current items. Read more about the current value of Darkmoon Faire Treasures, as well as pull rates and odds.
