Hearthstone Patch 35.4.2 Dev Update Livestream (Notes Inside)

You might've missed this in Tuesday's patch notes, but today, the Hearthstone team is treating us a dev update video discussing said patch. We don't anticipate any critical information past what we already know, but we're bound to get a few fun nuggets of information about the class sets and how they came to be.

Notes

• The video was recorded on May 15, meaning that the balance patch on Tuesday has no bearing on what's being talked about.

• Dev update videos are going to happen more often.

• They have confirmed that no new class is releasing this year.

• Death Knight is the class that is getting a second class set, a decision made to accommodate the Rune system.

• Treant Token Druid was the original plan for the Druid class set. They changed this when the deck was already powerful and didn't want to support a deck that's already prevalent.

• Dragon Soul, Shattered was designed for the main Cataclysm set, but was moved when there wasn't any room for it.

• They are working on a system to reduce the amount of "Double-Hearld" deck in dual-class Arena.

• The next expansion is a "prison break" expansion. Given the Violet Hold theming in the leak from yesterday, it seems more likely that the leak is legitimate.
