Quote From Blizzard Entertainment Hearthstone Card Reveals With Friends
Crew briefing starts on June 9! Vanessa VanCleef has a plan to break out of the Violet Hold, and it utilizes the skills of Azeroth’s most notorious outlaws. It’s time to get familiar with the details of this daring heist.
Across four reveals hosted by Rarran, we’re joined by two content creator guests and one developer guest per stream to walk through brand-new cards and the expansion’s rule-breaking mechanics.
Drops are enabled on Hearthstone’s Twitch and YouTube channels!

Final Card Reveal Stream
After four “routine inspections” hosted by Rarran, the operation escalates into a full-scale breakout plan: Regis Killbin teams up with Hearthstone Designer Edward Goodwin to reveal the remaining cards.
They’ll also take the new cards straight into gameplay, because the only thing better than seeing a Violet Hold door open is seeing what’s waiting on the other side.
Drops are enabled on Hearthstone’s Twitch and YouTube channels, so clock in, keep watch, and try not to look suspicious.
When: Tuesday, June 23 at 2:00 p.m. PDT
Where: PlayHearthstone Twitch and YouTube
Drops enabled:
Twitch: 1x Escape from Violet Hold pack for 15 minutes of watch time
YouTube: 1x Escape from Violet Hold pack for 15 minutes of watch time
Theorycrafting, Community Days and Pre-Release Tavern Brawl
Theorycrafting
The plan is out in the wild and now everyone’s trying their own version of the breakout.
Theorycrafting brings together players from across the globe, all streaming their escape attempts live with brand-new decks, questionable strategies (players need to have a minimum of 10 Escape from Violet Hold cards in their decks), and some very unexpected results.
Theorycrafting participants will stream on their own channels in these slots:
NA/LATAM/EMEA players will play on June 25, 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. PDT
APAC players will play on June 26, 2:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. PDT
CN players will play on June 28 4:00 p.m. - June 29 7:00 a.m. PDT

Community Days
Trial Cards were just the start; the loot is still flowing!

When: June 30, 10:00 a.m. - July 4, 10:00 a.m PDT
Category-Wide Drops enabled: 8 packs (4x Emerald Dream, 4x The Lost City of Un'Goro packs)
Pre-Release Tavern Brawl
The reveals showed the plan. Theorycrafting tested the routes. Now it’s time to run your own breakout.
Crack open the Escape from Violet Hold packs you’ve been earning, then jump into the Pre-Release Tavern Brawl where only Escape from Violet cards are allowed. Everyone gets free trial copies of all Common Escape from Violet Hold cards to start, and the biggest rule is shattered: pick a class… then build your deck with cards from ANY class and no Rune restrictions.
When: June 30, 10:00 a.m. PDT - July 7, 10:00 a.m. PDT
