Card Adjustments 

Several balance changes throughout the years were made because cards were too powerful for Standard, even if not necessarily too powerful in Wild. On March 11, with Patch 29.0, the following cards will be adjusted. Most of these changes are to cards currently in Standard, in anticipation of their rotation into Wild on March 19. 

The following cards will be reverted to their original form: 

  • Blightfang
  • Glacial Advance 
  • Construct Quarter 
  • Relic of Dimensions 
  • Miracle Growth 
  • Spirit Poacher 
  • Stag Charge 
  • Wild Spirits 
  • Ara’lon 
  • Hope of Quel’thalas 
  • Faithful Companions 
  • Arcane Wyrm 
  • Nightcloak Sanctum 
  • Spitelash Siren 
  • Feast and Famine 
  • The Purator 
  • Lightray 
  • High Cultist Basaleph 
  • Scribbling Stenographer 
  • Vile Library 
  • Nellie, the Great Thresher 
  • Pufferfist 
  • School Teacher 
  • Smothering Starfish 
  • Prince Renathal 

The following cards will be updated or reverted as follows: 

Death Blossom Whomper  

  • [5 Mana] 6/5.

Halduron Brightwing 

  • [3 Mana] 3/4. Battlecry: Give all Arcane spells in your hand and deck Spell Damage +1.

Balance changes to Core Set cards will also take place on March 11. See the Core Set blog for details.

The Year of the Pegasus Takes Off 

Year of the Pegasus Clock

When Whizbang’s Workshop goes live on March 19, so will the start of the next Hearthstone year: the Year of the Pegasus. At that time, cards from the Year of the Hydra (Voyage to the Sunken City, Murder at Castle Nathria, March of the Lich King, and Path of Arthas) rotate out of Standard. The Core Set rotation—cards leaving and entering Core—will also happen on March 19. 

Battlegrounds Updates 

  • Greta Gold-Gun is returning to the minion pool. 
  • Stay tuned for news about our next major Battlegrounds update in the coming weeks… some might say it’s double the fun! 

Arena Updates 

On March 11, all ongoing Arena runs will end and a new Arena season will begin. Celebrate 10 years of Hearthstone with this special Arena Season that includes cards across all Hearthstone expansions! Instead of a group of sets that apply to all classes, each class has its own curated list of cards that can include cards from any expansion. The first pick of each Arena draft will be a Legendary card, which will be the only Legendary card offered in your draft. Duels Treasures have been removed from Arena drafts. 

Signature Frame Update 

We’ve made a new frame for Signature cards in Whizbang’s Workshop! The rarity gems on these Signature cards are also differently shaped for different rarities, making them more accessible and easier to read. 

Game Master Nemsy Signature Card

This new frame pulls from general Hearthstone aesthetics, but is flexible enough to work with a variety of Signature card themes. All current Signature cards will remain unchanged, but all future Signature cards will use this new frame. The art style within each frame will update to match the feel and themes of each expansion. 

Whizbang’s Workshop Catch-Up Packs 

Catch-Up Packs are back for Whizbang’s Workshop! Just like Showdown in the Badlands Catch-Up Packs, Whizbang’s Workshop Catch-Up Packs include 5-50 cards from previous Standard sets, depending on your collection completion levels for those sets. However, because of the Standard rotation, there are only three eligible sets for Whizbang’s Workshop Catch-Up Packs: Festival of Legends, TITANS, and Showdown in the Badlands. Since these packs pull from three sets instead of five, the details have shifted to meet the overall goal of still giving 5-50 total cards per pack. You can read all the specifics on the updated Disclosure Page.

Whizbang's Workshop Catch-Up Pack

This new breakdown only applies to 3-set Catch-Up Packs (currently only Whizbang’s Workshop). 5-set Catch-Up Packs (currently only Showdown in the Badlands) will still work as they did before. Each type of Catch-Up Pack is distinct and pulls from an established pool of cards, meaning that Badlands Catch-Up Packs are not updating to Whizbang’s Workshop Catch-Up Packs or changing in any way with rotation.

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements 

  • [Hearthstone] Rules change! Temporary mana (such as from the Coin or Innervate) can now make you go above max mana. This applies to the base max mana of 10 and to any modified max mana, like if you’ve played Wildheart Guff or Audio Amplifier.  
  • [Hearthstone] Another rules change! You can now have multiple of the same Sigil, Objective, or Aura in play at the same time. Secrets, Quests, Questlines, Sidequests, and Battlegrounds effects that use the Secret Zone are still restricted to one instance in play at a time.  
  • [Hearthstone] Wrath of Air Totem is back, in place of Strength Totem, in the Shaman Hero Power pool.  
  • [Hearthstone] Paladin has expanded its recruiting efforts! Now, whenever you summon a Silver Hand Recruit, it will be one of 7 different art pieces (6 new recruits and the original). 
  • [Hearthstone] Like card backs and hero skins, you are now able to favorite more than one Coin. Decks can now use a random favorite Coin, a random owned Coin, or one specific Coin. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Harth Stonebrew’s Iconic Demon Hunter hand wasn’t iconic enough: the cards in that specific hand will now be their launch versions. We’ve also adjusted the hand order to make it flow better with Outcast effects. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug causing a disconnect when an effect summoned a Colossal minion into play when Reno, Lone Ranger’s standoff was in effect. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Velarok, the Deceiver didn’t count as a Dragon after transforming. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Frost Plague’s debuff would be re-applied if it applied to a minion that was then stolen. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Summoning Ward attempts to trigger even if your board is full. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Harvester of Envy wouldn’t steal an original card copied with Shattered Reflections. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Keywarden Ivory could only discover from Madness at the Darkmoon Faire and Scholomance Academy. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where players couldn’t scroll all the way to the bottom of Twist decks on mobile. 
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a visual bug where Frozen Signature cards lacked the Frozen U.I. 
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where “Come One, Come All” (Silas Darkmoon’s Hero Power) wouldn’t progress if the minion holding the Darkmoon Ticket was your last minion for a Golden minion. 
  • [Arena] Fixed a bug where Horn of the Ancients wouldn’t grant Colossal minions if it was generated when they weren’t in the card set pool. 
  • [Progression] Fixed a bug where the “It’s 12 O’Clock” Achievement wouldn’t progress. 
  • [Progression] Fixed a bug where the “All Werked Up” Achievement didn’t count minions destroyed in hand. 
  • [General] Improved tooltip effects, including fixing some bugs where certain tooltips were cut off. 
  • Misc. other bug fixes and game improvements.
