Quick question - when new cards are added with Adventure Mode, will you provide a filter to allow us to continue to play vanilla only?
No plans for that currently. - Ben Brode (Source)

Are Casual MMR and Ranking MMR different?
Ranked Mode doesn't use MMR until you hit Legend Rank, but yes, your Legend MMR is different than your Casual MMR. - Ben Brode (Source)
Yes, they are designed to be separate! Is there a reason you are doubting this? - Yong Woo (Source)

Are you concerned about the card collection gap between beta & release players & if it will impact on the view of the game?
Not really - you don't need many cards to make a good deck, and our matchmaker should find you a fair match. - Ben Brode (Source)

MLG/ManaGrind Tournament #10 Review

ManaGrind's Jotto has written up his weekly review on last weekend's North American and European tournaments. If you're competing in this weekend's events, make sure you read his article so you're prepared for the possible demons you will face.

Hello everyone, this is Jotto and welcome to the review of the MLG/ManaGrind #10 Tournament. This week we had a class everyone seems to have forgotten about win the tournament on the North American side with the metagame starting to solidify on the European side.

This week was interesting as not only did we see a Druid win the European tournament twice in a row with more or less the same deck, we saw a combo Warrior make it into both top four, a Warlock “shields up” deck make a name for itself in the metagame, and a Paladin win a tournament for the first time in months.

Legends of Hearthstone W9

Blizzard only posted the top 100 results this week from the North American Hearthstone ladder, so we don't have up to date data from Europe. Did you make the list?

All players from the top 100 in North America are Legend rank. This is up from 43 players 2 weeks ago. Congratulations!!

Please note that this list only includes players who are currently at Legend rank. If not enough players are at Legend rank to display here, this list will display the top ranked Legend players as well as other top Ranked Play players in order of stars accumulated. This data is up-to-date as of yesterday, January 2nd, 2014.
