Official Patch Notes & Datamined Changes for 5170
Something Adventurous is Brewing in the Inn
Another blank card was posted to the Hearthstone facebook page this morning. The Egg Sac card joins up with the Two Swords card which was posted a couple days ago, giving off a very Naxxramas vibe. Either we're getting a Death Knight hero who spawns spiders, or this is the Adventure mode content that Blizzard said we would see announced shortly after release.
First Card: http://wowhead.com/npc=16216#screenshots:id=99569

Ooze being a vague thing that could be anywhere. Card quality: common
Card Text: 5/5 Cost 7 - At the end of each turn, deal 1 damage to all enemies.
Plague Card: http://www.wowhead.com/npc=16168#screenshots:id=47173
More specific, but still vague enough. By now people will have mostly guessed it. Card quality: epic
Card Text: 3/5 At the start of your turn, heals all damage taken.
Final Card: http://www.wowhead.com/npc=15989/sapphiron#screenshots:id=154623 (Legendary Quality)
Reveal.
Card Text: 8/8 (8) At the end of your turn, freeze a random enemy minion. Attackers are frozen.
A Naxxramas vibe? Because Naxx has some spiders in it and also some guys that use swords? I'm not seeing it myself.
I look forward to new adventures. I like much slower card expansions than other TCG's do. Maybe once per 6 months would be perfect. I want a chance to earn all the new cards for free before I get overwhelmed with a onslaught of new cards.
I'd think it will be one adventure done in several steps (kinda like the tutorial) and the steps can be increasingly difficult. I only hope, that it will be more than just 5-8 cards, because the current meta has to be stirred.
I really hope its adventure mode xD
Blizz has said that adventure mode will release along side the full iPad release....which I expect this weekend at PAX East. Adventure mode is inc.
Do you have a reputable source on them being released together? The last statement on the matter was that Adventure Mode would be released after the iPad release.

No!!! A curse upon you, IProto! The armies of the Lich King will hunt you down. You will not escape your fate...
