PAX East 2015 Recap

Another PAX East has come and gone, and we've gotten yet another awesome presentation from Blizzard regarding Hearthstone. PAX East has been a bit of a major event for Hearthstone as we saw in 2013 it brought the announcement of the game we all love, and in 2014 the Curse of Naxxramas was announced. Below, we've got all the great stuff announced for Hearthstone at this year's PAX East.

If you're interested in other titles from the Blizzard universe, our sister site HeroesNexus has recapped the Heroes of the Storm's announcements at PAX, which includes the addition of Sylvanas Windrunner to the game, and over at OverPwn, we've got news about two new heroes entering Overwatch, and it looks like the Overwatch Beta will be coming out in Fall 2015!

Blackrock Mountain

Blackrock Mountain, Hearthstone's second adventure was announced, and it is looking epic. For a more extensive recap, check out our PAX East 2015 post, or head on over to the Blackrock Mountain guide we have started.

We've also got some info about the first fight, if you're into spoilers!

• Releasing April 2015!
• The five wings, which house seventeen bosses and nine class challenges can be purchased for 700 gold each, or $6.99 USD.
• Like Naxxramas, one wing opens each week during the adventure. The first wing is not free.
• You can get discounts by purchasing the wings in bulk, and a card back if you pre-order (real money only) the entire adventure.
• Pre-orders for the wings begin around March 19th.
• Thirty-One cards will be added to the game, and will be available by defeating bosses, completing wings, and beating class challenges.
• Dragons are getting some love! Some new cards are going to have interactions with Dragons, and there's even some new Dragons!
• Heroic Mode will reward a new card back.
• The new cards which unlock each week will be added to the Arena the same week they are unlocked.

Hearthstone Mobile is now in Alpha

Hearthstone's mobile version is being tested internally among Blizzard staff right now. They are estimating that it will be out within a couple of months. Below you can see screenshots of the start screen, collection manager, in-game board, and card pack opening. Quite a bit different than the normal client!

Deck Spotlight: Nitrodin, Control Pally

In tonight's deck spotlight, Hakai brings us yet another awesome deck, this time Control Paladin flavoured, Nitrodin! Nitrodin's goal is to draw a bunch of cards, keep your opponent's side of the field empty, and to heal yourself up to stay as full as possible. Hakai is currently rocking a 72% win-rate over 25 games with this deck around rank 10, but that certainly isn't stopping you from pushing it further!

Crafting this deck is a bit steep, at 9000 dust, a number which is greatly reduced if you already have popular legendaries such as Dr. Boom and Ragnaros the Firelord.

Check out the deck below, and head on to the incredible, and beautiful, guide that Hakai put together for Nitrodin. If you're ever looking for inspiration for your deck guide formatting, you should keep this deck bookmarked, and even give Deathwinglock a look!
