Disappearing Naxxramas Wings
If you're a victim of the disappearing Naxxramas Wings bug, which also got rid of your Naxx cards from that wing, try restarting your client. If that doesn't work, Daxxarri would like you to respond to this thread on the Battle.net forums.
Quote from DaxxarriIt has come to our attention that after today’s patch was applied, some players appear to be missing a wing of Naxxramas that they previously owned. We’re currently investigating the situation, but closing your Hearthstone client completely, and re-opening it can resolve the issue for most affected players.
If restarting your client does not resolve the issue, please let us know by posting in this thread.
Thanks in advance, and we apologize for any confusion that this might have caused.
Hearthstone Patch 4.0.1.2015
Patch notes are up for the latest Hearthstone patch. New seasonal card back, Ninjas, Unleash the Hounds now with new breeds, and Wisps are now 2 mana. Read all the changes below!
Quote from BlizzardIn this Hearthstone patch, we’re adding a new seasonal card back and have introduced some minor changes and bug fixes.
The full patch notes are below!
General
- The following card back has been added:
- Classic Card Back: Remastered—We’ve re-visited the Classic Hearthstone card back and have given it a painstaking HD update. Acquire the new card back by reaching Rank 20 during the Ranked Play season.
- We’ve implemented a new card type, Ninjas, which ALWAYS beat Pirate cards!
- We’ve added a new feature called Harrison Jones’ Museum! Accessing it will allow you to gaze proudly upon all the weapons you’ve put in the museum, where they belong.
- Mistress of Pain has turned over a new leaf and is now called Mistress of Uncomfortableness.
- Crush has been renamed to Big Gross Demon Foot.
- Card packs can now be opened by blowing gently on the screen.
- Alexstrasza will no longer say anything upon being played because she’s tired of being misunderstood.
- Cogmaster no longer spits, because let’s be honest, that’s pretty gross.
- Leeroy Jenkins will now whisper his name upon being played in accordance with mandatory workplace etiquette classes.
- Sludge Belcher has taken some antacids and now feels great!
- Upon playing Unleash the Hounds, players will be taken to a menu that allows them to choose the exact breed of their hounds—with over 100 options!
- Snowchugger is now an 8/8 because it’s too cute and people are not taking it seriously enough.
- After many bouts with brain freeze, Snowchugger now eats snow at a more reasonable rate.
- Annoy-o-Tron now says “GOODBYE, GOODBYE, GOODBYE” upon being slain.
- Sorcerer’s Apprentice has graduated to Sorcerer’s Adept. All those long hours hitting the books finally paid off!
- A Lost Tallstrider has been found. If it’s yours, please visit lost and found to claim it.
- Recycle now provides the Responsible Citizen buff to Malfurion when cast.
- After sensitivity training, Ancient of Lore, Ancient of War, and Ancient Mage will now be known as Senior Citizen of Lore, Senior Citizen of War, and Harold respectively.
- Savage Roar now also turns off squelch and removes the cooldown on emotes.
- Naturalize now causes Zombie Chow and Poison Seeds to be all-natural, vegan, and gluten free.
- Hunter’s Mark has been renamed Hunter’s George.
- Mark of the Wild has been renamed George of the Wild.
- Mark of Nature has been renamed George of Nature.
- We like George more than Mark. Mark still owes us $20.
- The spell Blizzard now causes enemy minions to attack Soon™.
- A new Hearthstone mini-series was in the works titled “Portrait: The Last Spellbender,” but everything changed when the Fireball attacked.
- To make things more convenient, Tirion Fordring will now silence himself when summoned.
- Circle of Healing has been renamed Oval of Healing upon discovery that Hearthstone boards are not circular.
- Fixed a bug with Thoughtsteal where playing it would sometimes fail to steal your opponent’s best cards.
- Two new Shaman spell cards have been added—Snap and Pop.
- Armorsmith has finally finished that chest plate she’s been working on this whole time. Whew!
- Pirates will now always beat the new Ninja sub-type, because Pirates are obviously better.
- Leper Gnome now feels better, and will be known simply as Gnome. He would however still like to receive big hugs, please.
- Several cards have completed their anger management training, have been renamed accordingly:
- Grumbling Worgen
- Magma Kvetcher
- Disgruntled Chicken
- Mildly Annoyed Scientist
- Somewhat Perturbed Bomber
- Slightly More Perturbed Bomber
- Azure Drake has been renamed Blue Drake because no one says “Azure” correctly.
- Blade Flurry has been renamed Blade Furry, and now equips the Rogue with a 1/5 Kitten.
- We’ve fixed a bug with Animal Companion that sometimes caused the spell to not summon Huffer.
- Snake Trap has been renamed Pug Trap and now summons 3 very excited 1/1 Pugs that wheeze very loudly.
- Playing Feign Death after playing Unleash the Hounds will now result in good dogs. Yes they are! They are such good dogs.
- Call Pet card text now reads, “Hello, this is dog.”
- Fixed an error where Skill Command was incorrectly named Kill Command. The Hunter spell will now correctly do damage based on the caster’s skill at Hearthstone.
- Anima Golem is now correctly named Animal Golem, and has been changed to a Hunter card with the following text:
- Deathrattle: Summon a 1/1 kitten for each enemy minion. It was made of KITTENS! How could you?
- After reading so much community feedback about Wisp value, the cost of Wisps has been raised to 2 mana.

I like chocolate cupcakes.
Cupcake lol
"The cake is a lie."

Cupcake cardback is DEFINITELY Blizz's April Fools for this year.
#1. They just officially revealed all adventure cards a couple of days ago, so it wouldn't be that much of a thing to just announce a card.
#2. Overwatch is yet to come to beta this year, so it wouldn't make sense to fool around games.
#3. The new cardback hasn't been announced yet on Battle.net client as it has always been.

Conclusion drawn. Operation cake is a lie.
Still no extra deck slot... :(
Oh i love the BRM board, so much stuff to do! :) They r rly stepping it up with GVG and BRM, naxx was kinda meh.
I really like the card back - not my favourite, but it's a nice little thing to have. Might use it exclusively on special events (eg. My Birthday, Christmas etc.)
Also: Happy April 1st. HEELLLLLOOOOOO!!!
I'm afraid that on your special occasions you will have to use another card back from tomorrow on... :)
Yummy?
tasty card back!
Skimping additional deck-slots is just so annoying...
HEEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Meh, ugly card back. Maybe it's because i prefer chocolate cakes. Anyway, that BRM gameboard will provide much more fun than the others just because of the remix possibilities. Something like "Oh sh**, i must stop playing DJ, it's my turn!". Rope on every turn incoming.
But it is chocolate! Under the frosting.
That does not count, xP. Im talking about 100% chocolate, moist, glistening, not that terrible sugar frosting. Ok, maybe i'm too angry over a card back just because it's not the cake i wanted, haha.
Well, you can't have the cardback you want and eat it too. ;P
What if the cupcake card back is an april fools 1 day(ish) early ?
That would be incredibly cruel, and not a very good idea imo. That said, Blizzard's April Fools jokes are always very clearly a joke, this was too serious. I think we'll see some fake cards.. maybe Gamon and Red Shirt guy will make an appearance.
If it is not I have a bad feeling about the Ninja card back :(
I think that by looking at our Avatars, we can establish what Hearthpwn's April Fools is :D (Hellllllooooooo!)
Something that awesome just has to be real. It just has to.
