The thirteenth annual pumpkin carving contest ends on October 29, so be sure to check out the contest page for rules and eligibility and get straight to slicing.
October Card Back Animation
Below you can see this month's ranked gameplay cardback in all it's animated glory. The black spots are not a bug.
I am starting to wonder if this guy is a hardcore troll. not you but the guy who is sitting there saying warsong is useable.
Just can't wait for this Tavern Brawl :3
I'm so excited to try the co-op brawls. Looking forward to not getting OTK'd by patrons. Not sure why they removed the win requirement for a free pack in brawl.
time to nerf face hunters now.
Still playing Patron Warrior on EU.
And fucking enjoying it, last chance on doing dem 29/1 29/1 Froathing Berserker Combos.
I know a lot of you won't be missing it, and I myself was cursing when losing to this ridiculous deck, but damn, I'm gonna miss it somehow...
This deck needed a lot of thinking and planning in advance, that's what I really liked about it, despite being too powerful.
R.I.P. Warsong Commander and Patron Warrior, you sure dominated this children's card game for quite a long time. :)
Co-op brawl sounds awesome.
Since Patron is off now, give us Death Wish and make Armor Warrior new Tier1.
/sarcasm
Finally
An ode to Warsong Commander and Patron Warrior.

I would like to see auto-pecker 4000 and World Flipper X-50 in the game.
Refreshment Vendor new meta! Also, wouldn't be surprised to see some weird co-op stuff happening using Shadow Madness.
You're right, it's an empty deck!
I saw one on ladder today! They were behind on board, cards and life when they conceded on turn 7.
I'm going to Overclock my rig.
Looking forward to this Tavern Brawl, even if I only play it twice.
icwutudidthar
Well, now make it to where nobody will play tavern brawl past one game.
Auto-Pecker 4000 ... OCD players would never win a single game :(
Craaaawling iiiiin my skiiiiin
In before "This Tavern Brawl sucks, I always get partnered with terrible players, Blizzard why!?!?!?!"
In all seriousness though, hype for 2 player Tavern Brawl!
Lorewalker will be an interesting with the co-op! Edit: Update seems to only be on PC; it hasn't dropped to my iPad or phone yet.
