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.
Let's just hope the long awaited 2vs2 co-op isn't going to be just a brawl thing and that they are instead going to use those brawl data to bring the real 2vs2 co-op asap.
so basically this co-op tavern brawl is against mimiron and in some form or other he has multiple stages/phases, and we as players control some NPC type thing and must work with a friend to beat it, hence the change from win to play a tavern brawl match, could be interesting.
If there's pepole saying that Hearthstone is not competitive in it's current state, imagine how it would be if those cards were in the game lol
Love the Tavern Brawl change
Agreed, most Tavern Brawls are RNG-related, sometimes you need to play like 10 games to have a chance to win and get the pack..
To be honest, I couldn't even tell the cardback was animated. Slightly disappointing cardback for this October, maybe next month will have something better!
Good riddance, patron, glad I'm not going to have to hold back my board so I don't randomly lose to OTK bullshit :D Now you can sit and stay behind on board if you don't want to play an interactive game, combo player.
1 cancer gone, 2 to go.
There is no cure for cancer
Good thing Kill the Lorewalker isn't available to players, it would make Lorewalker Cho totally unviable...
How can 3 pepole downvote this comment? Lauged so hard.
Give it a couple weeks and someone will have a viable deck that uses the new warsong commander.
No, they won't. Oh sure, maybe you can make a sort-of viable deck that can survive having a completely worthless card like Warsong Commander crammed into it without ruining it, but NO-ONE will be able to make a deck that actually uses Warsong Commander as a vital component. Because the new Warsong Commander is worthless unplayable garbage.
Its a COMMON class card. Decks shouldn't be centered around it in the first place.
Cards like this should be supportive of cards the deck actually is built around.
Warsong commander + Kor'kron +Leeroy. You can get that combo post-emperor, and that's already 12 damage.
There are still effective combos with Warsong commander.

There are still effective combos with Warsong commander. Don't be overly salty because you like to netdeck and can't think for yourself. Almost every card in the game has the potential to be used in combination with another card.
no. if warsong was a hunter card then you'd be right. but then again, raid leader or dire wolf is probably better.
It doesnt matter what card is "better". The fact is that the card can still be used.
Just because you are incapable of thinking for yourself doesn't mean everyone else will be.
Guarantee someone can make a deck with it that works. It's really not that bad, and there are a ton of charge minions that can still benefit from it.
Emperor Thaurissan is "better". That's completely irrelevant.
WTB 3 Empire Thaurassian!
Except it doesn't.
Bluegill warrior doesn't buff anything at all.
If you have more charge minions onboard, they get buffed also.
Combos also put multiple bodies on the board, whereas Bluegill Warrior is still petty.
12 damage is basically nothing for a combo, Force of Nature + Savage Roar is 14 + 2x damage, x being the number of minions on the board.
By the way, tell me, what's the point of using the new Warsong Commander instead of Raid Leader?
