The first day of the new month, and a new Season! This is the 123rd Ranked Season, and we are creeping up on the reveals of the next expansion. The events for that should start somewhere in June, as the Reward Track end date was recently changed to July 23rd, which would mean a July release for the next expansion which sets the clock ticking for the announcement and reveals!
This season WILL count towards the 2024 Hearthstone Esports events, with both the June & July Standard Ranked ladder giving points towards qualification for the Masters Tour Summer Championship!
You can read more about the Esports events and how you can participate in this article.
Good luck in this Meta and see you on ladder!
June 2024 Twist
There's a special Twist season in June, with premade decks, and legendary heroes. You can read all about it in this article from earlier this week!
Quote from BlizzardTwist returns soon for a massive new season: Whizbang’s Heroes! Jump right into the fun with one of 19 new Heroes, each with a pre-made deck and a unique Hero Power and Passive effect. It all starts when the next season begins on June 1!
What Makes a Hero?
In Whizbang’s Heroes, simply pick your Hero and play! Each Hero has three main characteristics: a pre-built deck, a unique Hero Power, and a corresponding Passive effect. Heroes can also have different life totals. The pre-built Hero decks don’t have to follow the normal deck construction rules of Hearthstone: some decks are different sizes, most decks feature a mix of cards across different classes, and many decks have no duplicates, for more varied play. Each Hero’s Hero Power and Passive effect are designed to match that character’s flavor and deck mechanics. Our goal is for each Hero to feel like a new class.
Rewards
A new month also means we all received our ranked rewards from last month. You can let us know in the comments if there was anything particularly cool you got from the reward boxes or packs!
We'll leave you with the Midsummer Cardback reward for the June 2024 season. You will need 5 ranked ladder wins in June 2024 to get it. "Midsummer: If you must play with fire, then play hard!"

Is there another REAL balance patch coming?
Permanent Plague is the biggest cancer in Hearthstone by far. No 'destroy all foreign cards' in Standard is the dumbest move ever.
Not me trying to have fun as Rafaam but seeing how other decks perform very synergistically.
I just like the guy.
Everybody has access to Leeroy right off the bat, the most broken one and everybody is playing it at lower ranks and at higher ranks lots of Arfas which is just both aspects of DK right now in standard that people really don't like playing against and feels stale to play. The funny thing is Leeroy is doing the same kind of thing decks are doing in standard and that's mana cheating and vommiting a huge board early in the game.
So basically, nothing's changed even with a completely different game mode.
Kael embodies everything I hate about mage. That's already enough for me to not want to play this game mode alone.
I agree. Twist for me should be something different from standard, and seeing the same fucking deck is nonsense for me.
Wow this Twist is even worse than wild. This over the top power level high roll style is not fun. First i encounter a Kael Thas mage that spams 8 drops on turn 5. Then i encounter a Leeroy that plays his entire hand on turn 1 and then fills his hand back up with near free draw.
Do you know that out of 19 decks, Leeroy is on the 9th place according to recent stats and Kaelthas is 11th? There are even more powerful decks in twist. This meta is temporary and made only for fun purposes.
What’s the best place to see the twist tier list?
hsguru
But almost everyone plays Arfus at higher ranks anyway
Unfunny rgb dk shines again, who knew, who knew...
the only one I dont have unlocked is best one, of course.
If I wanted to play excavate DK, Id play standard
Tell us, why is high rolling in this new format a bad thing?
Should all 19 decks be reactionary?
