The first day of the new month, and a new Season! This is the 129th Ranked Season, and we are in the midst of The Great Dark Beyond, with the first big Balance patch already behind us.
This season sees the Masters Tour Winter Championship taking place from December 13th through 15th!
This means there's no qualifying on ladder for the time being. News about the plans for Hearthstone Esports will likely follow in the new year.
Good luck in this Meta and see you on ladder!
Twist Season
There is a new Twist season in December, with another go at the Wonders format from last year. It will go live with the 31.2 Patch this week on Tuesday, December 3rd.
Quote from BlizzardTwist Schedule Update
Twist is returning in December with Patch 31.2, the first major content patch after the next expansion launch. It will return for three consecutive seasons based on the Wonders format, so that anyone who missed it the first time will have another chance to experience the twists. More information about the specific rules of each individual season will be shared closer to launch.
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 Gnomeregan Cardback reward for the December 2024 season. You will need 5 ranked ladder wins in December 2024 to get it. "Gnomeregan: There's nothing like the winter frost nipping at your gnomes."

who knows when there will be a mini set?
Sometime in January
Twist not live until Tuesday's patch... I might be the only one here, but I was looking forward to that today. I really hope they realize how dumb it is to have the mode off for so long and maybe overhaul it with more ideas that can be implemented month to month to keep it on. Even if some months are just old Standard metas like "Year of the X" month. Or even setting Twist up to basically be "Classic" again for a month here and there. It seems like it would be so easy to do that, or to set up a Brawl Block style month with Legacy + 3 to 5 other card sets. But nope! Forget that! Just pretend it doesn't exist.
Its been 10 years since GvG release. This cardback is not by an accident.
This is all we get at 10 years from GvG expansion, a cardback to remind you about it and maybe a tavern brawl... xD
@Magott
They did give the players many packs, skins, and free cards through Twitch drops and in-game events for the 10th anniversary.
What more do you want?
