Panel Recap
Quote from Hearthpwn
- Ben Thompson, Dave Kosak, and Peter Whalen are on stage.
- They're showing off the cinematic again.
- Everyone in the audience has 3D glasses.
- They wanted to do something more classic Warcraft this time around.
- "What if we do the treasure set". They were on board.
- Blingtron's Lootapalooza was the original goal of the set. Over time they didn't like that as much.
- What does the mind of the Kobold look like? You're probably single minded, direct in your thought.
- The Kobolds are building tunnels and treasure rooms!
- The new game board is themed for the kobolds. Treasure, Magical Items, and Candles.
- Lots of new clickables on the board - don't touch the candles!
- The Kobolds have been digging for thousands of years.
- It was important to keep classes distinct which made it hard to design weapons for the casters.
- Caster weapons have 0 attack. Early on they even had 0 defense.
- Some of the Artifact weapons from World of Warcraft may be making their way into Hearthstone.
- Unidentified Elixir from priests will get a random effect when drawn.
- There are three unidentified items in the game. An Elixir, a Shield, and a Weapon.
- Spellstones are cards which get upgraded as conditions are met.
- They spent a lot of time figuring out what kind of creatures Kobolds would run into.
- "Sorry mini-tauren, your day will come"
- No adventure this time around, dungeon run replaces adventure for this set.
- Battlecrys play twice against Battlecrier Jinzo
- Waxmancer Stermy can create wax minions that mimic your minions or hers. They're 1/1 clones.
- Room of Traps is a rare encounter that doesn't show up as often - it's one of the hardest encounters available.
- Two passive upgrades are given to you throughout your run to give you more power.
- Two treasures are given to you throught your run as well. They're super powerful.
- Every boss you beat has 3 piles of loot, each has 3 cards in it. You can take one pile per boss to add to your dungeon deck.
- There are 40 treasures available in total.
- There are 1.4 kobillion, or, "a lot" of combinations of runs available.

So now that we have the new Recruit keyword, some cards are gonna need their text changed.
Y'Shaarj's value is mathematically off the charts. 4 mana 10/10 neutral that casts a 6-mana Warrior spell Every turn.
Shame I’ll be playing Gwent!
am I right? :D
nobody cares about that game lol
HAHAHAHA!
No.
Alright Blizzard, here it is. Here's your chance. Nearly two years after dealing Blade Flurry one of the most savage nerfs in Hearthstone history, you finally have a shot to use all that freed up design space to give Rogue an amazing new weapon.
I just opened a golden Shadowreaper Anduin . all i need for razakus priest is velen, lyra and raza. should i hold off until this expansion? i have 10,000 dust saved up. What do you guys think? Thanks dudes
Velen and Lyra are not 100% include cards, so you can craft just raza and save the rest of your dust just in case :)
thanks man :)
Goddmanit, I want paladin cards!
And it better be control!
Or else you still have a prepurchaser!
Dont feel like you have to change to suit just my opinion!
I just need to know the cards!
Also why did you change the golden card pack from nov.2 to nov.8?
i dont like the cards
the pre order is ready https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/hearthstone-kobolds-and-catacombs
Best pre-order cardback ever.
Opponent has treasure chest
potion of madness, divine spirit x2, inner fire
easy win
That depends whether Silence Priest will still be a thing after this expansion.
Easy win if you don’t die before drawing all cards needed AND they have 0 taunts. Not saying it won’t be viable. Just not sure how consistent it would actually be.
The Coin and Barnes in turn three... comes Rin... and un turn 10 game won??
Warlocks: Not content destroying just their own hand now.
