Season 3 Ends Early Next Week

It's that time again, here's your reminder to Hit Rank 20 before the end of the season if you want your very own Colors of the Rainbow card back. Season 3 will be ending at 11:59 PM on Monday, June 30th, so make sure you login and finish your grind if you haven't already. It also wouldn't hurt to gain a few extra ranks to get those extra bonus stars. Additionally, the top 16 participants on the NA and EU ladders will receive an invite to the Hearthstone World Championship Qualifier.

We do not know which card back we will be getting for July ranked participation, but hopefully details will be coming forth in the next week.

Fireside Gathering Tournaments - July Qualifier Weekend

Next weekend, during the fourth of July weekend, a number of Fireside Gatherings will be taking place that will be running Blizzard sanctioned tournaments that will give participants a chance to earn a spot in the Hearthstone World Championship Qualifiers. Winners of these tournaments will get to compete in an online ZOTAC Pre-Qualifier, which will reward the winner with a spot in their regional qualifiers.

Quote from Blizzard

What’s even better than hotdogs and hamburgers? Hearthstone!

Join us at a Fireside Gathering this weekend—it’s easy to find one in your area or you can host one of your own.

Deck Spotlight: New Order Midrange Shaman

In today's deck spotlight we're taking a look at ReapyIrrwish's New Order Midrange Shaman. Reapy has used this deck to obtain Legend ranking on the ladder, and has used his experience with it to give us guidance on how some of the more popular match ups work in his deck guide. If you aren't able to create the entire deck, some worthy replacement cards have been provided to tone down the total cost while keeping the power high.

The base deck has a crafting cost of 4860 arcane dust, and includes two legendaries. Check out the deck guide for more information.
