Official Patch Notes
Quote from BlizzardIn this update we’re preparing the Tavern for the arrival of that monarch of the melee, King Rastakhan, and his riotous rabble of rowdy retainers in Rastakhan’s Rumble! We’ve also got gifts for our friends, new Classic cards, download improvements, bug fixes, and more!
Read on for details!
Thus update is currently live for PC and Mac, and will become available on mobile in the coming hours.
Pre-Purchase Rastakhan’s Rumble!
Pre-purchase one or both bundles and make sure your team is ready to throw down when Rastakhan’s Rumble releases starting December 4!
King Rastakhan won’t just be hosting the Rumble, he’ll be brawling with the best of them! When you pre-purchase this bundle, you’ll get 50 Rastakhan’s Rumble card packs, the Ready to Rumble card back, AND the new Shaman Hero: King Rastakhan!
For more budget-minded brawlers, this bundle offers 17 Rastakhan’s Rumble card packs and the Ready to Rumble card back.
100 Million Players
There are more guests in the Tavern than ever before, but there’s always room for more!
Join us by logging into Hearthstone from November 7 – November 11, play with friends, and be gifted with tokens of our appreciation!
- Get SIX The Boomsday Project card packs just for logging in.
- Celebrate the Players Quests. Everyone who logs in will receive a quest to play against a friend in any mode for 100 gold. This quest is repeatable up to five times for a total of 500 gold!
- Unlike Challenge a Friend, only players with this quest in their log will receive the gold, so make sure you log in and get the quest!
New Classic Cards
The following cards can now be crafted or opened in Classic card packs:
Added the following card backs:
- Ready to Rumble – Acquired from a Rastakhan’s Rumble pre-purchase bundle.

Gameplay Improvements & Bug Fixes
- Small-Time Buccaneer now correctly gains +2 Attack if its stats were swapped by Void Ripper.
- Deathrattles on replaced weapons now trigger at the same time as minions in play are destroyed, so Powermace will no longer “save” minions destroyed by Blood Razor’s Battlecry.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when Lesser Jasper Spellstone and Bomb were drawn by Ultimate Infestation.
- Reduced the delay on reactivating Deathstalker Rexxar’s Build-a-Beast when Coldarra Drake or Garrison Commander are in play.
- Fixed an issue with Valeera the Hollow's Shadow Reflection sometimes playing its audio cue twice.
- Fixed an issue where canceling matchmaking could result in a fatal error and failure to connect to a game you would otherwise have been matched to.
- The season reward chest in the quest log now correctly displays the highest rank achieved, rather than current rank.
- When searching for Wild cards while building Standard decks in the collection manager, the message now reads “Results found in Wild Sets”.
- Fixed an issue that could cause returning players to become “stuck” at Finding an Opponent.
- Fixed an issue with the in-game Shop scaling on high resolution monitors.
- Fixed various visual issues with Deck Recipes, the Friend List, and New Player Ranks.
- [Mobile] Fixed issues with cards created by Fal'dorei Strider and Deck of Wonders appearing offscreen on some mobile devices.
- [Android] Hearthstone now displays correctly on OnePlus6 devices.
That's just factually wrong. I have spent less than $50 on the game since i started many years ago. I have all the cards needed including the legendary's. I don't buy any cards when a new expansion comes out as i routinely have between 8-10K gold depending on how much i arena between expansions. Just be smart and don;t spend pointlessly while taking advantage of every bonus they give you and over time you will have what you need.
It generally lasts two weeks till the launch, so do the math backwards and there you go :)
Pretty weak pre-order bonus compared to WW or Boomsday, expected a Rogue, Priest or Hunter hero instead of another shaman one we already got Hagatha that is fairly new.
The shaman hero is actually a new hero portrait. Similar to sir-annoy-o that was released. I am pretty sure that they have confirmed that there is at least a new Hunter hero... However who knows if several will be released. Only non-hero, non-loa legendary we have seen is mage. So they aren't getting a hero. Other than that Shrug
No its been confirmed within the What's Next panel. If you check it out, the presenter says it. I didn't know that it has been officially stated that there's only one though.
You know because Hunter needs a new hero card. Rexxar is such a terrible hero and Uther is so broken. /sigh
Smart people save up gold at least 3 months in advance to purchase packs when the expansion is coming out.
Do your daily quests and get easily 1500 gold/month. After 3 months you'll have 45 packs, for free. No need to complain that it's all about the money. Either be smart or spend money. - Or both - just stop complaining about prices no matter where you're from.
At least 4 months :v
im gathering gold since august 7.
I don't even make dailies now. lvl 25, play 5 games/month and craft all new cards from dust you played before. I have more than 120k dust left, completely f2p, have most legendaries golden. Why do you even need to buy something in this game?
Game isn't dying whatsoever. Learn to have some gratitude and grow up.
6 packs and 500g? thanks Blizzard :-)
i really hope that the golden animation is only disabled for a few days like at any other patches before. if it‘s disabled forever it would be horrible! has anyone information about this???
There should be one in the settings, I personally don't play on mobile so I can't check for sure, but I've heard that there is a thing there you can do to re enable them.
What is Reforged?
I believe he's talking about wow but correct me if I'm wrong.
Would have been nice to know a few days ahead ,10 days ago i opened the new welcome bundle ... , i mean how hard is it to give a heads up "Hey you know those hall of fame cards we moved ,we will be releasing replacements for them around the time of blizzcon this year"
"Next month" for Blizzard could mean anytime between next week and 11 months from now.
Card that move to Hall of fame like Ice Block , do we get the full dust back?? Since, I have three ice block, its a sudden change so I don't manage to notice it... Thanks Guys..
Ice Block moved to hall of fame a while ago. If you own a Hall of Fame card before it moves it you get full dust refund and keep the card. However after it moves the price and dust of the card is still the same.
60 packs and 10,000g for free or I will never play again Blizzard!!!
