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.
- Frostwolf – Acquired from winning fives games in Ranked Play, December 2018.
- Good Cheer – Acquired from a special promotion.

Download Improvements - We’ve continued making improvements to the mobile Hearthstone app.

- To improve performance, downloads are now paused while in a match.
- Phones now use lighter weight card art to reduce app size.
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.
You were probably one of those aggro rogues or spreading plague users anyways
Lots of free stuff + unusually weak pre-order bonus = best pre-order to skip for years.
Hopefully, the set will be fun though. Boomsday and WW were quite disappointing. And who doesn't love reveal season? It's the best.
New hero included with the regular packs is weak? I dunno, seems tempting to me. Is the price per pack worse than usual? (And I do mean usual, not just compared to a particularly good deal from one set.)
It’s just a cosmetic AFAIK, not a hero card (like Haggatha).
if i am not mistaken rastakhan isn't a hero card
I mean I don't like it thematic wise which is why I'm skipping it (more of a mech and boomsday type of guy). But you still got to admit the preorder bonus is still pretty strong compared to before.
Yeah, I edited my comment several minutes before you replied. For some reason it was still incorrectly showing as "hero card" to you, I guess.
Sweet! Are packs being super generous this morning? Purchased 4 and got a legendary, 2 epics (one the new mage spell, the other golden), a rare I wanted and a golden common.
Very happy.
Probably not, but I also opened a legendary, two epics and a golden rare.
Also quite happy.
You mentioned all the cards that see some play in constructed, up to tier 4-5.
Even then, these are just 46 cards, barely 1/3 of the expansion.
Then 1/3 of the expansionmust be tier 1? Or rather every single card must belong to an estabilished archetype so it's played. Thenall the cards would be played. The hs team walks a thin line between powercreep ans boring expansions. Compare the amount of boomsday cards played to the amount of cards from another expansions. It's around the same, because they avoided printing cards that are too strong
If all of the expansion was widely used it would be a ridiculously strong expansion or one lacking varying power levels.
Sorry if it's been mentioned already but when will the reveal season start?? I miss refreshing my phone every hour
Community reveals are expected to begin around 19th if their usual schedule is valid for this reveal season, but at least last time they revealed some cards in their own blogs even before that. Stay alert at 19:00 CET/13:00 EST/10:00 PST (their usual blog time) every weekday.
new expansion hype, free packs and I get my card back. unexpected bonus
I'm gonna go with AWESOME ! absolutely awesome, fantastic, hardcore sweet !
Much love and many thanks.
