Patch Live - 18 Card Buffs, 1 Card Nerf, SN1P-SNAP, New Card Backs
A new patch is now live on Hearthstone featuring card buffs, a nerf, and a new legendary minion.
- The Boomsday Project has received a new legendary card, SN1P-SN4P. All players are getting this card for free, in gold!
- Reckless Experimenter can no longer reduce cards below a cost of 1. It is eligible for a full dust refund for 2 weeks.
- 18 cards from The Boomsday Project have received buffs. Details below.
- Two new card backs, a seasonal one and one rewarded from the "Masters Bundle".
Masters Bundle - Featuring a New Shaman Hero!
Purchasing the Hearthstone Masters Bundles gets you:
- 10 Rise of Shadows Packs
- 10 Rastakhan's Rumble Packs
- 1 Stolen Thunder Card Back
- 1 Thunder King Shaman hero (Lei Shen!)
You can buy the bundle online and in-game.
Arena Rotation Updated
The Hearthstone Arena has rotated! Here are the current expansions that are playable in the Arena.
- Classic
- Basic
- Goblins vs Gnomes
- The Grand Tournament
- One Night in Karazhan
- The Boomsday Project

New Card Backs
Two new card backs have been added.
- Shado-pan Card Back
- Long ago, this card back took up its sacred duty to keep negative emotions from overrunning your board. Though mysterious, it is highly effective.
- Rewarded for July 2019 Ranked Play
- Stolen Thunder
- The hardest part of stealing thunder is getting away with it quietly.
- Sourced from an upcoming "authorized promotion".
- The patch notes state this is rewarded for "purchasing the Masters Bundle"
Matchmaking Improvements
- We've implemented a new feature to reduce chances of matching against the same player and same class multiple times in a row. Some exceptions may occur when players have few matchmaking options near their rank.
- Match quality should be improved for players in ranks 25 – 21.

Well this is weird. I just bought the bundle on the website. Got in game on my iPhone and opened my packs, got zero legendaries meh. Then I went to find SNIPSNAP and he’s not in my collection? And I went to add Lei shen to my shaman portrait and he isn’t there either despite me just buying the bundle.
the patch is buggy. you can't log on EU properly neither. We got our Sn1p Sn4p though. I built a few decks with him, but haven't even gotten to play the card yet because of the instability.
hopefully they will fix it soon... but then again if it persists, we will probably get free packs. (silver linings)
Another shaman hero skin, how boring.
I mean, these bugs are a legit way to kill all the hype around the buffs. feelsEUman
My Heist wins etc are all screwed up as well, I had runs complete with 3 classes on ch 4 which I had screenshots of cause the warrior bomb deck was kind of insane and today it is gone? and I had a final battle with druid and it showed a different boss at the start I think Kizi but I fought flark, not sure what to do... started a new run and it is borked
P.S. So double checked all the chapters and the ones I had completed 1-3 are all showing incorrect, classes I had won with are wiped...
One may say that everything work as intended, for instance, the lackeys are not generated today, just like when revealed.
Welp the patch has completely messed up Dalaran Heist - it's showing the Completion Crown for every class on every chapter, even those I haven't actually beaten. Also it shows every boss as Marei Loom before the match, then the real boss once the match starts. Awesome patch Blizz!
Found this on the official forums for anyone wondering about the Heist issues:
Hey everyone,
We wanted to make you all aware of an issue being introduced with today’s (6/3) update that will affect chapters 2-5 of The Dalaran Heist. We are actively working on a fix, and hope to have something out later this week to address the following:
** This is a visual only issue, progress is still being tracked appropriately.
** Like the crowns, this is a visual issue only.
Thank you for your patience.
I do not see that Android has received the patch yet.
I haven't received the iOS patch yet. Last patch I have is from May 15th..
Are servers down just in EU or is it a general thing?
EU is down, the other servers seem to be working fine.
Did not receive cards. Bundle not available in store. Hmmm
I finally managed to login after several attempts. However, don't try to play a SN1P-SN4P deck with HDT active. I tried, HDT started to ate up all the resources on my computer, crashed, and made HS crash. (And now HS times out again when I try to reconnect. FML.)
So my laptop updated while IOS is sitting here twiddling its thumbs.
I wish we could disenchant the SnipSnap card.. So i could finish other decks
well then, P.O.G.O now is OP in the adventure, expecially heroic mode, pogo hoppers every turn discounted to 0 it escalates quickly
I've heard that all Lackey generator cards are bugged ATM. EVIL Genius FeelsBadMan.
Well, I can't even connect right now. Looks like EU servers can't handle the load, again...
Getting about real sick and fucking tired of new heroes being pay-walled.
