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.

Why doesn't Blizzard consider to nerf first dr. Boom hero? Other decks don't have answers to that, each turn he can get 3 1/1, 3 damage to anyone, 1 to every enemy, 7 armor or DISCOVER a mech (infinite value) AND constant rush...that's too much, basically he's 1 turn ahead every turn.
And my earned Heroic mode card backs are "unearned" ... Why?
This is going to end in a dumpster fire. Pogo rogue is Jade Druid level of cancer with magic carpet.
Rushing Jade man into bigger rushing jade man into biggerer rushing jade man glhf.
Let's hope blizzard does what they always do and nerf the card that is not the problem. I got 5 regular and 1 golden Magic Carpet....
EU down?
guys is it worth buying the bundle? i was hoping for some boomsday packs instead of rumble,but the new hero looks nice..dunno what to do
i assume the bundle is 20 usd (i see CAD) a new hero is valued at 10 usd so the rest is up to u
but a hero portrait shouldn't cost 10 usd in my opinion....
I can't even get a match because my deck is "invalid" lol
EDIT: now cannot even log in on EU :'(
Arena is bugged, you won't get lackey from lackey cards.
Not only lackeys, Tuskarr Totemic is also bugged, it does not activate the battlecry.
Adventure is buged ... like it shows me "you are gonna face this boss" and i fight something else.
Bug: When u beat Dalaran chapter your hero gets "crown" above portrait. After this update all your heroes have crown even if u didn't use them.
Has anybody had any trouble disenchanting Reckless Experimenter? I was lucky enough to open a golden copy but I cannot DE it. It all goes well until I want to go back to browsing my collection and it's as if I didn't dust it.
Edit: I had already tried before, but I just restarted the game and this time it let me.
Nice patch i'm trying the new arena and my evil cable rat didn't give me my lackey!!!! Fix asap plz!!
I just want to spend money now!!
There is a new bundle also.
Another
$80$20 portrait LULthere are 20 packs and card back... don´t see your point there or is it better to pay 10€ for only hero and card back how it is there for like 4 years now?
