Quote from BlizzardA new Hearthstone update has just arrived, featuring the “Doom in the Tomb” Hallow’s End event, Wild cards temporarily returning to Standard, portrait rewards for dedicated Hearthstone players, and much more!
New Event - Doom in the Tomb!
Pack your torches and latch your helmets, Heroes. The Headless Horseman has infiltrated Uldum’s deserted desert tombs, outfitted himself with powerful relics, and has set his sights on besting the battling Leagues! The new Doom in the Tomb event starts today, October 8, and will last until October 30. Here’s what’s in store:
- Week 1: Doom in the Tomb, Part 1
Gear up with your favorite member from the League of E.V.I.L and delve into the Haunted Temple, full of the baddest bosses in Uldum! The clock is running, too – race to set the record for the fastest Temple run!
- Rewards
- Complete a run in under 1 hour and earn a Rastakhan’s Rumble Card Pack.
- Complete a run in under 40 minutes to earn a Golden Common Ancient Mysteries!
- Week 2: Doom in the Tomb, Part 2
E.V.I.L has their turn, and now it’s up to Reno and the League of Explorers to join the run and flex their Temple diving speed. New enemies and challenges await!
Rewards
- Complete a run in under 1 hour and receive a Golden Common Temple Berserker
- Complete a run in under 40 minutes to earn a Golden Rare Generous Mummy
- Week 3: The Haunted Carousel
Get ready for the big mix-up! In this Tavern Brawl, you’ll need to strategize around minions constantly rotating board positions – all while controlling the Horseman’s time-shifted Dreadsteeds!
Rewards
- Summon 100 Dreadsteeds to earn a Rise of Shadows Card Pack
Dual-Class Heroes
The Dual-Class Arena Hallow’s Eve dress-up party is back! When you start an Arena run during the Doom in the Tomb event, you’ll choose a Hero, then a Hero Power, and card offerings will feature cards from BOTH of those classes, in addition to neutral cards.
- Players who have an active Arena run when this begins will have their current run ended and will receive an Arena Ticket as compensation.
- To ensure that players have a chance to try out this devilish dual-class deck-building dress-up party, anyone who logs in during each of the first two weeks will receive one Arena Ticket per week!
- This event coincides with our normal Arena rotation. The new Arena sets in rotation are as follows:
- Curse of Naxxramas
- Goblins vs. Gnomes
- Blackrock Mountain
- The Grand Tournament
- League of Explorers
- Whispers of the Old Gods
- One Night in Karazhan
- Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
- Journey to Un'Goro
- Knights of the Frozen Throne
- Kobolds & Catacombs
Hex & Flex Bundles
Hex Bundle
- If you thought the League of E.V.I.L. was securely under wraps, think again! Arch-Villain Rafaam has leveraged his lackeys and put together the Hex Bundle, 20 Rise of Shadows card packs and a random Rise of Shadows Legendary card at the discounted price of $19.99 USD.
Flex Bundle
- Reno’s vest just doesn’t have room for bulging biceps AND stacks of card packs. That’s why he’s whipped together the Flex Bundle! Get 20 Saviors of Uldum packs and a random Saviors of Uldum Legendary card at the discounted price of $19.99 USD.
Standard Shake-Up
Starting with today’s patch and lasting until our next major update, 23 cards from across Hearthstone history are temporarily stepping out of Wild and back into Standard. To ensure that everyone can participate in this meta-mixing event, we’ll be granting everyone free copies of each card (these copies cannot be disenchanted or crafted) so they can add these heavy-hitters to their decks and get straight into the action. These cards will be considered "event" cards, which essentially means that they're temporary copies and not permanent additions to your collection. Even if you already own the cards you'll still receive these event copies, and when the event ends they'll disappear.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While these cards were re-introduced during the Doom in the Tomb event, they will remain in Standard past the event's conclusion, until the launch of our next major update. More details will be shared, including exact end dates and times, in the coming weeks.

God Rexxar looks so derpy :D
Shame I won't be playing.
what should have been a very fun and cool hearthstone day ruined by bad game designers
u have a bad day?
These are mostly absolute shit. Jaina, Thrall, and Anduin look great the rest are like wtf. You make Anduin and Jaina look like they do from BFA and literally no one else. Of course some of those characters are dead so Gul'dan is alright, Rexxar is utter garbage, Uther almost looks undead, Warrior should be Varok Saurfang, Malfurion should be in bear form or something, Thrall looks like he just escaped Durnholde and met up with Ogrim, and Valeera looks like she joined the bloodsail.
Should have been:
Current Thrall or Zekhan for Shaman
Arator the Redeemer or Turalyon for Paladin
Spy Master Shaw or Lillian Voss for Rogue
Varok Saurfang or Genn Greymane (human) for warrior
Hamuul Runetotem for druid
Maybe void Alleria for hunter
Team 5 What the absolute fuck are you thinking? You have a chance to excite players all over again who don't have 1000 wins with each character to try to achieve a cool new skin and you give us shit. For the players that already have 1000 wins with each utter disappointment. Whoever these children are on team 5 must not know anything about the actual game of Warcraft that they did a standard search on google for each character and took someone else's custom art.
Fuck this
The whole point is to give updated portraits of the original 9 heroes, so I don't understand why you're mentioning all these other characters. I've never played any other Blizzard game, so I would much rather have a new portrait of a hero I'm already attached to as a 1000 win reward than some random character from a game I've never cared about.
Besides, don't you dare insult daddy Uther!
Is it just me, or did the patch bork something? Innkeeper no longer syncs, and HDT locks and freezes.
Have same problem
Very disappointing that the new portraits don't have new voice lines. Also why no golden cards to go along with the regular versions on these cards?
Thrall, Gul'dan and Uther look cool. The rest are shit
Actually i wuite like Rexxar's little derp face
Jaina's evolution from porn star to ugly duckling is finally complete. Thanks Blizzard.
Is almost like there is this thing called space perspective and artistic styles, crazy I know.
For me, Uther and Thrall are looking really great. They feel more serious than others and "real".
One of the nicest events they ever did back to back with the worst they ever did (Blitzchung). Blizzard, why did you have to suck Chinas teats?
Damn these hero skins are like my last minute homework at school, i mean I did something but its still bs.
Is it possible to choose not to wear those 1k portraits? I would never switch to those Garrosh and Rexxar
Yes it's possible, i had to manually set my new unlocked King Anduin as my favorite to play with it.
All the portraits besides Gul’dan and Valeera look like shit. I mean, I don’t even own a Golden hero yet, and I was like ‚oh bother, I’d have to grind FOREVER for these new amazing heroes’... until now. Alternate portraits from events or bundles are much, much better.
Did Valeera get nerfed too?
