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.

Aaaaaa.... so many rewards. Wowowow! Thanks hearthstone
That Rexxar new potrait is perfect for his player
These 1k portraits look like a joke to me.
I was hoping they would at least replace golden hero powers with something more unique, I guess it would take too much work for them to care, especially when they have to manage their time between bowing to the Chinese government and making people not quit the game for good.
Rexxar looks like he’s trying to figure out how his bow works. Seriously, the arrow isn’t even close to straight.
Ah ok, but the 544 are only arena wins. But to be sure what you meant, these 544 arena wins are already among the ranked win counters shown in Play mode?
Yes they are. Say you have 100 ranked wins and 200 arena wins, the counter will show 300. There arent any separate counters, only the general ''wins in arena'' thing in your questlog. For all classes combined.
Kinda disappointing imo. I think there are a lot of players like me who would love to see their arena wins per class. :/
For the 1000 wins portrait It says ranked or arena wins, so i thought it means combined wins of these two modes.
I have 544 arena wins on my main sever, but i didn't notice any significant increase in wins shown under my classes in ranked mode.
My question is now, is it kinda buggy OR do arena wins not count towards the golden portrait at 500 wins OR do you just not see your combined wins of ranked and arena?
Arena wins have counted towards golden heroes for several months now, so the 544 you see is already ranked + arena for you.
Why is Valeera a pirate?
please all include Chief Inspector so secret pally doesnt become popular again
Can tell you right now that flamewalker is cancer.
For real. Don't know why they brought that garbage back.
Look, I'm hyped for the new hero skins. But, 1000 wins seems a bit steep for me, as I've yet to get anywhere close to the 500 wins required for golden portraits. And if that's not enough, my least played ranked class, warrior, has (in my opinion) the coolest new skin.
Sorry, 1000 win portraits are not for noobs or filthy casuals :)
Y'all can keep your waifus, I just want Daddy Uther!
It's the tavern brawl tomorrow, you can't do it yet.
That's a Tavern Brawl that will go live tomorrow. Check back at the usual Tavern Brawl time then. We will have news post up for it and everything.
yet a "disable animations" feature is still not available in game
because they're part of the game and it will never happen
