MADNESS AT THE DARKMOON FAIRE
HEARTHSTONE’S NEWEST EXPANSION
Pre-purchase for Madness at the Darkmoon Faire will go live with the 18.6 patch at ~10:00 a.m. PT on 10/22.
Come one, come all...
...to the Darkmoon Faire, Azeroth’s one and only traveling carnival! Bear witness to supernatural wonders, spectacular performances, and exotic beasts! Sample a dazzling array of sweet and savory treats from around the world, discover rare treasures at our enchanting night market, or perhaps have your fortune read under the watchful orange eye of Darkmoon’s iconic midway gate!
Ignore the ugly rumors you may hear about friendly and exuberant faire-folk! Many guests, overcome with excitement and joy, may report seeing strange or unusual things. Pay them no heed! Ignore the whispers! Come for the wholesome fun and stay. . . forever.
Madness at the Darkmoon Faire will launch worldwide on November 17 with 135 new collectible cards! You can find the full schedule for card reveals and see which cards were announced today by visiting the card library here. Check back frequently—the list will be updated with new cards as they’re revealed!
Return of the Old Gods
The Old Gods—C’thun, N’Zoth, Yogg-Saron, and Y’Shaarj—are back! Each Old God drives a different deck archetype and has a potent Battlecry capable of turning the tide of a match. They’ve really embraced the festivities—take Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate, whose Battlecry lets you spin the Darkmoon Wheel if you’ve cast 10 spells this game!
Players can also tamper with Old God artifacts: four ancient spells with zany effects that hearken back to the abilities of the original Old God designs! Keep your eyes on the card library as we’ll be revealing these artifacts soon.
New Keyword: Corrupt
Madness at the Darkmoon Faire introduces a new Keyword: Corrupt! Corrupt cards upgrade in your hand after you play a higher cost card. Plan ahead and upgrade your Corrupt cards before playing them for a major payoff!
New Game Mode: Duels
With the announcement of Madness at the Darkmoon Faire, we’re pleased to reveal a new game mode we’re releasing alongside it—Duels! Duels mixes the fun of a Dungeon Run with the excitement of head-to-head competition. In Duels, you’ll choose a Hero, a Hero Power, a signature Treasure, and build a 15-card starter deck from your collection before facing off against a series of worthy human opponents. Between each match, you’ll level up your deck by adding minions, spells, and powerful Treasures! You’ll get early access to Duels when you pre-purchase Madness at the Darkmoon Faire. Learn more about Duels in our announcement blog here!
Progression & Rewards Revamp
On top of the new expansion and game mode, we’ve completely overhauled our progression and rewards systems! Set to be Hearthstone’s biggest systems update ever, the progression revamp includes 4 major parts:
- The addition of an Achievements System that tracks your in-game accomplishments.
- A central Reward Track for all earnable rewards outside of Ranked play.
- A Quest Revamp that supports daily and weekly quests.
- An updated Profile Page with player info, ranks, and stats.
You’ll be able to access each of these pages by clicking on a new Journal icon that will replace the Quest Log on the main menu. The Progression & Rewards revamp will go live on November 12, read more about it in our deep dive blog here!
Year of the Phoenix Phase 3
Madness at the Darkmoon Faire marks the final phase of the Year of the Phoenix. In Phase 3, you can expect several major updates, including balance patches, new Battlegrounds Heroes and minions, a seasonal event, and what was previously spell-locked—updates for Duels, a Mini-Set of 35 cards set for release before the next expansion, and another new game mode! We’ll have more details to share on these developments in the new year!

5% of the time blizzard is an incompetent balancing team
Well met, moron.
The mods ban the only people that care about this site literal morons
This game is way too expensive now.
I bought both pre-orders won 9 duels got six more free packs in 20 minutes and I can’t wait to spend some of the 85k dust I’ll have on making the old gods all golden.looks like duels will be dominated by people with full collections like me that can take advantage of the ridiculous mechanics. With nothing left for me to win this new dice rolling expansion looks pretty sick. Can’t wait to make those tier one decks solid gold and roll that new “people with money” tavern pass. Nothing like getting paid to play while I’m hard at work ...ah at work...hahaha.
Only 37 comments for a new HS Expansion ?!? :D xD
Claiming that the game is dying is an understatement. Rarely anyone sane is hyped up to get asked to Activi$ion's / Bobby Kotick's Cashier to receive new content YET AGAIN !!! (after that last cosmetic bundle just about fvcking 2 weeks ago !!)
Between Classic and Naxx, and Yolomance Academy and this one intervals when you get asked to pay for cosmetics and new cards have DRAMATICALLY shortened. Next year they will surely add back 3 adventures in between the expansions AND add weekly Cosmetic bundles on TOP of it to further ensure your financial ruin so you can receive your latest Drugs. I mean thats what it all is really, they are praying on it to be an Addiction. Addiction equals money. Thats Activi$ion's entire Busine$$ model in a Nutshell. It IS ruthless and Evil.

(*a happy Activision CEO paying xskarma and other Moderators here to attract more paying clients / gamers)
Is everybody blind to this MADNE$$ ??!?!? NOPE THANKFULLY NOT, AS 37 COMMENTS WITHIN 24 HOURS PROVE.
Theres just one way out of this dilemma, is to BOYKOTT paying for this game entirely, until they removed the Option to farm Gold, and then we'll just deinstall the game once they do, until they decide they made a MISTAKE by pushing further and further their Greedy atrocious Pay2Win Scheme, and revert everything and apologize to the community for getting out of their Minds with their Greedyness, and dramatically reduce the Costs for everything, and give back way more FREE content.
Afterall, in HS here is NOTHING to win, no money prices in Hearthstone at all, just "PAY TO HAVE "FUN" or rather Pay to meet your daily Netdecker Opponents OTK'ing you because the Game isn't bugfree and NEVER will ! Its exploitable TOTALLY ON PURPOSE !
So they can fix and nerf cards later, AFTER THE FACT they sold these overpowered Cards to us.
The shadyness is so transparent and obvious.
Nerds, if its not obvious to ya'll by now then it never will. Time to move on in Life and do something productive....
The addicted Clients are disgruntledly downvoting and ignoring the TRUTH, no surprise there. Sheeps are MEANT to get led to the Slaughterhouse afterall.
Well good thing its not MY money, have fun wasting your Life's, burning money and getting OTK'ed after Transaction came thru, and getting NOTHING but insulted by "Adders" after spending hundreds hours for reaching Legendary Top 100.
or maybe people just think you're being an autistic sperg

4 billion and thats back in 2018 when HS was still manageable.
So a cosmetic bundle we were forced to buy to keep playing I agree was just wrong oh wait that didn't happen as for a set being released a ccg need 3+ sets a year to keep interest flowing as is shown in nearly ever successful ccg can show you need a shifting meta to stall boredom in the players im not saying activsion is not garbage because they are look at the CoD franchise for proof there lol
Silas, You motherfather, I knew You'll appear in hs. Glad to see ya!
Now, serious comment. There are rumours that Silas is 5th old god. For example, one of ghosts who's on Darkmoon isle says that he met Silas in Strom... Strom doesn't exist for 1200 years and gnomes in WoW lives as long as humans... Maybe comeback of old gods in this expansion is confirmation of that? :D Whatever the truth is, I love this announcement.
40 euro for the win of bugs. Blizz win. What is Blizzard ? Some dudes destroyed Blizz. I remember a bug free company. Beautiful times. Times fly.
I think Mike Morhaime does agree.
I tried Google Translate and I still can't figure out what the hell this is saying.
Ah, the hot new meme combo: Demon Hunter with Yogg.
Take Blur, and pray for roasting. 5% of the time, it wins every time.
genius
The icon reminds me of the Grand Tournament. Maybe it will be a tournament mode (it was confirmed on Reddit that there will be something new - not only Duels!)The new C'Thun is going to be deadly in my Sudderwock deck
Why are there always people who cry like babies when new, innovative changes come? My God! Go back to kindergarten and let your mothers change you and just stop playing before you drown in your tears.
Great job blizzard !!!
yes! I too love all of the new changes made by blizzard, I'm excited for the game to be shaken up a bit :D
Okay, so now can we finally get rid of lackeys?
