Hearthstone Patch 8036
A small patch has appeared on the Blizzard download servers which contains information about three upcoming card backs.
Blackrock Mountain - Possible New Hearthstone Adventure / Expansion
Speculation: We may be getting a Blackrock Mountain adventure / expansion. There is a string which points to a presale of it becoming available and buying it will reward you with a Molten Core card back. This may not be final, it could also be Blizzard just messing around with us. Keep that in mind!
If you are not familiar with Blackrock Mountain, it is a massive Mountain between Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge (Warcraft zones) which is home to Ragnaros, Elementals, the Dark Iron, and Nefarian. In World of Warcraft, it houses several instances and three raids, and the first Hearthstone adventure, Naxxramas, was based off a raid in World of Warcraft.

New Card Backs
Three new card backs have been datamined, but no images are present in the client at this time. It looks like Ragnaros will be an upcoming Seasonal card back, and the other two are related to achievements.
- Molten Core
- Reward From: License Detected
- Note: purchase brm presale
- Ragnaros
- Reward From: Ranked Season Play
- Golden Celebration
- Reward From: License Detected
- Note: golden celebration cardback
Historically speaking, Achievements / Rewards which trigger off a "license detection" are related to owning a game (Warlords of Draenor Collector's Edition) or ticket (BlizzCon) on your Battle.net account. We cannot say for certain how Molten Core or Golden Celebration will be obtained at this time, but Molten Core does currently point towards a content pre-sale.
Maybe new races will show up ! Such as elementals , dwarf , MOAR dragons ..... ? THE HYPE !
So will we get better RNG from Ragnaros if we play it with our Ragnaros card back equipped?
No way, that would be totally unfair and OP
How would it even figure out what "better RNG" would be? Sometimes you want it to hit there face but other times you want it to kill THEIR ragnaros!
It would just be way too unfair to people without Ragnaros, and I think there are a LOT of people out there
Can't wait to see what happens with this ^_^
Legendary weapon inc with Sulfuras hand of rag?
Golden Celebration sounds likely to be a reward for the 1 year anniversary of the game. What concerns me is that i started playing in July. If it requires a year of play i will be so sad.
In most blizzard games I have played you only need to log in during the anniversary period to get the rewards.
Have you tried restarting your computer?
Finally.
A Nefarian card might automatically change back and forth between human and dragon form each turn. 4/4 human, 10/10 dragon? You play him as a human for what, 6 or 7 mana?
5 Wing Adventure:
1: BRD
2: LBRS
3: UBRS
4: MC
5: BWL
Just take my money xD
4k gold sitting nice and ready. probably only need to spend 2k for advanture and the rest goes to next expansion.
that is not an argument. Last year i stored gold for months, used 10k instantly on the new expansion and did not regret it. this year started already to save gold for the next expansion.
good job on stacking man ^^ i wish i were that far in my stacking, sitting on a bit over 600 gold
If the pricing structure of BRM Is like naxx 3.5k should be adequate to purchase the adventure. That being said, if you compare the gold/dollar ratio on the solo adventure vs. card packs, it's much more efficient to buy the adventure mode with real money and keep saving those coins for the next time they introduce new cards in a GvG type expansion. Naxx was $24.99 or 3500 coins, 3500/25=140 coins per dollar. The best deal on cards is 50 packs for $69.99, in coins that is 5000. 5000/70=71.4 coins per dollar. So if you're like me and spend some real money on the game and grind for the rest, make sure to spend your real money where it gets you the biggest impact.
My farmed gold is ready!
Ragnaros cardback sounds very nice. o:
It's time to add cardback, which will pick one random cardback before each game.
