In-Game Indication of Nozdormu Day Coming?
Celestalon just tweeted something with regards to Nozdormu Day, Blizzard's attempted celebration on the 15th of every month to get people to put Nozdormu the Eternal in their decks on that day and getting them to play with a 15 second turn timer. The format saw very positive feedback when it was used in the Forged in the Barrens event on April 21st, where the rounds with Nozdormu were called "Barrens Blitz" rounds.
The proposed holiday has met with some starting up trouble however, as even people trying to partcipate are finding it hard to find other people to play with, even in Casual mode. Celestalon took note of this and tweeted the following:
Don't worry, we've definitely heard the feedback that Nozdormu day needs to be in-client to be truly successful. Stay tuned. :)

What could it mean? The possibilities range from just a visual indicator, to a special once-a-month Quest, to it being part of a bigger overhaul of some kind. This last one could be something like the introduction of mini-Holidays in game, where there would be occasional 1-day events, just for fun, without any real rewards. World of Warcraft has a similar system, and it has added some nice flavor to the game there.
Let us know in the comments what you think!
But people that need full turns for pulling off a combo or something similar can just... not put Nozdormu in their decks. It's supposed to be an event for the people who enjoy that type of thing, you don't have to participate.
Go for it. You will never get try-hards to put a bad card in their deck, no matter how "official" you make it, and I personally would always re-roll a quest involving this card.
It would actually make more sense to create a "speed mode" for players who care about this sort of thing. That's the only way they are ever going to queue into each other with any consistency.
If they want this to be a thing, they really need to add a quest for the day "Play 5 games with Nozdormu the eternal in your deck"
Then people might get extra rewards, and they can't have that.
Mobile device needs extra 5 seconds imo.
THEN give free noz for this dumb day or gtfo
Doesn't everyone have free Nozdormu?
LOL
Everyone has a free nozdormu
They’re putting in a whole lot of effort for what’s effectively nothing more than a Tavern Brawl when they could’ve just made Nozdormu not suck and focus on more important things.
Maybe they should give everyone a free nozdormu that can only be used on nozdormu day. Also have a notification in-game because not many will know it's nozdormu day.
Everyone already has a free Nozdormu, it's part of the core set.
Ok then.
Always cheers me up x) let's make the 20th the boar day, play a deck full of boars. How uniquely funny innovating interesting....
The first "Nozdormu day" was one of the worst ideas they ever came up with.
Just give 10 gold for each ranked game you win with a deck with "Nozdormu" in it on the 15th, and people will play him.
Can't wait for a popup in game that will tell you to play nozdormu and just press the X to close the popup and play normal decks anyway.
Definitely need some "Nozdormu opponent" button.
Yesterday I played 10 games and had no Nozdormu opponent.
I wish this were a toggle option for any format.
Fast Games - on/off
Especially Arena
Kinda pathetic.
