Battle.net Friends Lists - Now Supporting 200 Friends
The friends list limit on Battle.net has been increased to 200 earlier today, up from 100. Go make some new friends!
New Heroes - Alleria Windrunner and Medivh
Thanks to the Korean Battle.net website, as if we couldn't tell already, we now know that Alleria and Medivh are going to be the next two cosmetic heroes which will be purchasable in the store for $9.99 each. This tip comes to us from DCInside (via reddit)
The card back names in the screenshot below translate to Medivh (메디브) and Alleria (알레리아). The image itself is quite low quality, we will have better resolution card backs available once assets are published to the Battle.net website.
This brings us up to three new known heroes, Magni, Medivh, and Alleria.

Tavern Brawl
Taven Brawl is Hearthstone's newest gamemode which will be introduced in mid-June! It is a weekly event which has a different theme each week which you build a deck around to compete. Head on over to the Tavern Brawl announcement post to learn more.
- Tavern Brawls launch mid-June.
- Admission to Tavern Brawls is free.
- It is a weekly event which has a custom deck building rule for that mode that everyone must adhere to.
- One week you may need to build your own deck, or you may be given a premade deck.
- The gamemode unlocks after you have leveled up any hero to level 20.
- There will be a couple of days delay after a brawl ends before a new one begins.

Posted Jun 16, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)I have a good guess on how to get that card back. It might be an offer through "Galaxy Gifts" it is a preinstalled app on most Samsung phones that gives out deals on a lot of apps ie Gameloft (they give out 10k free gems), Dropbox (1 year free sub), and perhaps soon Hearthstone you get a free card back.

Posted Jun 12, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)At $9.99 a hero, it's ridiculously overpriced. A shame too; I'd love to play as Medivh...
Tavern Brawl hopefully gets you daily/10g for 3 wins progress, or not many will play it... Hopefully dailies against friends, too?

Posted Jun 12, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)Rexxar is a hunter/beastmaster. He does and can use a bow. He prefers to dual wield axes, but that doesn't mean he doesn't/can't use a bow. Just as Medivh is a mage. He is listed as an Archmage, Diviner, Guardian, Mage, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard. Seems fitting enough to me. And how have you come across 50 people to ignore? I'm sure many of them you can remove as they won't be trying to randomly contact you anymore, less you really just go around pissing that many people off.

Posted Jun 12, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)From Valeera to Vanessa. Pretty much their only difference would be their ear length.
Zul'jin for Rogue please.

Posted Jun 12, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)A bit disappointed that Kael'thas Sunstrider wasn't the alternate mage. Would have been pretty fun to do the Oops emote only to hear "That was merely a setback."

Posted Jun 12, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)Kael'thas was a Blood Mage. Blood Mages in Warcraft III had Banish and Drain Mana, both of which were given to Warlocks in WoW. Blood Mages are described in Warcraft III manual as Mages who started dabbling in demonic magic. Recently Warlocks in WoW got a glyph which gives them Verdant Spheres just like Kael'thas had. I'm not that smart, but at least I make sure I know enough about a subject before I try to ridicule someone.

Posted Jun 12, 2015 (Blackrock Launch)And yet, in his Heroes of the Storm incarnation, Kael'thas casts Pyroblast and Flamestrike, which are mage spells. He can empower them with his Verdant Spheres and make them green and stronger, but he is still a mage at heart, IMO.
