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.
That would actually be perfect. Wilfred gets killed by Jaraxxus and since Jaraxxus replaces the hero as a Warlock legendary, it's just too perfect to not pull the trigger on this
Sylvanas special interaction with Alleria HYPE
P.S. dibs on Turalyon as Paladin
Zul'jin or Gazlowe for Rogue, please. Preferably Zul'jin.
zul'jin was a witch doctor, not sure how he would fit for rogue.
No he wasn't. You're thinking of Sen'jin or something. Zul'jin is the forest troll with only one arm and a face scarf. He's listed in Warcraft II game manual and TCG as a Rogue.
I'm gonna use my brain for a second and think... What makes more sense, Garona or Zul'jin? Yeah, thought so.
Garona would make more sense as an iconic Rogue, but Zul'jin would be more fun and different compared to Garona. Already enough Orcs (or Half-Orcs) in Hearthstone, and the first Rogue hero is already a woman. Use that brain of yours again, maybe it will make even more sense.
In WC2 Zul'jin is listed as an Axe thrower/Rogue.
"One shot, one kill". Awesome!
I swear, if the Paladin hero isn't Arthas, I'm going to DDoS the whole world
(I know I can because my Mom said I could \/ )
If arthas is going to be a hero, hes going to bw the DK hero
Notice the Kappa and 4Head before replying.
Is it just me, or does the voice acting not really fit the character?
The price is acceptable imo. Buying this will not change your in-game skill. Business.
If $10 is unreasonable for you then don't buy it, simple as that. We'll see how many of you "it's just a picture" people end up shelling out cash for one because you see them in game and want it.
Acceptable? But thats the price of two games in the steam summer sale...
and the prices on steam sales are UNACCEPTABLY LOW.
So excited about new heroes and the tavern!
I hope that we'll get a new phrase for Sylvanas when she faces Alleria; much like Illidan and Malfurion.
