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.
Definetely looking forward for that!
So $90 to all heroes and card backs?
That's such horse shit, even mighty Broom Horse would be offended.
Or u can just buy only the ones u want ;)
Do you play any other game that sells cosmetic skins? If you do, do you own every one of them? This would cost thousands of dollars depending on the game. Why do you feel like you need all 9? If you really feel that way, you'll buy them. Simple enough isn't it?
$10 for a single skin feels just as shitty, tbh.
I'm certain that Blizzard will have a discounted Hero Bundle: all nine heroes for $60 (or some such).
Yes it does. Yes it does.
They already said there will be no bundle.
How is it people aren't talking more about the first thing Blizzard's done in this game that's actually worth talking about? Tavern Brawl has me hyped. Unless the first three weeks don't somehow ban creature cards that cost 2 mana or less...then it'll end up some weeks being just as bad as ranked and, even in some instances, arena (I've seen hunters get godlike facetard drafts...it's just atrocious).
I want a mode where I can just not deal with cancer patients for 90% of my matches. Please let Tavern Brawls be that mode.
There wont be a bundle for now. Might change later. Actually makes sense that it changes later.
At least we won't be forced to fight the dopey Rexxar all the time anymore.
That's why I think of buying it :P
True that! I'm buying it 1. Because I'm a Windrunner fanboy, and 2. Because I don't want to be seen as a Face Hunter :D
Ok Blizzard, I'm still convinced that all new "heroes"-skins are useless and dumb....but you've got my +1 for that fancy hunter. Ugly dwarf didn't have sexy voice and didn't impress at all, with all my love to Warriors and certain dishonor to Hunters (although I have golden the latter and not-golden the former). You gyus, still can make pleasant surprises sometimes.... but you are definitely wrong about pricing and way to obtain those skins. And you definitely need to implement some free way to get those heroes.
Let it be 20000 gold or 5000 wins with class - imho that grinding and game dedication cost much more that 10 bucks. As for me - I can't even buy those heroes (even if I would like) just because I'm living right in the center of war, in Eastern part of Ukraine. All banking system are disabled, all cards are blocked. Travel 200 km to cross the front line of warfare for just buying some game cometics - isn't worth my life.
But new huntress is awesome:) Good job, Blizzard.
I feel your trouble but I 5000 wins is too much you know? Also, if they are going to add more female characters they better get some real money from it since gamers are overly hyped about female characters.
I just mention as example. It can be anything. 500 arena wins with a class, or Tavern Brawls etc. If they are that smart to make a game, they certainly can invent tons of conditions to obtain a skin, or a Dalaran Flame card back, except just buying it for 10 bucks. They even implemented real money auction in D3!!!
Maybe they will do it but not soon. If they do it soon enough then they will end up pissing off gamers who paid money for those skins. Also they might implement a bundle for all heroes once all released. We will see how it goes, but in my opinion they should stick to either making it for real money or in game skill only. Making it obtainable both for skill and money will not suit them, thats my point.
It seems like they had to rush the video. When she says "another target" you can hear where the two sound modules were cut together.
Yeah, I agree, and in the magni one, he talked a bit too fast at certain points, imo.
i am still upset that you can't buy these new heroes with gold :(
That's exactly why you can't buy them with gold, to make you envious and spend money. Business 101.
