Quote from Blizzard4/17 Update:
We are currently in the process of rolling out a small server-side hotfix with the following updates:
- [Duels] Groovy Cat is now banned in deckbuilding and removed from card Loot pools.
- [Arena] Fixed a bug where Discover pools were offering cards that were not from the elibile sets.

Hey all,
Patch 26.0 is here, and the stage is set for the Festival of Legends to take the spotlight! There’s just one more week before the expansion goes live. Follow this post for more information about known issues we’re tracking this patch.
The issues we’re tracking this patch include:
- [Updated carry-over issue]: We are aware that sound from other apps can’t be played while Hearthstone is being played on some devices. This was an intentional change that was made to avoid crashes on mobile. With Patch 26.0, we’ve been able to scale back the affected devices so that now iOS is able to play sound from other apps. The fix to the underlying issue, and with it the resolution for other mobile devices, is still scheduled for a later patch.
- We are seeing many reports of Golden Death Knight cards being removed from decks. Don’t worry, this is NOT a bug, this is the fix to a bug that prematurely granted all players all Golden Death Knight Core cards before they were earned (see the 26.0 Patch Notes 155). Simply swap out the Golden versions for normal versions in your decks and you will be able to play again.
- [Resolved 4/11] New/returning player decks are not currently available. This was not intended. We will not be able to reinstate new/returning player decks with a hotfix this week like previously planned. The new 26.0 decks will be added when Festival of Legends unlocks on April 11 and affected players will get to choose from those loaner decks.
- [Resolved 4/6] In Duels, we are aware that ongoing runs did not retire with Patch 26.0 as expected. Instead, the season reset is happening after players finish the run on their own (by retiring or playing all their games). All players who had an active run that would have been retired with Patch 26.0 have been granted a Tavern Ticket.
- [Resolved 4/7] Blazing Transmutation is currently offering only the same minion as targeted if there’s no eligible card of the next mana (instead of offering 3 minions of the same mana as the target). This is scheduled to be corrected in an upcoming hotfix.
- [Resolved 4/7] We’re aware that if a card is granted Charge by Warsong Commander, then buffed, and then copied, the copy does not have Charge. The team is investigating this issue.
- The in-game text for Jazznaros, the Vibe Lord hero skin and E.T.C. hero skin and card back incorrectly says that they are earnable after purchasing the Tavern Pass. They are actually planned to be available as in-shop purchases. We are working on correcting these texts.
- [Resolved 4/7] We’re aware that Sire Denathrius did not return to Battlegrounds with Patch 26.0 like intended. He will be returned to the hero pool in an upcoming hotfix.
- [Added 4/11] We are aware that some Festival of Legends cards have incorrect translations in some languages. This will be resolved in a future client update.
- [Added 4/11] We got a bit overzealous in getting rid of secrets from Paladin in Standard and failed to make sure Reckoning was added to the Legacy set for Wild. We reckon it’ll be back with Patch 26.2.
- [Resolved 4/11] The team is investigating a Battlenet issue causing problems with product purchases.
- [Added 4/11] The team is investigating an issue preventing some decks from being playable. The issue comes when you–or the opponent you queue into–builds a valid deck and then re-rolls away one of the cards within that deck (making it invalid) and then tries to queue with that newly invalid deck. The workaround is to completely rebuild the deck from scratch (not copying the deck code).
- [Added 4/11] The team is aware that certain Diamond cards (like Ragnaros) did not handle Core set updates properly and didn’t end up available in Standard. The team is investigating the issue.
- [Resolved 4/14] The team is aware of an issue that sometimes causes tooltips to not appear properly, and is working on a solution.
- [Resolved 4/17] The team is aware that Discover effects in Arena are drawing from cards that are no longer in Core. The team has a solution that is expected in a hotfix early next week.
- [Added 4/17] The team is aware that opponent’s mouse-overs are no longer showing. This was part of a temporary mitigation to a bug the sometimes blocked card text. Opponent mouse-overs will return in a later patch.
We’ll continue to update this post as we get more information.

When you type something in the search bar in your collection, there used to be an "x" sign to cancel whatever you typed. It's not there anymore for me, is it there for anyone else? What's worse it the button is still there kinda, just not visually; if you click where it was it still deletes your input
I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but Whizbang the Wonderful is still using decks from last expansion
would groovy cat be less broken if it gave drek'thar the bonus damage to the whirlwind instead of the attack up on HK. Its just a bummer for the other two druids who wanted to play quest more with it.
Don't test the cards or anything in all the modes you have available. You can fix it later.
but Kingsbane is fair in duels
Wanting to point out that no, simply swapping out Golden Death Knight cards for the regular copies doesn't work. You can add the regular copies in the deck, but the client absolutely refuses to let you play a game with the cards you swapped out.
oh yeah the annual bug still returns! if you have a core(of previous year) card in deck that no longer in core(of new year) even thought you got the original version(reno from league of explorer for example) of it, it did not automatically replace the missing card(core 2022) with the original card
Noticed the achievement "Epic Rap Battle of Blingstory" appears to be bugged and can be earned by killing an enemy minion with the microphone, instead of just their hero.
That was hilarious how I got it the first time I used the mic!
So should I finish now my duels deck, or wait for a fix to retire it?
Wait, warsong commander nerf was reverted? All hail Patron Warrior!
Anyone who was developing Blazing Transmutation card should have at least three person checking the results ;) Its bugged third or fourth time now?
Wait, they're saying not being able to use golden cards, in order to prevent me from having golden cards that I shouldn't have, is NOT a bug?
WTF?
No, you've just misunderstood it. With every class you can get golden core cards, when you reach a certain amounts of won games with that class (through achievements). With Death Knight there was a bug, which granted everyone access to the golden versions of DK's core cards. Now, they're taking those golden cards back, so you will still be able to use them, if you unlock them normally, as it is with every other class.
Basically they have let us have golden DK cards for the entire expansion and then realised that we actually need to spend countless hours to unlock them like we did for other classes.
This fix is purely out of spite.
Yes, achievement with DK wins will now correctly unlock them as for other classes but it's just BS, doesn't change a thing to have them unlocked from the start or not as those are essentially free cards that won't earn them money anyway.
I hope the warsong commander bug is fixed relatively quickly. My body is ready for charge warrior
