The new Arena format has been announced! As of the Rise of the Mech update, the following sets of cards will be included in Arena drafts: Classic, Basic, Goblins vs. Oh, and one final – no less important – piece of information. (And right now some classes have far better tools than others.) Either that or they may decide to simply change the cards that are part of the Classic set regularly, to – again – keep things fresh.īada-climp, bada-clamp!There’s one other hugely compelling reason to log in to Hearthstone during the Rise of the Mech event, and that is that anyone logs in between June 3 and July 1 will be given a golden copy of a BRAND NEW LEGENDARY – SN1P-SN4P! It’s a mech, unsurprisingly, and looks really strong – particularly for classes like Hunter and Paladin that are already playing mech builds and taking advantage of Magnetic. (Some of which are already being played.) Whether this will mean regular buffs remains to be seen, but I can’t help but think that a Team 5 that’s prepared to do this may also be prepared to make sweeping changes to the Basic and Classic sets to better balance the classes, given that these sets are the foundation of the Standard format. Morrigan given another chance to find a home, not to mention the many other cards that now find themselves potentially viable. It’s exciting see build-around cards like Luna’s Pocket Galaxy and Dr. They’ll be live in the game on May 22 (NA time). You can see the changes below, along with commentary from Team 5. This is also a good change, as the card itself has a really fun design, but along with cards like Baleful Banker led to some excruciatingly long mirror matches - particularly problematic in the new Specialist competitive format. Warrior was also addressed, with a tweak to the mana cost of Archivist Elysiana to make it harder to play her over and over again. While the adjustments are relatively minor on their own, cumulatively they should reduce the power level of the archetype, and promote more diversity within the class. These changes are a reflection of how many powerful cards the class has right now – changing a single card just wouldn’t cut it.
Yesterday, Blizzard’s Team 5 announced a number of nerfs designed to address the power level of Rogue, hitting Preparation, Raiding Party and EVIL Miscreant three of the core cards in the current build of Tempo Rogue. It’s all happening in the world of Hearthstone right now.
