We've got a new Arena rotation taking place in Hearthstone this week with the release of the Wailing Caverns cards! Celestalon confirmed these details on Twitter.

Unfortunately, this rotation means we will also be saying goodbye to some sets. The following sets are being removed from Arena on June 3:

  • Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
  • Rise of Shadows

Fear not though for we're making tons of tiny new friends with the sets that are being added! The following two old sets, and new set, are being added:

  • Goblins vs Gnomes
  • Kobolds & Catacombs
  • Wailing Caverns

So, what does the final rotation look like with the changes? Here you go!

  • Core
  • Forged in the Barrens (With New Wailing Caverns cards)
  • Madness at the Darkmoon Faire
  • Scholomance Academy
  • Ashes of Outland
  • Goblins vs Gnomes
  • Kobolds & Catacombs

Quote From Celestalon

I know I asked this but will there be an arena rotation when the miniset somes out

Yes, there will be an Arena rotation when the miniset comes out.

- Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
- Rise of Shadows
+ Goblins vs Gnomes
+ Kobolds & Catacombs
+ Wailing Caverns


"Free" Tavern Ticket

Since the new rotation will not only add new sets but also remove some, we should expect a free Tavern Ticket for our unfinished Arena runs. As per usual, start an Arena run, leave it at X wins and a maximum of 2 losses and get a reward equal to the amount of wins you left the run with, plus a Tavern Ticket when your run gets retired with the rotation.

Don't forget that Arena entries generally close a few hours prior to the expansion launch based on your server time. Don't leave it for last minute!

The Tavern Ticket!
