Blizzard has announced a new Hearthstone patch will be hitting live servers tomorrow which will include some new Battlegrounds goodies and the ability to reorder your decks!
It is also important to note that we'll be seeing a large download for this patch since the team has reorganized how assets are stored. We're not sure if this is going to help reduce the size of the game, but hopefully, there are some positives here!
Quote From Blizzard The 17.2 patch includes three new Heroes and a new minion for Battlegrounds. We’ve also added the ability to rearrange your decks, a new visual aid for end of Season rewards, and more!
As a note, we’ve restructured assets in 17.2 so the data download for this patch will be similar to a fresh install. Pardon our dust!
Battlegrounds Updates
- Dire Wolf Alpha has been removed from the minion pool.
NEW MINION
Rabid Saurolisk
- [Tier 1, Beast] 3 Attack, 1 Health.
After you play a minion with Deathrattle, gain +1/+1.
NEW HEROES
Players with Battlegrounds perks will have immediate access to playtest these three new heroes before they are fully unlocked on May 26.
Lady Vashj
- Evolving Electricity [Passive]: After you upgrade Bob’s Tavern, replace his minions with ones of a higher Tier.
Maiev Shadowsong
- Imprison [Cost 1]: Make a minion in Bob’s Tavern Dormant. After 2 turns, get it with +1/+1.
Kael’thas Sunstrider
- Verdant Spheres [Passive]: Every third minion you buy gains +2/+2.
Deck Ordering
You can now reorder your deck lists! While viewing your deck list in the Collection Manager, press and hold a deck button to enter “rearranging” mode. Once you’re in rearranging mode, just click and drag on your decks to order them! Deck rearranging will not work until all nine starting heroes (excluding Demon Hunter) are unlocked.
Game Improvements and Bug Fixes
- End of Season rewards
- Your total rewards accumulated within the current Ranked season are now highlighted in green inside your Rewards Chest, which can be found at the top of the Quest Log.
- Collection Manager filter panel (mobile)
- The filter panel will now remain open after using Search.
- The filter panel will now hide once cards are dragged to a deck and will reappear after they’ve been added.
- The filter panel will no longer be dismissed until the “Done” button has been pressed.
- Card text for Teron Gorefiend has been updated to be more technically accurate: “Destroy all other friendly minions. Deathrattle: Resummon them with +1/+1.”
Comments
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That would require making the scrollbar longer. That might be a tad too confusing for even the old players.
I hope Kael'thas is in a single turn....
Vashj seems borderline insane.
It would have said so in the text
I think she upgrades current available guys and not just gives you all minions on new tier...
correct its Bob's minions. Its similar to the refresh tavern for 0 cost which in theory is still better.
No actually these hero power is somewhat better, because you have control of when to flip it somewhat... if you get bunch of 3 star minions you can decide to upgrade then to get bunch of 4 stars if you are searching for them, same for 5 stars (especially 5 stars because of how many of them are impactful) you can even somewhat reliably force out 6 stars. Though it being 5 times only instead of every turn does limit you a bit too...
