| 3s | it's pretty amazing to think that |
| 5s | Hearthstone turns 10 this year it's been |
| 8s | such an incredible decade together we've |
| 10s | made the tavern a place for sharing Joy |
| 13s | excitement and some very tall tales |
| 15s | indeed we've made friends with murlocs |
| 18s | battled old gods and now we're traveling |
| 20s | through space but for me the most |
| 23s | incredible thing of all is that I get to |
| 25s | work on my favorite game with such an |
| 27s | amazing team ever since Hearthstone came |
| 29s | out we we've been with you on that road |
| 31s | to Legend I remember on my first climb |
| 34s | to Legend I had played something like |
| 36s | 500 games in 1 month and as the clock |
| 39s | ticked to midnight I was two wins away |
| 42s | and didn't make it but I played another |
| 44s | 500 games the following month and made |
| 46s | it shout out to darkshire councilman but |
| 49s | those 1,000 games pale in comparison to |
| 52s | the more than 160 billion games that |
| 55s | we've all played over the last decade |
| 58s | and that's not counting battlegrounds |
| 60s | can you believe that it's been five |
| 62s | years since the mode launched at |
| 63s | BlizzCon that's five years of building |
| 66s | death rattle Beast comps magnetizing |
| 68s | mechs completing quests and collecting |
| 70s | trinkets it's been awesome to watch |
| 73s | Battlegrounds grow from what was pitched |
| 75s | as the biggest Tavern brawl ever into |
| 77s | what it is today we are so thankful to |
| 80s | our community for being with us over |
| 82s | this incredible decade and we're looking |
| 84s | forward to the next 10 years in the |
| 86s | tavern together the future is packed |
| 89s | with even more places to EXP explore and |
| 91s | Adventures to share more expansions more |
| 93s | Min sets and more |
| 95s | surprises now let's take a look at |
| 97s | what's just around the |
| 100s | corner one of the amazing things of |
| 102s | working at blizzard is getting to watch |
| 104s | other teams pushing the boundaries on |
| 106s | their own |
| 107s | games I think we're all genuinely fans |
| 110s | of what our co-workers are up to and |
| 111s | it's really special when we find moments |
| 113s | to |
| 114s | collaborate what's up everybody I hope |
| 117s | you're enjoying your adventures Among |
| 119s | the Stars in the Great dark Beyond we |
| 121s | loved working on this expansion and |
| 123s | wanted to take our next mini set further |
| 125s | into the cosmos than ever before prepare |
| 128s | to travel Beyond Azeroth Beyond Warcraft |
| 131s | and into Heroes of |
| 134s | StarCraft I'm super excited for this Min |
| 137s | set it's the first time we've ever |
| 138s | explored Another Universe this deeply in |
| 141s | Hearthstone a ton of people on the team |
| 144s | so much love for Starcraft so being able |
| 146s | to bring it into the Hearthstone Tavern |
| 148s | has been incredible some might say it's |
| 151s | about |
| 155s | time obviously we knew we had to go big |
| 158s | the Zerg tan and protos factions are |
| 161s | represented on cards via a faction |
| 163s | Banner not only do the cards in each |
| 165s | faction work well with one another |
| 167s | they're also usable across multiple |
| 169s | classes each of the factions also has a |
| 172s | hero card featuring one of the most |
| 174s | iconic faces from Starcraft the Zerg are |
| 177s | led by the queen of blades herself Sarah |
| 180s | carrian she gives death Knights Hunters |
| 183s | warlocks and Demon Hunters access to an |
| 186s | aggro Place Style with near endless |
| 188s | swarms of Zerg cards after all what |
| 191s | would a Starcraft minis set even be |
| 193s | without its own version of a zerg rush |
| 195s | for the protos we have the legendary |
| 197s | artanis seeking to unify his people he |
| 200s | grants his powers to Druids Mages |
| 203s | priests and Rogues he focuses on |
| 206s | powerful High Mana cost units and uses |
| 209s | the psionic power of the protos to make |
| 211s | those cards cheaper finally who else |
| 214s | could we have to lead the Teran besides |
| 216s | the iconic Jim reer thanks to him |
| 219s | Warriors paladins and Shaman will get a |
| 222s | hold of the new starship keyword from |
| 224s | the main set but these aren't your |
| 225s | average |
| 226s | Starships they're battle Cruisers when |
| 229s | we first started working on this mini |
| 231s | set we went to the team and asked what |
| 233s | does this need to have in order to truly |
| 235s | feel like Starcraft we've made sure to |
| 237s | represent as many units from Starcraft |
| 239s | as possible there's even one character |
| 242s | from Warcraft that snuck their way into |
| 245s | the set grunty the Teran armored |
| 248s | murlock on top of everything else Heroes |
| 251s | of Starcraft has more cards than any |
| 254s | mini set we've done before there's so |
| 256s | much to explore here so many strategies |
| 258s | so many interactions and so much |
| 262s | Starcraft Nostalgia and we might have |
| 264s | some special music as well just for the |
| 267s | occasion Heroes of Starcraft is coming |
| 270s | in January |
| 272s | 2025 but there's even more coming up for |
| 274s | Hearthstone we're making some big |
| 276s | changes to |
| 283s | Arena as Leo mentioned arena is getting |
| 286s | a major glow up but first let's talk |
| 289s | about what makes Arena special arena is |
| 292s | hearthstone's premium draft mode where |
| 293s | you build your own deck from scratch at |
| 295s | the start of every run it's all about |
| 297s | you flexing your deck building skills |
| 299s | and card knowledge to defeat your |
| 301s | opponents Believe It or Not Arena has |
| 303s | stayed mostly the same for 10 years so |
| 305s | we thought it was finally time for a |
| 306s | little bit of an update from now on |
| 308s | there will be two kinds of Arena to |
| 310s | choose from normal Arena has a shorter |
| 313s | format that lets you complete your runs |
| 315s | more quickly but still gives you that |
| 317s | awesome competitive Arena experience and |
| 319s | after you've established yourself in the |
| 321s | normal Arena you'll be able to descend |
| 323s | into the dark dank Cellar of the tavern |
| 325s | where Challengers are engaging in high |
| 327s | stakes card play in our underground |
| 329s | Arena |
| 330s | underground has a distinctive basement |
| 332s | aesthetic longer runs and a new feature |
| 335s | we call redraft on loss this means that |
| 338s | when you lose you'll have the option to |
| 340s | redraft cards and edit your deck |
| 342s | refining it to up your chances of |
| 344s | winning as you take on more hardened |
| 346s | Challengers we heard you also want a way |
| 348s | to show off that you're an arena |
| 350s | Champion we got you Arena ratings will |
| 353s | be available for both the normal and |
| 355s | underground modes ranking for the two |
| 357s | are separate with the usual skill-based |
| 359s | matchmaking in normal Arena but in |
| 361s | underground Arena you'll be throwing |
| 363s | caution to the wind and facing off |
| 365s | against opponents of all skill levels |
| 368s | whether you're an arena veteran or maybe |
| 370s | you just haven't clicked that Arena |
| 371s | button in a while we hope these changes |
| 373s | offer you another exciting way you can |
| 375s | enjoy your time in the tavern with us |
| 377s | and I'm happy to tell you all of this |
| 379s | will be coming in the first half of next |
