Read moreTeam China are your 2018 Hearthstone Global Games (HGG) victors! Comprised of anchor Gao “Leaoh” Yang, Zheng “OmegaZero” Lin, Zhang “YouLove” Lichen, and He “Trunks” Huan, the team completed their HGG journey with a clean 3-0 win over a surging Brazil in the Grand Finals.
“I am super pumped now,” said Trunks. “This is my first trophy at a global tournament ever, and this also proves how good Chinese Hearthstone is! So, I'm truly happy.”
China took a different approach to the tournament than many other teams, assigning each player a couple of different classes in which to specialize. “Everyone was assigned and had their classes that they excel at,” Trunks said. “The one advantage that we have compared to other teams I think is that we did a better job on picks, bans, and the class player order.”
... Read moreThere is a single team that stands out among the competition remaining in contention for the Hearthstone Global Games (HGG) crown, and that is the last remaining representative from the Americas region: Brazil.
There’s something unique about this team, and it’s not (just) that they were the only team to go undefeated in the Swiss rounds. It’s the fact that the four teammates, Lucas "LucasCrt" Claudio, Lucas "Neves" Figueredo, Rodrigo "Perna" Castro, and Lucas "Rase" Guerra are longtime friends who forged a common bond long before HGG began.
For Team Brazil, the motivation for winning extends beyond prize money or fame. It’s about national pride and breaking down barriers for esports in Latin America. “Brazil has a lot of passion for gaming,” said Rase. “Not just Hearthstone but every game. The problem is our structure for esports is not as good as s...

Read moreThe November 2018 Ranked Play Season is now live—and we’re unveiling a new card back you can add to your collection!
Tyrande, Maiev, Malfurion, and Lunara all know the power of the Moonwell. Taking a dip isn’t only a great way to recharge your mana batteries, but it’s also a great source of serenity.

Read moreJoin us as we delve into a big swing play orchestrated by Linh "Seiko" Nguyen's Malygos Druid against Kevin "Casie" Eberlein’s Miracle Rogue at HCT Germany 2018. With his back against the wall, instead of taking a line that would have put him on life support, Seiko sets himself up for a Hail-Mary top-deck.
In Hearthstone, you don’t just play with the cards in your hand—you’re also playing with the cards in your deck.
The winners of this year's pumpkin-carving contest have been chosen -- and they're monstrously spectacular. We'd like to thank everyone who participated this year, and we can't wait to see your mad scientist skills in action again next time around. Check out all of the creepy, incredible, and creative winning pumpkins:

... Read moreWe invite you to celebrate Hallow’s End with a selection of spooky deck lists! From the mysterious mechanized might of Mecha’thun and Uther of the Ebon Blade’s four-horse apocalypse, to the simple joy of haunting your foes with Deathrattle, each of these decks celebrates Hallow’s End in a different way.
They might be more well suited to a friendly challenge than smashing jack’o’lanterns on the ladder, but they’re a lot of fun, and we hope they give you a sinister grin for the holiday!
This deck is all about harnessing the power of the scourge with Uther of the Ebon Blade!
Take over the board early with a swarm of small minions. Later in the game, combine Uther of the Ebon Blade’s hero power with cards like Youthful Brewmaster and Zola the Gorgon to assemble the Four Horsemen to win ...
Read moreIt's just a visual bug
Correct! It should be fixed in a coming update.
Be careful, Shadowboxer doesn't appear to be giving full dust refunds in the collection tab.
Edit: Blizzard is aware however.
Edit Edit: Hotfix is live, now you get a full dust refund as intended.
Correct! The team is working on a hotfix now.
UPDATE: The hotfix has been applied, and Shadowboxer will now award full Arcane Dust when disenchanted. Thanks for your patience, everyone!
We're aware that Shadowboxer isn't currently providing the full Arcane Dust refund and the team is investigating.

Nah. Just placeholders to make the reveal blocks look neater. After the confusion they've caused, we'll probably remove them.
7/25 at 5:15PM and 7/29 at 11AM seem to be connected somehow. They both have the letters ES and BR on the art. Any speculation as to what this means?
Same card, but revealed in two different languages at the same time.
what are the pictures of bombs that replace a few of them images for me (i.e. the first three during this week)? Does anyone else see them/know what they mean?
Just placeholders so the schedule lines up more neatly.
