In Hearthstone, navigating the mulligan phase properly is key to starting off a match on the right foot. Typically, pro players will keep some low-cost cards so that they have something to play in the first few turns—but a proper mulligan goes much deeper than this. Learn how to master the mulligan based on how you anticipate the game state evolving in our latest episode of Well Played!

So you see, the mulligan isn’t just about cards you don’t want, it’s also a chance to find the cards you must have. That’s it for this week! Let us know your fave mulligan rules-of-thumb in the comments.

The Horde and Alliance have established their footholds in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, each seeking to use these staging points as inroads to the flow of Azerite in enemy territory. Now the Horde and the Alliance will use those hard-earned footholds to launch large-scale assaults deep into enemy territory. While the assaulting faction tries to break through their enemy’s defenses, players must rally the local forces to drive the invaders from their continent.

Who: Level 110 and Above players who have unlocked World Quests on their account and have begun the War Campaign.
Where: Kul Tiras and Zandalar

With the release of Tides of Vengeance, players will be able to take part in Faction Assaults in Zandalar and Kul Tiras. Level 110 and above players from the Horde and the Alliance will be able to take part in these events on either continent as long as they have unlocked World Quests on their account and have begun the War Campaign.

2018 was a great year for Hearthstone Esports. Earlier this month Team China upset tournament favorite Brazil in the Grand Finals of the Hearthstone Global Games at BlizzCon. We’ve crowned two seasonal champions at our Summer and Fall Championships. We’ve seen more than 200,000 players attend 25 Tour Stops and other major events across the globe. And by the end of the Year of the Raven we’ll have awarded more than $2.8 million in prize money—our largest amount ever.

Along the way, we’ve gathered feedback from players and fans. We’ve learned that many of you feel the HCT system can be challenging to follow, not as accessible to new players as it could be, and unsustainable for pros. Today we are excited to share with you a preview of our plan for continuing to make Hearthstone esports the best it can be for viewers and competitors alike.

Next Year—and Beyond

Sometimes the key to victory is as simple as taking a step back and reevaluating your approach. In this week’s Well Played we look at how adding one or two tech cards to your deck—in this case, Quest Rogue—could be the perfect answer to a losing ladder run or a seemingly unconquerable class counter.

Next time you find yourself questioning your card choices, hopefully you’ll consider the addition of some synergistic tech to compliment your deck.

We’ve just released a new Heroes of the Storm patch to apply a number of balance changes and bug fixes.

Players with maximum-level (120) blood elves or dwarves who are Exalted with their faction (Silvermoon City or Ironforge respectively) will be able to embark on a new quest line for each race to learn more about their history. Once you complete your quest, you’ll gain a new Heritage Armor transmog set unique to your race and be able to show off your pride.

Begin your journey by visiting the embassy in Orgrimmar or Stormwind after Tides of Vengeance arrives on December 11.
