With a hotfix, the Hearthstone programmers at Blizzard have put a stumbling block in the way of the wave of villain quest decks.

"Descent into the depths" now requires that you play 5 instead of only 4 servants with the same name. This change of course also means that you can disenchant the card for the full dust value. Anyone who has specially crafted "descent into the depths" can now disenchant it without loss and create something different. This is possible until July 24th.

In addition, some cards have been marked as elementals that were previously overlooked:

• Manageode
• crystal
• Jade spirit
• Flame of Azzinoth
• Hallaceal the Ascended
• Djinn of the Zephyr

So from now on you can trigger the effect “if you played an elemental in the last turn” and use them in your elemental decks.

"Knights of the Frost Throne" pre-order now available

The new card packages have now arrived in the Hearthstone client. For € 49.99 you can pre-order 50 packages. These packages will be available to you when the expansion is released and you will also receive the exclusive Knight of the Frost Throne card back.

And after we got the double gold reward at the moment thanks to the summer festival, a frost version of the fireworks effects was found as a counterpart. There is no official statement about this yet, but the data miners discovered the graphics in the files. A new brawl card was also discovered: "

Ragnaros? ”Cannot attack Death Rattle: Whoever kills this servant does 4 damage to his opponent

So this little rascal should be waiting for us in one of the next brawls.

Another little warning that Changes for the map packages is Not included in this patch, this will only be implemented with the expansion, so it is best to wait before opening packages.

Changed some probabilities for the arena. The changes are already live but there are no German patch notes so far, so you can find the original below:
