Card Changes

Hall of Fame Additions

Vanish (Rogue) and Mind Blast (Priest) have been moved to the Hall of Fame:

New Basic & Classic Cards

We’ve added the following new cards to the Basic & Classic sets. Players who have unlocked the Basic cards will receive the new additions automatically, while the new Classic cards can be obtained by opening Classic card packs, or by crafting them with Arcane Dust.

Basic Cards: Priest Spell: Radiance Rogue Minion: Plaguebringer



Classic Cards: Warlock Rare Minion: Siegebreaker Druid Common Spell: Gift of the Wild Paladin Rare Spell: Righteousness Neutral Legendary Minion: Brightwing Neutral Legendary Minion: High Inquisitor Whitemane Neutral Epic Minion: Barrens Stablehand Neutral Rare Minion: SI:7 Infiltrator Neutral Rare Minion: Arcane Devourer



All players who have the old Basic cards (Vanish and Mind Blast) will receive the new Basic cards (Plaguebringer and Radiance).

If you have Wild unlocked, you’ll keep Vanish and Mind Blast as Hall of Fame Commons. If not, you’ll receive an equivalent amount of dust.

Standard decks will have Vanish and Mind Blast replaced with Plaguebringer and Radiance.
