Game Improvements

We’ve further optimized Hearthstone's app size

It will be necessary to re-download app data, but Hearthstone will take up a lot less space now!

Reconnect Improvements – Players attempting to reconnect to matches should now have a smoother overall experience.

Reroll Legendary Quests – To give players more freedom over how they’ll be rewarded while playing Hearthstone, we have now added the ability to reroll legendary quests (Special event quests, Expansion launch quests, etc.) into standard daily quests.



Random Card Back Selector – Let the Innkeeper curate your card back collection. If your collection has 5 or more card backs, just select the Random card back for a deck, and a random card back from your Collection will be chosen each time you play.

Golden Heroes Now Count Arena Wins – Go for the gold in the Arena! We are updating the 500 Wins requirement for Golden Heroes to include Arena wins along with Ranked wins.

NOTE: This will only apply towards Arena wins earned after this update is live. Any past Arena wins will not count towards the 500 Wins total.



Complete My Deck – Hearthstone’s better at helping you build decks than ever before.

Helps you build established, proven decks using your collection.

If you’re short of an established deck, the helper will help you choose the strongest stand-alone cards from what you have available.

NOTE: This feature is currently disabled in the Wild format. Please stay tuned for more info on when you can use the smart deck builder to help construct Wild decks.



Fixed several issues that could cause User Interface elements to overlap.
