Brave The Witchwood on April 12![]
- Join the best monster hunters of Gilneas as they seek out the source of a dreadful curse in a haunted forest! The evil in the woods will soon learn that it’s bitten off more than it can chew, because the people of Gilneas bite back!
- The Witchwood features:
- 135 hair-raising new cards
- New keywords: Rush and Echo
- Even and Odd decks – Build a deck with
Genn Greymane or Baku the Mooneater to boost your Hero Power, but you’ll only be able to use even- or odd-cost cards! - For a limited time after The Witchwood arrives, log in to claim three card packs and a random class Legendary card—both from new expansion—for free!
- The Witchwood’s challenging, free single-player mode, Monster Hunt, opens in two weeks!
- Time is short! The Witchwood pre-purchase bundle will only remain available until 11:59 p.m. PDT on April 11. This bundle includes 50 card packs at a special price, as well as 20 more bonus card packs and the In a Dark Wood card back!
Year of the Raven[]
- When the new year arrives, Standard decks can be created with the following sets:
- Basic
- Classic
- Journey to Un’Goro
- Knights of the Frozen Throne
- Kobolds & Catacombs
- The Witchwood
- The following sets will become exclusive to Wild:
- Whispers of the Old Gods
- One Night in Karazhan
- Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
- The following cards will go to Hall of Fame and will become exclusive to Wild:
- Ice Block
- Coldlight Oracle
- Molten Giant - Molten Giant is being reduced to its original mana cost of 20. The change happens when the patch goes live, even though the card will move to the Hall of Fame with the release of The Witchwood.
- Once the Year of the Raven begins, you will receive the full Arcane Dust value of these cards without needing to disenchant them (up the maximum number that can be used in a deck).
New Druid Hero: Lunara[]
Daily Quest Updates[]

Noblegarden is Coming[]
