Hearthstone’s Latest Patch Introduces New Mini-Set And Updates To Arena And Twist

Today, Blizzard dropped patch 28.4 in Hearthstone, taking the adventures of the Bloodrock Mining Co. deeper than before. The card game's update adds a new 72-card mini-set, Delve into Deepholm. Thirty-eight of the cards are completely new and can be obtained in Showdown in the Badlands packs or as part of the full 72-card set. The set will run players $15 or $70 depending on whether they want the normal or all-Golden version. The latter also includes a bonus Diamond copy of the Deepminer Brann Legendary minion.

Among the cards in the set, players will find 4 Legendaries, an Epic, 17 Rares, and 16 Commons. There are three new neutral Excavate Treasures, one for each rarity. In addition, Shaman and Paladin each have a new class-exclusive Excavate Legendary Treasure, and a new Hero Skin is now available for Jaina.

The update also updates the Arena as a new season begins. The new rule this season is that the last pick of each draft is to be one of a curated pool of Duels Treasures. The first pick continues to be a Legendary card and no other Legendaries will be included in the Draft.

As for Twist, it will return in February with a new season, new card pool, and new rule – Commons only. These Commons can only be drawn from sets available prior to the introduction of Demon Hunter, and Caverns of Time. A list of eligible sets can be found in the patch notes.

Finally, a Lunar New Year event kicks off on January 30. It runs until February 3, during which time players can complete quests to earn special rewards – including 6 Signature Cards.
