Arena Revamp and New Season Now Live!

Arena is getting a big update in Patch 32.4! Arena is now split into two sub-Modes, The Arena and The Underground, each with their own Rating. The Arena is open for everyone, with shorter runs (up to 5 wins or 2 losses) and match pairing using both run record and player ratings. The Underground is unlocked after winning 7 games in The Arena (across any number of runs). The Underground is for hardcore Arena competitors, with unbounded matchmaking, runs up to 12 wins, and bigger prizes!

Drafting is also getting an update with new Legendary buckets in both The Arena and The Underground. Your initial Legendary pick will now be paired with a hand-crafted bunch of cards that synergize with it, so your pick can better guide the rest of your deck. And in The Underground, there’s a new Redraft on Loss feature where 5 more draft options are added to your pool so you can refine your deck and get back out there!

With this update, Arena is moving back to the main menu, once again swapping spots with Tavern Brawl. See our dedicated Arena Blog for more details, and log in now to get a free Tavern Ticket to try out these changes on us!

Battlegrounds Updates Coming Soon

Due to this expansion cycle’s modified patch schedule, the Battlegrounds mid-season update will come in Patch 32.4.2. At that point, Trinkets will remain in the Tavern and Anomalies will be added. Look out for the 32.4.2 Patch Notes, coming soon, for full details.

Collection Update: Signature and Diamond Cards

Several Signature cards that were previously unable to be disenchanted can now be disenchanted. Additionally, Signature/Diamond card availability and disenchanting rules have been simplified and streamlined going forward: now, if a Signature/Diamond card is sold directly in the Shop or obtained from packs, it is disenchantable; otherwise,* it is not.

* Such as Rewards Track cards, Achievement rewards, and the bonus Diamond card that is included in Golden Mini-Sets.
