Patch 36.4 launches tomorrow with Escape from Violet Hold Class Set: Azeroth’s Most Wanted introducing four new Class Sets. This update also kicks off a new Arena season and includes free event rewards, the return of the World Championship Tavern Brawl, a new transforming Mythic Hero Skin, and some bug fixes.

Experience the Untold Tales of Azeroth’s Most Wanted

Azeroth’s Most Wanted features a Class Set for the following classes:

• Priest
• Rogue
• Warlock
• Warrior

Each seven-card set delivers a highly synergistic package built around fresh archetypes like Reborn Priest, Stealth Rogue, Kabal Warlock, and Pirate Warrior, along with the new Follow cards. Serving as a prequel to Escape from Violet Hold, these Class Sets reveal the crimes, chases, and betrayals that sent four infamous outlaws to Violet Hold. (Check out our in-depth Class Sets blog for more details!)

Each Azeroth’s Most Wanted Class Set includes seven cards: 1 Legendary, 2 Epics, 2 Rares, and 2 Commons.

You can find these cards in Escape from Violet Hold packs, craft them with dust, or purchase them directly.

Available for both Mage and Death Knight, this Mythic Hero Skin includes two swappable appearances, The Necromancer and The Lich, that you can switch between during your turn using the "Transform" option on his Emote Wheel. Each transformation is accompanied by dramatic visual effects and a custom animation.

Lich Lord Kel'Thuzad also brings The Phylactery, a unique reactive board-corner feature that gathers power as minions take damage and die. As it fills with energy, it fuels custom Hero Power presentations for both Mage and Death Knight, including unique takes on Fireblast and Ghoul Charge. (The Phylactery appears in the corner of the board and is replaced by your Pet when one is equipped.)

This Mythic Hero Skin also includes a custom portrait, entrance animation, victory and defeat sequences, visual effects, sound effects, board interactions, and more.

Stay tuned for even more Kel'Thuzad-themed fun in Patch 36.6...

All Mythic Hero Skin features are cosmetic only and do not impact gameplay.

Darkmoon Faire Treasures is our random pull system that rewards Pets, Mythic Skins, Signature cards, Hero Skins, and more. The first pull is free, and subsequent pulls require Runestones to purchase. Every pull guarantees a prize. As the prize collections in the Treasures booth rotate, prices adjust to match the value of the current items.
