Since today, the new patch 2.7 for HearthStone is live. Not only did it bring three new heroes into the game, but also the card chaos mode. Additionally, there are several nice new features aside from these two main features.
Purchaseable Heroes – formerly known as Mercenaries
For €8.99 each, you can now purchase Alleria (Hunter), Medivh (Mage), and Magni (Warrior). The heroes offer a new appearance and unique emotes; gameplay-wise, nothing changes, so it’s just a fresh skin. The purchase price also includes a unique card back, visually matching the three heroes: Feathers for Medivh, Arrows for Alleria, and Rubies for King Magni.
Card Chaos: The fun begins on Wednesday
The new game mode is also included in the patch, but it will only open its doors tomorrow. From Wednesday 5:00 PM to Monday 6:00 AM, the new mode will be available each week. The rules for play and the prerequisites change weekly. Sometimes players will have predefined decks, other times they need to meet certain requirements. Restrictions like “Only minions costing 5 or more”, “Only cards depicting dwarves”, or any other crazy idea you can think of could be possible. To use the mode, at least one of the player’s classes must have reached level 20.
Many improvements in the Hearthstone collection
The collection is now much clearer: Cards can be sorted by their set with a mouse click (Blackrock, GvG, etc.), and the card backs have their own tab. If desired, players can now select a unique card back for each deck and customize their various classes visually a bit more than before.
