Yesterday, on March 14, 2016, the latest Hearthstone patch 4.2.0 was deployed, bringing several new features. Among them is a new Paladin hero…
Deck Slots and Deck Formulas
The number of maximum decks has been increased from 9 to 18. To obtain them, players simply need to unlock all the heroes in the game – most players will already have the additional deck slots upon logging in. Finally, it is now possible to save 18 “different” face hunters!
For newcomers and anyone who is still not familiar with all the cards in Hearthstone, there are now “deck formulas”. For each class, the game suggests 3 decks that you can assemble to perform reasonably well in the current meta. It is to be expected that these decks will be updated regularly, but fundamentally they are meant to be a “construction aid” to illustrate certain synergies and combination possibilities. You can find the deck help when you simply want to create a new deck.
Lady Liadrin – The Blood Knight Matriarch
Furthermore, Paladins can soon look forward to a new hero, as the game files for “Lady Liadrin” have been extracted. The Blood Elf was long the highest Blood Knight, a rather dark association that “drained” the light from the Naaru to bend it to their will (and lead the Blood Elves to a well-deserved victory). However, since the purification of the Sunwell, Liadrin has reverted to being a “proper” Paladin. As part of an upcoming promotion with Warcraft, she will be unlockable – to do so, you simply need to level a character to level 20 in World of Warcraft after March 11, 2016!
Finally, it is now also possible to pre-order 50 card packs for “Whispers of the Old Gods” and secure the C’thun card back. This purchase can be made as usual in the game’s shop. However, the packs can only be opened upon the release of the expansion in about 6 weeks.
