Hearthstone Taverns of Time Adds New Arena Only Cards & Get In Here Bundle

In update 11.2, Blizzard have announced the new Taverns of Time mode will be starting on June 11, and it will run all the way through to July 2. But what can players expect exactly?

It’s essentially an addition to the existing arena mode. Toki, Time-Tinker is a 6-cost 5/5 legendary minion, and she adds a “legendary minion from the past” to your hand. That essentially means any legendary minion that is currently in Wild, not Standard. Blizzard have taken this concept and applied it to a three-week long in-game event that will introduce 28 new cards to arena mode.

There’s 10 neutral cards, plus two for each class, and all of them have very interesting effects. Some of our favorites are Fatecleaver, the 4-cost 4/2 Warrior weapon that removes any copies of a minion it kills no matter where they are. If such a card was in constructed it would be the ultimate anti-meta tool. Murozond, a 7-cost 6/6 is another very interesting one, taking the effect of Nozdormu but giving it a very positive spin with card draw. Chromie is perhaps the most fascinating, a 4-cost 4/4 that adds four ‘Historical Epochs’ to your deck. You can check out the different Historical Epochs below.

If you want to give Blizzard more of your money, they’re also introducing a new card pack bundle called the ‘Get In Here’ bundle. Named after the Grim Patron’s war cry as he enters the battlefield (flashbacks of Patron Warrior begin), it includes two packs from five different sets; Classic, Witchwood, Un’Goro, Kobolds & Catacombs, and Frozen Throne. It’ll be available until June 19, but a price point hasn’t been announced yet. As a final bonus as part of this update, if you log into Hearthstone on June 13, you’ll receive a free gold classic pack, which is full of golden cards.

This update hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows though. Blizzard have nerfed both Lynessa Sunsorrow and Tess Greymane, and the community is furious. You can read more about that here, and check out Blizzard’s full patch notes here.
