Страсти в Hearthstone и не думают утихать. Дополнение Катаклизм всё ближе и сегодня состоится финальный показ карт. Вслед за этим начнутся и другие события и разработчики выпустили пространную заметку в которой рассказали как о предстоящих событиях, так и о грядущих изменениях карт.
CATACLYSM Community Events and Balance Patch PreviewThe skies darken with ash, and the earth shakes as
CATACLYSM approaches! Today at 11:00 a.m. PT, the last
CATACLYSM cards will be revealed on our
Twitch and
YouTube channels, closing the reveal season. Starting March 5, join us for community events, the Pre-Release Tavern Brawl, and more as we prepare for the return of the Worldbreaker himself, Deathwing.
We'll be covering everything you need to know to view and participate in the pre-
CATACLYSM fun. Also, be sure to check out our preview of some upcoming balance updates.

CATACLYSM and theorycraft the new expansion. Participants will be streaming on their own personal channels, so make sure you’re following your favorite creators when they go live!

- APAC players will play on March 6, 2:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. PT
All participants need to include at least 10

Theorycrafters rally in defense of Azeroth! Theorycasting will also be returning on the official Hearthstone Twitch channel. Join them as they watch and cast games from our battle‑hardened theorycrafters across participating channels.
Twitch Drops will be enabled category-wide from March 5, 9:00 a.m. to March 6, 9:00 a.m. PT, so you can watch any Hearthstone stream you’d like to earn up to 2
CATACLYSM packs (make sure you
link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts so that your viewing time counts towards the drops). On top of that, participating streamers will have
Pre-Purchase Mega Bundle codes to give away to their audiences during the event!
Pre-Release Tavern Brawl from March 10 - 17We’ve got some exciting updates for the Pre-Release Tavern Brawl. This is an event where you get to open your
CATACLYSM packs early, build a deck, and compete to earn rewards.
The Deathwing, Worldbreaker Hero Card will be available for everyone to play in the Pre-Release Tavern Brawl, even if you don’t own it yet, so you can jump straight into
CATACLYSM and the new Herald mechanic!
Please note that this is a temporary rental. You can also obtain the card for your Collection through the normal means of CATACLYSM packs and, once the expansion launches, crafting.
We’ve heard your requests for the new cards to shine more in Pre-Release Tavern Brawl, so we’re removing older cards that tend to dominate the format.

Balance Preview for Patch 35.0 (coming March 10)Rounding things out, we have a handful of balance changes coming to Standard with Patch 35.0. These updates will be active during our Theorycrafting and Pre‑Release Tavern Brawl events. They are in addition to our usual balance adjustments for cards rotating into Wild. Keep an eye out for the full 35.0 Patch Notes for details on those changes.
Dev Comment: To give Deathwing the truly cataclysmic entrance he deserves, we are dialing back a few standout cards from previous expansions to raze the established meta and make room for new cards and strategies. Elise the Navigator is receiving the most significant updates across her kit, and Ursine Maul is also receiving a notable reduction in power, while the rest of the balance changes are on the lighter side. Our goal is for these cards to take a step back in the meta rather than disappear from it entirely. We hope you enjoy trying out the new cards in this refreshed landscape as we kick off a new year of Hearthstone!
Elise the Navigator
- All locations' Durability: 3 → 2
- Bursting Geyser (Deathrattle: Deal X damage to all enemies.)
- 10-Cost location (Fire Plume Ridge): 10 damage → 5 damage
- 5-Cost location (Terror Run): 5 damage → 3 damage
- 1-Cost location (Un'goro Jungle): 3 damage → 1 damage
- Nesting Grounds (Summon X 2/1 Raptors with Rush.)
- 10-Cost location (Fire Plume Ridge): 6 Raptors → 4 Raptors
- 5-Cost location (Terror Run): 3 Raptors → 2 Raptors
- Radiant Crystals (Summon a X/X copy of a friendly minion.)
- 10-Cost location (Fire Plume Ridge): 10/10 copy → 5/5 copy
- 5-Cost location (Terror Run): 5/5 copy → 3/3 copy
- 1-Cost location (Un'goro Jungle): 1/1 copy → Radiant Crystals can no longer be selected on the 1-Cost location
Blob of Tar
- Old: [4 mana] 2/4. Deathrattle: Summon a 1/2 Blob with Poisonous and a 1/2 Blob with Taunt.
- New: [5 mana] 4/4. Deathrattle: Summon a 2/2 Blob with Poisonous and a 2/2 Blob with Taunt.
- Dev Comment: While neutral outliers were a focus in this patch, we still believe there’s an important place for strong mid‑game defensive tools like Blob of Tar. We’re reducing its overall power and breaking up its repetitive play pattern with Ravenous Felhunter, while also providing a compensatory buff to support its board‑focused role. We’ll be keeping an eye on Felhunter as we evaluate its power level in a post‑rotation environment with fewer available targets.
Creature of Madness
Prescient Slitherdrake
Stonecarver
- Old: At the end of your turn, give a random friendly damaged minion +2/+2.
- New: At the end of your turn, give another friendly damaged minion +2/+2.
- Dev Comment: Stonecarver can no longer buff itself. Multiple copies can still buff one another.
Unleash the Crocolisks
- Old: [1 mana]
- New: [2 mana]
Ursine Maul
- Old: After your hero attacks, draw your highest-cost card.
- New: After your hero attacks, draw a card.
Deja Vu
- Old: Discover a copy of a card in your opponent's hand. It costs (1) less.
- New: Discover a copy of a card in your opponent's hand.
