The event will also have a special Tavern Brawl mode, The Headless Horseman Rides. Blizzard is also doing away with a recent change that made the first two card picks “synergy-based cards” that were meant to help guide future choices. Vicious Fledgling, a minion that could steamroll into an unstoppable force if not killed right away, will be removed from the draft. This is significant because it is the first time Blizzard is altering the Arena formula in a notable way aside from changing which cards are eligible (all of them used to be available in Arena, but Blizzard changed it to only Standard cards).īlizzard is also making some other, more long-term changes to Arena. You will pick a random hero, then a random Hero Power, and then draft cards from both classes (along with neutral cards).

But Hearthstone is also adding a new version of the mode for the event: dual-class Arena.
