Hearthstone Patch 8036

This patch is not live yet!

A small patch has appeared on the Blizzard download servers which contains information about three upcoming card backs.
Blackrock Mountain - Possible New Hearthstone Adventure / Expansion

Speculation: We may be getting a Blackrock Mountain adventure / expansion. There is a string which points to a presale of it becoming available and buying it will reward you with a Molten Core card back. This may not be final, it could also be Blizzard just messing around with us. Keep that in mind!

If you are not familiar with Blackrock Mountain, it is a massive Mountain between Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge (Warcraft zones) which is home to Ragnaros, Elementals, the Dark Iron, and Nefarian. In World of Warcraft, it houses several instances and three raids, and the first Hearthstone adventure, Naxxramas, was based off a raid in World of Warcraft.

Read more about Blackrock Mountain on Wowpedia.
New Card Backs

Three new card backs have been datamined, but no images are present in the client at this time. It looks like Ragnaros will be an upcoming Seasonal card back, and the other two are related to achievements.

Molten Core
Reward From: License Detected
Note: purchase brm presale
Ragnaros
Reward From: Ranked Season Play
Golden Celebration
Reward From: License Detected
Note: golden celebration cardback

Historically speaking, Achievements / Rewards which trigger off a "license detection" are related to owning a game (Warlords of Draenor Collector's Edition) or ticket (BlizzCon) on your Battle.net account. We cannot say for certain how Molten Core or Golden Celebration will be obtained at this time, but Molten Core does currently point towards a content pre-sale.

So BRD dwarves, BWL bosses, likely Nefarian as this pack's Kel'Thuzad.

It took our guild like six weeks to kill Razorgore. I think it took us only a couple months to do the rest. That guy better be awesome.

This has me pumped.

Gavinmad · Feb 26, 2015

There's no guarantee that any one boss from the Blackrock Mountain raids will be in there, which means we'll probably get the most iconic ones from each raid.

Meaning zero bosses from BWD since who the hell remembers a fucking thing about that raid lol

The Ancient_sl · Feb 26, 2015

What is BWD?

I've got plenty of memories of BRD.

Alex · Feb 26, 2015

I'll be sad if he's talking about BWL. I mostly only remember 40-man because I quit shortly after they made the pussy shit 25-man adjustment. I was hardcore as fuck. I just did Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep in 25-man.

Adam12 · Feb 26, 2015

If this is the next xpac, it's fitting that we'll all be calling it BM.

Man, I rest the fuck out of my case.

Blackwing Descent - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

The Ancient_sl · Feb 26, 2015

Oh I remember plenty about that raid just not the name.

Potions boss, Sound Dragon, Golems boss. The Giant worm wasn't very interesting.

Adebisi · Feb 26, 2015

I played all of Vanilla, barely any TBC, half of WOTLK, no Cata, no Panda, and a month of WoD.

Come at me!

Angelwatch · Feb 26, 2015

Blackwing Descent where Nefarian comes back from the dead as a result of who the fuck knows?

Alex · Feb 26, 2015

Sounds like that game really went down the shitter.

I can't take Reynad seriously when he wants to call people out on being dip-shits.

LOL - that's hilarious... Antonius after Milhouse - oh god.

Amzin · Feb 26, 2015

Never play Millhouse. Isn't that in the tutorial? It should be

TheBeagle · Feb 27, 2015

Wow, perfect storm. A 4 mana Antonidas from unstable portal and a hand full of spells. Bet that priest never plays Millhouse again.

Taho · Feb 27, 2015

What are some decks that are good counters to control warriors and priests? Running into lots of both on the ladder. If a 12k dust control warrior is played well, it seems tough to beat.

slippery · Feb 27, 2015

You basically want a faster Druid deck to win both those matches. The key against priest is an aggressive start, and warrior shouldn't be hard unless you just get a complete dog shit hand.

Taho · Feb 27, 2015

Cool, thanks for the response. I guess that is something to work towards.

Taho · Feb 27, 2015

Rough afternoon on the ladder at ranks 7 and 8 for me. First went 0-3 with a face hunter (wolfriders, arcane golems, etc.). Then, 3-4 using a midrange hunter deck. Ugh... 10 matches to get 3 wins.

I certainly make mistakes and don't always know the optimal play, but watching streamers to improve does not sound like fun.
