With the latest patch, several new Warcraft heroes will be making their Hearthstone debut. Announced so far is Magni Bronzebeard, the Warrior king of Khaz Modan and Thane of Ironforge. More new heroes will be coming in the future.

These new heroes will be available for purchase from the in-game Shop for $12.99 AUD. Each Hero features custom portrait art and a bold thematic border, a signature card back, a set of personalised emotes, and special entrance animations as well as unique animations for their class’s Hero Power.


atch 2.7 also heralds the launch of Tavern Brawl—solving the mystery of Hearthstone’s missing fourth game-menu button. Tavern Brawl provides Hearthstone duellists with a different way to play the game by challenging them to go head-to-head against other players or friends using special rules or custom decks. Some Brawls will provide you with a preset deck, while others may have you build a new deck based on certain surprising guidelines. You may have to toughen up before entering the fray—Tavern Brawl is unlocked once a player has a level 20 Hero.

Tavern Brawls will be free to enter when the new mode becomes available, and you'll even earn a free card pack for winning your first Brawl every week during the launch period! The innkeeper is always stocking new things, so future Brawls may come with a different set of rewards. Tavern Brawls will be available Thursday–Monday each week, and the opportunities for new challenges are endless!
