![]() True to this year’s phoenix namesake, it really does feel like Blizzard is starting a kind of rebirth for the game. Not he: his honest fame should at least by me be maintain'd: But that old man, now lord of the broad estate and the Hall, Dropt off gorged from a scheme. It’s no exaggeration to say that this is the most substantial yearly update that we’ve seen from Hearthstone since the game’s launch. Blizzard has identified each of these cards as either being too powerful or otherwise limiting the design space. They are: Acolyte of Pain, Leeroy Jenkins, Mind Control Tech, Mountain Giant, and Spellbreaker. This year’s Hall of Fame cards not only includes six of the previously mentioned Priest class cards (Auchenai Soulpriest, Holy Fire, Prophet Velen, Shadowform, Divine Spirit, and Northshire Cleric) but five neutral cards. Joining them will be a new set of Hall of Fame cards which will no longer be playable in Hearthstone’s Standard mode. Speaking of cards, Year of the Phoenix will see cards released during Hearthstone’s Year of the Raven rotated into the game’s Wild format. That same offer will be extended to any players who haven’t logged in to the game within the last four months. New players will also be granted a free competitive deck in the class of their choice. This should lead to much fairer matches and a more enjoyable ranking process for top players. Furthermore, this new system will attempt to better match players with similar abilities based on their performances during previous and current seasons. It appears to be somewhat similar to the system used by games like Overwatch. Basically, there’s a new tier system that groups players into ranking classes until they reach the Legend rank. Hearthstone’s ranked play mode is also receiving an overhaul. Furthermore, this rule will be applied to any packs that you currently own once it goes into effect. This will drastically reduce the number of card packs you will need to purchase in order to complete your collection. ![]() While it’s still possible to unlock two lesser rarity cards in order to complete your collection, you will not receive further copies of the cards after that. Previously, only Legendary cards were protected from duplication. ![]() The headline feature of the initial Year of the Phoenix update is an updated pack opening ruleset which prevents the opening of duplicate cards regardless of their rarity. The calculations at the previous point still stand, while for disenchanting you'll get 400*2+20*2+5*6=870 dust.Hearthstone’s upcoming Ashes of Outland expansion will not only see the release of a new Demon Hunter hero class and a variety of new cards, but it will also bring some welcome (and drastic) changes to the game as part of the Year of the Phoenix update. If your aim instead is to upgrade the cards to golden with a discount and still get some dust later, you can craft the golden cards now, then disenchant the non-golden version after the patch. If you craft the golden versions, get the refund and then disenchant the golden cards, you'll spend 3200*2+800*2+400*6=10400 dust now, get the same amount of dust with the refund (so you're at 0 dust balance), then disenchant them for 1600*2+100*2+50*6=3700 dust, a whooping 60 dust more than doing nothing! Irony aside, you can get the same result just by crafting the golden commons and disenchanting them when the patch hits, so if you want this (marginal) profit and have 2400 dust set aside this is the way to go. If you do nothing you'll get 1600+1600+100*2+40*6=3640 dust when the Year of the Mammoth comes. Let's do some math, so you can evaluate for yourself (for sake of simplicity I'll consider you have all the cards in their non-golden version): Hearthstone: Hall of Fame Guide 2019 - Card list, dust refunds and more Our regularly updated list of all the cards currently residing in the Hearthstone Hall of Fame. If you want to craft them to profit from the dust refund, then probably no. If your final goal is to get all the golden cards and still get some dust, it's probably worth it. It all depends on your definition of "worth". Is it worth it then, if you don't already have them golden, to craft a golden copy of Sylvanas and Rag as well as 2 golden copies of all the other Hall of Fame cards? ![]() If you own a regular Ragnaros and a golden Ragnaros, you will get full dust for just the golden version.įor non-Legendaries, if you own two Golden copies of them, you'll receive dust for both of the Goldens. It's been confirmed by Zeriyah, Heartstone's Community Manager, that Golden cards will get considered first:
