In a new designer video blog from Blizzard’s Hearthstone Lead Systems Designer Kris Zierhut he outlines the exciting changes coming to the Arena in the upcoming 10.4 update!
Here’s a quick recap of the upcoming Arena changes:
- Each Arena pick in a draft will feature three cards of relatively equal power level, but different rarities.
- Picks one, 10, 20, and 30 will continue to have a guaranteed Rare quality card or better.
- The increased chance to see cards from the most recent expansion has been temporarily disabled in Update 10.4.
- The new Arena cards that were decided on at BlizzCon will also be added in Update 10.4 for a limited time.
- All cards that are excluded from the Arena draft pool remain unchanged.
- Other existing Arena rules in place that affect appearance rates are unchanged.
