What better way to prepare for your trip than a chat with the resort manager? Log in to Hearthstone now to start planning with the free Marin the Manager Legendary card!* Play him and he promises you’ll Treasure your trip.

* Limited one per account. After Patch 30.6, Marin the Manager will be granted upon opening your first Perils in Paradise pack, instead of upon logging in.

With Patch 29.6, until the launch of Perils in Paradise on July 23, Genn and Baku will be added to the free Core Set! That means they will be playable in Standard and Wild for everyone during that time. Years ago, these two iconic cards were so powerful they were sent to Wild early! Now they’re back to celebrate Hearthstone’s history—and for a bit of revenge. What Odd creations will you Even come up with?

Buddies return for the Battlegrounds, and come to Duos for the first time, in the 29.6 mid-season update! Each Hero has a special Buddy that is unique to them and synergizes with their Hero Power. Press your Buddy
