30.6 Patch Notes

Patch 30.6, launching today, starts the countdown to Hearthstone’s next expansion, The Great Dark Beyond, brings Prince Renathal back to Standard for a limited time, includes free Legendary cards, brings a new infusion of Trinkets to Battlegrounds, and more!

Prepare to blast off into The Great Dark Beyond on November 5! The Draenei’s planet was taken over by the Burning Legion. Now these “exiled ones” are on the run, and in search of a new home. Join them in their journey and explore everything the cosmos has to offer: build-your-own Starships, the new Draenei minion type, the returning Spellburst keyword, an unstoppable demon army, and more. It’s nearly time to venture into The Great Dark Beyond!

The Great Dark Beyond has 145 all-new collectible cards. You can learn more about the mysteries of the universe in The Great Dark Beyond Announcement Blog. Two stellar pre-purchase options are available now for launch!

Pre-purchase

Log in to Hearthstone now to get your first burst of cosmic energy with the free Nexus-Prince Shaffar Legendary card!* Trigger a chain reaction of Spellburst effects for a huge surge in power.

* Limit one per account. After Patch 31.6, Nexus-Prince Shaffar will be granted upon opening your first The Great Dark Beyond pack, instead of upon logging in.

With Patch 30.6, until the launch of The Great Dark Beyond on November 5, Prince Renathal will be added to the free Core Set! That means he will be playable for all players in Standard and Wild during that time. Two years ago, Renathal had his run of the meta and had to be reined in. Now he’s back with a vengeance! What will you be able to do with 10 extra life and 10 extra cards in your deck?!

Continuing our year-long celebration of Hearthstone’s 10th year, we’re also giving away another free Legendary card! Play a single game in Patch 30.6 and automatically earn the Avatar of Hearthstone Legendary card.* Crack a pack for big board impact—what do you hope to open?
