(Yes, these are april fools patch notes. This is done with love to Blizzard and the Hearthstone team, emulating some of the patch notes that WoW has a tradition of doing. No I am not a Blizzard representative nor do I pretend to be one. I’ve been doing it for 4 years now and I’m not going to stop any time soon. I am just poking fun at the last year of Hearthstone. Hiding the card changes under the headers for better formatting.)
Patch Build 13.5.1337
It is time to take a look back at all the recent sets released this year and give them their due respect. But first, we have a VERY IMPORTANT announcement to announcement.
Hall of Fame:
Instead of Rotating Baku and Genn like we just announced we decided instead to make them the new evergreen set. That’s right. Literally every card aside from Baku and Genn are being released into the wild. We hope this pushes standard in a new direction as you’ll be forced to use nothing but Baku and Genn for the remainder of year. Much love from us to you here at Blizzard Entertainment Headquarters.
General Changes:
Finally we’re adding a long awaited feature to Hearthstone. That’s right, the ability to unsquelch yourself! No longer will the player be forced to be silenced by unruly opponents. We put so much effort into those emotes over the years, it’s not fair if players can’t hear them over and over again.
We decided to remove all boards aside from the Un’goro one in an effort to promote Ecological awareness Give a little, save some lives today. (Note, this announcement is sponsored by D.E.H.T.A, D.E.H.T.A Keeping your pets encrypted.)
Also, a missing persons report. Beloved Hearthstone directer Ben Brode has been missing since April of last year, if you see him please take him in and feed him, perhaps give him a card pack to calm the nerves. Then contact your nearest hearthstone representative and we’ll get in touch to return him to his home. Ben Brode please come back, we miss you. It’s not the same without your boisterous laugh echoing through the money pits of Blizzard HQ.
And onto some very important class changes.
