Happy anniversary! Today, March 11, marks 10 years since the launch of Hearthstone. We’re celebrating with a Community Day and Patch 29.0, including the groundwork for Whizbang’s Workshop, the Core Set rotation, in-game rewards, and more! 

There’s a lot happening with this patch, so we’ve organized it into a quick breakdown. You can click on the links to jump to that portion of the Patch Notes. 

Hearthstone’s next expansion, Whizbang’s Workshop, opens its doors on March 19. The 145-card expansion includes nostalgic characters, throwback mechanics, the new Miniaturize keyword, a build-your-own Legendary, and more! See all the new cards in the official Card Library today. This is your last chance to get your pre-purchase bundles, only available until the expansion goes live next week.

With the launch of Whizbang’s Workshop comes a new Rewards Track, filled with XP boosts, cards, Gold, and more. On top of that, Showdown in the Badlands Rewards Track achievements will continue granting XP even after the Rewards Track rolls over! Check out the Rewards Track Refresh blog for details.
