Death Knights to be Removed from Arena on Nov. 14

by - 6 years ago

Yesterday, Community Manager Zeriyah announced that Death Knight Hero cards would soon be removed from the Arena draft offerings. The decision has been a little controversial, but generally well-received by the arena community, because it seems that the Death Knight Hero cards are incredibly powerful in the arena (especially Frost Lich Jaina). So if you want to draft some Death Knights, either for the general fun of it or so that you have an edge after November 14th, make sure you get in the arena before the changes go live!

Let us know how you feel about the changes in the comments below.

Starting on the morning of Tuesday, November 14 PST, we will remove the nine Knights of the Frozen Throne Death Knight Hero cards from the Arena draft pool. While the Death Knight Hero Cards are exciting and powerful to play, their permanent Hero Power upgrades are hard to combat in a format where answers are limited.

We will continue to monitor Arena balance and make changes on an as-needed basis. Please note this change does not remove Death Knight Hero cards from existing drafted decks. For a complete list of cards that are not available in the Arena draft pool, please refer to our Arena Specifics forum post on the official Hearthstone forums.
