Update: It looks like there were some major issues with Arena (Discover & random generation not working properly) and the mode got temporarily disabled.
Arena is disabled. We’re continuing to work on this.

Update #2: Another hotfix went live and Arena is enabled again. On top of the bug fixes, Demon Hunter’s Legacy Set is now draftable (so the class has at least some class cards to pick from). Also, in Battlegrounds, the Evil Twin Quest reward no longer works with Khadgar, so you can’t cheese out some crazy boards this way.
11/11 Hotfix [Updated]:
We are currently in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix patch that will fix the Arena discover bug and re-open the Arena! All runs will resume where they were prior to the Arena closing. Players who played any Arena matches in the short period when the bug was live have been compensated with a free Arena ticket. This patch also includes two additional updates:
- [Arena] The Demon Hunter Legacy Set has been added to the Arena pool.
- [Battlegrounds] Khadgar will no longer summon copies of Evil Twins.
A small hotfix patch was released earlier today. It mostly contained Battlegrounds and Arena balance changes. The patch is server-side so you don’t need to download anything.
In Battlegrounds, certain Quests/rewards got re-balanced and a few of them returned to the pool after getting fixed. Two Heroes (C’thun and Jailer) got their Armor tier adjusted too.
In Arena, we had a big change to drafting – not only the Basic set is now available (it wasn’t previously), but Class cards will now appear significantly more often (the current event had a really low power level, and with decks full of Neutral cards it was even worse). They will release more adjustments if necessary.
We also got a bug fix – many deck codes weren’t saving correctly and they should now.
Check out full patch notes below:
