Update: Poll #1 winner has been decided (it’s Snowflipper Penguin) and we now have Poll #2.
Update #2: Poll #2 winner has been decided (it’s Boulderfist Ogre) and Poll #3 has just started.
Update #3: Poll #3 winner has been decided (it’s Stonehill Defender), the fourth and final poll is now live.
Update #4: Poll #4 winner has been decided (it’s Evasive Wyrm). It was the final poll.
Okay, the title makes it sound a bit more serious than it actually is. Blizzard has brought back last year’s Twitter poll. They asked which of the 0 mana 1/1 minions they should bring back to this year’s Core Set. Snowflipper Penguin won and it’s a part of the current Core Set.
They’re back with the same poll as last year – the winning card will be back in Core Set 2024.
But that’s not all – according to the Tweet, it’s only the first out of 4 polls. I expect the other ones to also be pretty… insignificant. But it’s still a cool initiative. I’ll update this post when new polls show up.
Poll #1 – 0 Mana 1/1 Minion (Winner: Snowflipper Penguin)
Blizzard asked players on Twitter to pick between one of those four minions to put into the Core Set:
Last year’s poll for Core Set was a flipping success, so we’re bringing it back in FOUR polls this year. First: a rematch from last year!

(Note: Wisp has an Undead tag in-game, but the official card database hasn’t been updated with the correct version of the card.)
Results of the poll:
- Snowflipper Penguin – 42.7% votes
- Murloc Tinyfin – 32.4% votes
- Wisp – 14% votes
- Desk Imp – 10.9% votes
Poll #2 – Good Stats For The Cost
The second poll has just started on the Hearthstone Discord server. Pick one of the four “good stats for the cost” minions you want to see in the Core Set 2024. But I think that we can already tell who will be the winner.
Results of the poll:
- Boulderfist Ogre – 1531 votes
- Worgen Greaser – 448 votes
- Chillwind Yeti – 416 votes
- Ultrasaur – 356 votes
Poll #3 – Iconic Taunt Minion
The third poll has just started on /r/Hearthstone subreddit. Pick one of the four iconic Taunt minions you want to see in the Core Set 2024.
Results of the poll:
- Stonehill Defender – 1649 votes
- Treasure Guard – 443 votes
- Bone Wraith – 251 votes
- Circus Amalgam – 240 votes
Poll #4 – Elusive Minion
The third poll has just started, once again on the official Hearthstone Twitter. Pick one of the four Elusive (“can’t be targeted…)” minions you want to see in the Core Set 2024.
It’s our final Core Set fan poll! Faerie Dragon needs a friend, but it’s proving elusive. Help us pick which one of these shifty characters joins Core next year!

Results of the poll:
- Evasive Wyrm – 44.4% votes
- Robes of Protection – 34.5% votes
- Evasive Feywing – 13% votes
- Evasive Chimaera – 8.2% votes
Wish we got polls about actual cards and not memes…
Sure, sometimes I think asking the community for a bigger input in stuff like that would be cool.
Then I read comments about Hearthstone balance on social media and I no longer think that :p
