Hearthstone Battlegrounds Patch Notes 30.0
In the upcoming Hearthstone Battlegrounds Patch 30.0, several exciting changes are on the way. Scheduled to launch soon, this update brings new heroes, minions, and balance adjustments to the popular game mode.
Players can look forward to trying out new heroes with unique abilities that can turn the tide of battles. There will be fresh minions joining the fray, each with their own special powers and strategies to explore. These additions aim to shake up gameplay dynamics, offering new strategies and tactics for players to master.
Alongside new content, Patch 30.0 also includes balance tweaks. This means some existing heroes and minions might receive adjustments to ensure fair and engaging gameplay for everyone. These changes are based on feedback from the community and ongoing gameplay data analysis.
These are the New Updates:
Card Update
Splish-Splash Whelp had to take a short time-out, but now it's unbanned in Standard, in summer-shape, and ready to enjoy the launch of Perils in Paradise.
- Old: [2 Mana] 1/1
- New: [3 Mana] 3/2
This card will be eligible for a full dust refund for two weeks following Patch 30.0.
Core Set Updates
Perils in Paradise promises tons of scenic views, including 6 new Locations that can open early if you meet the right conditions. But building a new resort takes lots of construction—and lots of demolition—so we brought Demolition Renovator back to the free Core Set in Patch 30.0, with plans that she hang around until the regular Core Set rotation at the start of the next Hearthstone year.
Separately, the limited-time inclusion of Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater in the Core Set will end with the launch of Perils in Paradise on July 23, so this is your last call to use them in Standard before they return to Wild-only.
In-Game Event: Perils in Paradise
After you arrive at the Marin and get yourself situated, it’s time to get out and see what the resort has to offer! From July 30 to August 20, complete Event Quests to earn Event XP on the special event rewards track. Complete the rewards track to earn 6 Perils in Paradise packs and the Icecream Sai Death Knight Hero Skin.
Battlegrounds Update
Buddies are sticking around a bit longer (until the next Battlegrounds season, in Patch 30.2), so we’re keeping up the fun with a returning Tavern Spell that lets you make even more friends:
Buddy Up
[Tier 5, 3 Gold] Discover a Buddy.
Arena Updates
On July 16, with Patch 30.0, all ongoing Arena runs will end and a new Arena season will begin. To celebrate island-hopping tourism, dual-class Arena returns! During this season, curated draft pool buckets are out, and full expansions are back in. You will still only be offered one Legendary card, as the first card of your draft, and for this season class cards will appear about twice as often as before!
The eligible sets that will make up this Arena card pool are:
- Core Set
- Festival of Legends
- TITANS
- Showdown in the Badlands
- Whizbang’s Workshop
- Perils in Paradise
Hearthstone: Music of the Tavern
The year-long celebration continues with more sounds of the tavern. Hearthstone: Music from the Tavern - Volume 1, live with Patch 30.0! Start your vacation off right with 50 of Hearthstone’s iconic in-game tracks, available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube, and Deezer!

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements
- [Hearthstone] “Temporary” has now been made into a keyword, meaning “this card will be discarded at the end of your turn.” This is primarily a text-only change that will not change existing card functionality.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Sandbox Scoundrel’s cost reduction effect persisted if the reduced card was Countered.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where a Nostalgic Clown couldn’t ever activate the effect of the Miniaturized Nostalgic Clown (such as, if the Nostalgic Clown was returned to hand and replayed while the Mini was still in hand).
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Galactic Projection Orb could pick itself for the 10-mana spell, but then be blocked from resolving it, resulting in no 10-mana spell going off.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where newly created copies of Floppy Hydra wouldn’t be drawn by Sharp-Eyed Seeker.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Celestial Ink Set was triggered when the enemy played spells.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Wickerclaw’s effect activated when the enemy gained Attack.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Scourge Supplies didn’t function properly with cards that had effects that immediately triggered when drawn.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Magnetic minions given Spell Damage wouldn’t carry the effect over when Magnetized.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where the Immune tooltip was incomplete.
- [Hearthstone] Updated the text on Lab Patron and Molten Giant to more accurately reflect their effects.
- [Twist] Fixed a bug where Thorim’s hero power could get permanently upgraded.
- [Twist] Updated the interaction between Xyrella and Tamsin so that Tamsin’s second life doesn’t block Xyrella from winning if she purifies her shard.
- [Battlegrounds] In Duos, the first person in combat (between you or your partner) will no longer always swap each turn. You can still see the upcoming combat order on the scoreboard on the left side.
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where cards like Defiant Shipwright and Whelp Smuggler only triggered once if they got two of the same triggering condition at the same time (such as if you have two copies of Timecap’n Hooktail in play and played a spell).
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Defiant Shipwright’s effect didn’t trigger if it got its Attack buffed while in the Tavern (on Bob’s side of the board, before you buy it).
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where you could sometimes finish a game in Solo Battlegrounds and then have Duos be selected for your next game.
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Feisty Freshwater didn’t work with Millhouse Manastorm’s Hero Power.
- [Shop] Fixed a bug where in-game Gold purchases were blocked for some players.
- [Solo Content] Fixed a bug where Dalaran Heist and Tombs of Terror ignored player deck selection.
- [Social] Fixed a bug where some mobile devices would cause crashes when using the in-game chat feature.
- [Cosmetics] Fixed bugs with Ulfar and Blood Queen Lana’thel’s Hero Power animations.
- Misc. other bug fixed and game improvements.
Hearthstone
Hearthstone is a game you play on computers and phones where you collect cards and use them to fight other players. Blizzard Entertainment makes it and is free to play. The game is based on characters and places from Warcraft, another popular game series by Blizzard. You pick a hero with special powers and make a deck of 30 cards to play with.
Each card costs mana crystals, which you get every turn. The goal is to reduce your opponent's health to zero by using cards to attack or defend. You can earn new cards by winning matches or completing quests. Hearthstone has different modes like playing against others online, building decks in the Arena, and solo adventures. It's popular because it's easy to learn but has strategies that keep it interesting.
Release Date
Hearthstone was first released on March 11, 2014, for computers like Windows and Mac. It came out on phones later that year, with iOS on April 16, 2014, and Android on December 15, 2014. Blizzard Entertainment, the company that made Hearthstone, wanted players to be able to play the game on different devices like computers, phones, and tablets.
This way, more people could enjoy the game no matter where they were. The game quickly became popular because of its easy-to-understand gameplay and the excitement of collecting new cards.
Gameplay
Hearthstone is a game where two players compete against each other using cards. Each player picks a hero with special abilities and builds a deck of 30 cards to fight with. The game takes place in turns, where players use mana crystals to play cards from their hands. Cards can be minions that fight for you, spells that do special things, or weapons that let you attack directly.
The goal is to use your cards wisely to reduce your opponent's health to zero. Players earn mana crystals each turn to play stronger cards as the game goes on. Hearthstone has different modes like playing against friends or strangers online, joining special events like Arena battles, or playing alone in adventures.
It's a game that's easy to start playing but has strategies that make each match exciting and different.
