A new update is now live in Hearthstone, which should bring a smile to those who like Battlegrounds. That's because Patch 24.4 brings back none other than Sylvanas Windrunner. She's going to be available in all lobbies for two weeks.
Players should also look forward to the new cosmetic - the Legendary Battlegrounds Boards. They have six different visuals, which are:
- During the recruit phase.
- During the combat phase.
- Special modifiers when in the Top 4.
- When on a win streak.
- When at low health.
- When landing a big hit.
If you're excited as we are, there's a bit of a wait since the new Murloc Hideaway Legendary Battlegrounds Board comes out on October 11.

- C’Thun
- Warmaster Voone
- King Krush
- Old Murk-Eye
New Mini-Set
There's also a new mini-set now available that adds 35 new cards. You can get them in Murder at Castle Nathria packs or as a complete 66-card Mini-Set. The Normal version is available in-game for 1,500 Runestones or 2,000 Gold. The All-Golden version can be purchased for $69.99 or 7,000 Runestones.
