News Highlights -  

• Patch 29.0

• Wild reverts
• Arena updates
• Signature frame updates
• Catch up packs
• Whizbang’s Workshop event
• Leeroy legendary portrait
• Music of the Tavern
• Bug fixes and improvements

• [Hearthstone] Rules change! Temporary mana (such as from the Coin or Innervate) can now make you go above max mana. This applies to the base max mana of 10 and to any modified max mana, like if you’ve played Wildheart Guff or Audio Amplifier.  
• [Hearthstone] Another rules change! You can now have multiple of the same Sigil, Objective, or Aura in play at the same time. Secrets, Quests, Questlines, Sidequests, and Battlegrounds effects that use the Secret Zone are still restricted to one instance in play at a time.  
• [Hearthstone] Wrath of Air Totem is back, in place of Strength Totem, in the Shaman Hero Power pool.  
• [Hearthstone] Paladin has expanded its recruiting efforts! Now, whenever you summon a Silver Hand Recruit, it will be one of 7 different art pieces (6 new recruits and the original).
• [Hearthstone] Like card backs and hero skins, you are now able to favorite more than one Coin. Decks can now use a random favorite Coin, a random owned Coin, or one specific Coin.
• [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Harth Stonebrew’s Iconic Demon Hunter hand wasn’t iconic enough: the cards in that specific hand will now be their launch versions. We’ve also adjusted the hand order to make it flow better with Outcast effects.

• Server side patch 29.1
• A new tavern brawl! - “Say My Name”+
• Blizzard returning to China? - https://esports.gg/news/hearthstone/blizzard-reportedly-reunites-with-netease-for-hearthstone-in-china/
