Last week, Hearthstone added some new meat to its Battlegrounds mode. The new Quilboars tribe has invaded the minion-battling mode and they ve opened up some new strategies. While Blizzard has released a balance patch bringing some of the Quilboars at a more even level with other Battlegrounds tribes, some of the main strategies with them will still apply. Let s go over how to play with Quilboars.
Quilboar Strategy Guide - Hearthstone Battlegrounds
The main thing to know about Quilboars is that they re the lone tribe in Battlegrounds that can issue Blood Gems. Blood Gems are basically the equivalent of King Mukla s Bananas, in that they give a minion +1/+1. The main difference is that the Blood Gems will offer specific interactions with certain minions.
Starter Items will now appear when using the search bar in the item store
In the case of an early surrender, the winning team will now acquire a reduced amount of MMR (Losing team still has no gain or loss of MMR or TP, the player who disconnected still loses full MMR and receives deserter penalty, even if they reconnected)
Adjusted the default audio volume levels for new players

Ranked
Season 8 brought some big changes to our ranked systems. The removal of variance has allowed a lot of our best players to reach the MMR cap rather quickly. To keep the very top end of the leaderboard competitive, we are going to be re-implementing MMR/Rank resets for only the top players. Players at all other ranks should see no changes. This should lead to a new race to Grandmasters!
Over the last few weeks, Blizzard has indicated that Hearthstone will fundamentally change starting with the new Standard year. The Basic and Classic sets are going away, heading off to live in Wild. Standard players will now find a brand new base set of cards called the Core set, one that will see new cards rotate in and out on a yearly basis. On Thursday, Blizzard revealed the Core set and now all that s left is to see what s coming in and look at what s going out.
Shacknews has the full list of Core cards listed below, a list taken from the Hearthstone website. We re also going to compare this to the Basic and Classic sets in order to point out which of the old cards are leaving Standard play with the launch of the Year of the Gryphon.
