Hey guys!

A question about the format of our tournament going forward:

So our next tournament is due on Wednesday 27th of April. A recent leak suggested that Whispers of the Old Gods, and perhaps the Standard format with it, would release on 26th of April. This has not been confirmed, and may have been a placeholder date.

If we did assume that it was correct and Standard arrived on 26th of April, would you want this tournament to follow the standard format?

You would have perhaps less than a day to actually use the cards. This could be really fun, but I could also see an argument for it being frustrating. We also may not know for certain until much closer to the date. And even if we do advertise it as aiming to be Standard format, we may well end up having anything goes anyway if the release ends up being later.

So, patrons of this tournament, what say you? Hope for Standard format tournament with the potential of last minute change if it doesn't release, or advertise a definite 'anything goes' format you can rely on happening?

Our next gathering is tomorrow, Wednesday 30th March! Usual deal:

Registration from 6pm to 7pm. We'll start the tournament at 7pm, so you need to be registered before then, but it only takes a moment!
Entry is £3 per person, and all money collected will go to the prize pool!
Format is Swiss (so everyone plays every round) and best of 3 Conquest (so you need at least 2 decks from different heroes to compete).

See you all there!

Ok so we've had fair few cards revealed for the upcoming expansion, Whispers of the Old Gods! Have any of them got you particularly excited? I have to say I am loving the Lovecraftian Horror aesthetic!

On Wednesday 27th of January we will be running our first Hearthstone Tournament! Stick it in your diary.

It will be a Swiss style tournament. Matches best of 3, Conquest (if you win with a hero you can't use it again that match - so you'll need at least two decks ready to compete), with no sideboarding.

Details about times, entry fee, and prize structure will follow soon, but get building!

New wing tonight, but how are we getting on with the last one?

Sir Finley doesn't feel as impactful as the other 2 legendaries we've had, but has that been your experience? Has a different card from wing 3 stolen the show this week instead?
