Hearthstone’s Newest Update Adds New Daily Quests, Tweaks Murlocs

Blizzard has released a new update for their popular online card game Hearthstone. In addition to adding some new daily quests, the update tweaks a couple of cards.

The update changes the description of the Ethereal Peddler to now read “Battlecry: If you’re holding any non-Rogue class cards, reduce their Cost by (2)”; this change was made to make it more clear. Additionally, the effects of the Murlocs will only affect friendly minions to improve mirror matches between Murloc decks. Finally, some new daily quests are being added to the game, and those who attend BlizzCon this year will also be able to get a special card back, which was also added.

Hearthstone is available now for the PC, iOS, and Android device. Here’s the full list of patch notes:

• Ethereal Peddler now reads “Battlecry: If you’re holding any non-Rogue class cards, reduce their Cost by (2).” This was done to make it more clear, especially with upcoming releases.
