Descend on a Pre-Release Fireside Gathering!

Blizzard Entertainment

The final clash between our heroic Explorers and E.V.I.L Villains is almost here – but before we officially take to the skies with Descent of Dragons, Pre-Release Fireside Gatherings will give you the chance to bust open your packs early and get a first taste of the aerial mayhem!

Attend a Pre-Release Fireside Gathering

Pre-Release events will take place the weekend before Descent of Dragons goes live, December 6 – December 9. Gather your crew and find a nearby tavern to join the fun, or come solo to make some new friends! Fireside Gatherings with the Pre-Release badge will also have unique items you can obtain from giveaways or activities – limited edition Galakrond Hearthstone pins, a Descent of Dragons poster, and various other Hearthstone goodies!

Once you’ve opened your packs at the gathering, you’ll be able to use your newly acquired cards to challenge fellow patrons in Pre-Release Brawls!

  • Descent of Dragons No Cards Barred: Make a deck with any Descent of Dragons cards, no restrictions on classes or copies!
     
  • Draconic Recipes: Jump right into the Dragon battles – simply choose a class and pilot new pre-built deck recipes!
