Hearthstone Wiki:News 3

Summary of works done from March to early April, 2022.

It's time to summarize what we worked on so far from early March to early April, 2022.

Providing visual of card changes[edit source]

For the first time ever, we will provide you visual representation of card changes that are not represented in the blog using technical solutions!
Check out Hearthstone Wiki:News 3/Visual for full list!

We want to hold on updating Core and our database of Core cards until we know what exactly is going to happen technical-wise on April 12, since this will be the first rotation of Core.
All Voyage to the Sunken City card articles are created.
All Voyage to the Sunken City card arts are uploaded.
Standard format will be separated into smaller articles, each representing a year of Hearthstone. Let's check out an example, Year of the Hydra. Following that, these Year articles will also reserve all the updates, changes, and major new features that occured during that year.
From Patch 22.6 (build 134558), we will start backuping card images that appeared in a patch before they received any functional change.
- For example, File:DRG_229_build134558.png depicts the card with id DRG_229 in patch whose build number is 134558.
- Old card images for older patches will be uploaded in the future, provided that we have enough time.
New article: Naga. Naga-related, Naga-generating will be redirected to this article.
New article: Put on deck. This article depicts a mechanic heavily used in Voyage to the Sunken City. Some older cards like Sightless Watcher and Lorekeeper Polkelt should also be included this mechanic.
New article: Dredge.
New article: Colossal. Colossal-related, Colossal-generating will be redirected to this article.
Patches article received a huge revamp. We will now use an automatically-updated table instead of a manually-written list of patches.
