Hey all. A thread🧵!

I wanted to take a moment to share our thoughts behind the dust refunds on Drek’thar and Vanndar. The main point of dust refunds has historically been to handle nerfs; you can safely craft a card, without fear that it’ll get nerfed and you’ll have ‘wasted’ your investment. But another situation started coming up a few expansions ago.

Thread for Q&A about the #BarrensMysteries. Post your questions here, and I'll respond while I can! Oh, I didn't mention this anywhere else, but wanted to mention inspiration for this sort of stuff elsewhere in gaming. Various games have done hidden puzzles, like the Sombra ARG.

Thread about the making of the #BarrensMysteries!

This was a ton of fun, both to create, and to watch the community solve. I've seen requests for hearing more about how this crazy thing happened, so here's a (probably long and rambling and unorganized) thread about that! Every year (usually Nov/Dec), Team 5 spends a couple weeks doing something we call 'Free Your Mind'. It's a fancy way of saying 'work on whatever you want within the world of Hearthstone'. Last year, I chose to work on building secret puzzles.
