• For all matches, each player will use Hearthstone card decks that he/she has created (using cards he/she has collected) on the Americas region servers on Battle.net.

​​

• Each player’s decks may only include cards that are in the current Standard format Hearthstone card sets; cards that are available in the Wild format set but not in the Standard format set may not be used.

​

• Matches will utilize a best of five, “Conquest with 1 Ban,” format with four classes per player each match.

  • Each player will submit four unique classes and at the outset of the match, both players will ban one class (i.e., identify a class that his/her opponent will not be permitted to play that game). Both players will know their opponents’ four chosen classes before banning.

  • Both players will communicate their bans to each other at the same time “blind” (i.e., without knowing which class the other player banned).

  • In each game, both players will pick their own classes “blind” (i.e., without knowing the other player’s chosen class).

  • When a player wins a game, the winning player cannot use the class that was used for that game for the remainder of the match. The player that loses a game can keep the same class or switch to a different class at his/her choice, with such a switch being a “blind” as to his/her opponent’s chosen class.

  • The first player to win three games wins the match.
