Hearthstone® Card Unlock Overview

PlayVS Hearthstone® leagues will gain access to Battle.net accounts preloaded with card packs!

Updated yesterday

Card Unlock Account Requirements

Teams looking to get the most out of the unlocked accounts will need to dedicate time to:

  • Complete the tutorial

  • Level up desired classes

  • Manually open card packs prior to the start of the regular season.

Each account will be loaded with at least 300 classic card packs, and at least 300 card packs from each of the available expansions.

Receiving Your Account Credentials

Once enrolled, the assigned coach for the team will receive an email with their account credentials to login and access their unlocked account (returning teams will receive updated credentials for their previously used account).

Accessing Your Card Unlock Account

To access your card unlock account:

1. Download the Battle.net launcher, login with the credentials given, and download Hearthstone.

Do not update any account details, including the account password, as you will not have access to the associated email to revert any changes. Account changes may result in the loss of account access, and there may be a delay in account retrieval.

2. Once the game has been launched, three tutorial options will appear on the menu. Select the Hearthstone and the tutorial will begin.

3. When the tutorial is finished, the account should allow you to open packs and start leveling the classes.

  • The starting class is Mage, the other classes may be obtained by going into the Solo Adventures mode and playing versus the other classes.

  • To access Solo Adventures:

    • Navigate to the Main Menu.

    • Click Mode.

Opening Card Packs

Each account should start with a preset amount of packs. These packs give enough cards to create decks that are in the current standard rotation. To open packs:

1. Navigate to Open Packs.

2. Drag the pack to the middle of the screen.

  • The pack will open up and five cards will appear.

3. Click on each card to reveal them, and repeat the process to continue getting cards.


Important Tips

  • Core cards cannot be opened from packs!

  • To obtain the core cards of each class, the class needs to be played until it hits level 10.

  • To obtain the core neutral cards, the account needs to hit 60 levels overall throughout all their classes.

  • Navigate to Profile > Journal to check your levels.

  • Decks can still be played without core cards, but it is highly recommended that the core cards be unlocked before the season starts in order to compete with all the cards in the game.
