Saturday Hearthstone Content/Meta Round Up #2

As part of the initiative of having a consistent schedule of content here on Hearthstone Players, we have decided to start a series based on what’s been happening in Hearthstone and on the Hearthstone Players website.

We noticed there are quite a large amount of readers who frequent our site every days, but because we push pretty much daily content, a lot of stuff gets pushed down relatively quick. To help alleviate this issue, we decided to start this series that sums up what has happened on HSP in the past week, as well as the general Hearthstone scene.

If there are certain topics/categories of news you’d like to see covered/included in this series, please do leave a comment to let us know about it. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Note: View last week’s roundup here.

General Hearthstone

• If you like data stuff, Superdataresearch released their latest findings on Hearthstone and noticed that the mobile revenue has surpassed the PC platform.

• Guide to getting up to 40% off Hearthstone Packs! If you play Hearthstone on PC or Android, there is zero reason to buy packs any other way.

Samsung S6 Card Pack + 3 Free Packs

Blizzard is gifting those that play Hearthstone on the new Samsung Galaxy S6 with a card and 3 Classic packs (source). Hearthstone community wasted no time in coming up with ways to get the sweet loot without dropping a few hundred dollars on a new phone:
