Yesterday, Blizzard released a patch for their beloved card game, Hearthstone, and with that patch came a new hero… who is free! But he has to be unlocked first and you'll need a friend to be able to get him.
The 5.2.0 patch came as a surprise for a lot of players and brought a few sweet features and fixes. The biggest addition was the long awaited Morgl the Oracle as a new shaman hero. Morgl the Oracle is probably one of the most important character in Warcraft lore and one of the strongest shamans, and now he's finally been added to Hearthstone.
Though Blizzard isn't just giving away Morgl the Oracle, players has to use the new Recruit A Friend program that has been introduced. When players recruit a friend that is new to Hearthstone and he or she reaches a combined level of 20 across all classes, the recruiter unlocks the new mighty shaman hero. To make the Recruit A friend program even better both the recruited and the recruiter earns Classic card packs along the way.
Check out the rest of the patch notes bellow.
