Hearthstone Gets More Deck Slots and New Formats
UPDATE: Blizzard reached out to us to clarify it's "re-evaluating a number of Basic and Classic cards" to make adjustments "to account for the removal of Naxx" and Goblins vs. Gnomes cards. This is to ensure what Blizzard calls a "truly dynamic environment." Further changes will only then be necessary if the "initial wave of changes" don't accomplish that goal.
Hearthstone is finally getting additional deck slots, along with new play formats for Blizzard's digital card game.
The news comes from a video on the game's official website. More deck slots — up to 18 from just nine — will already seem like a godsend to those who play multiple builds of the same class. However, extra space will also come in handy due to new formats, which the video promises are coming this spring.

Arrow: Haynes Teases ‘Sad’ Turn During Arsenal’s Return
Tomorrow night’s episode of Arrow, “Unchained,” features the return of Roy Harper aka Arsenal, played by actor Colton Haynes. We talked to Haynes about what to expect from his return.
“It's really exciting, it's also really sad towards the end. Something really sad happens,” Haynes teased. “You get to see Roy just be super ecstatic. Not kind of moany-groany like he used to be.

It should be noted this is not one of Barbie's new body types—the doll isn't Barbie dressed at Batman, but Batman as part of the Barbie line.
Mattel first unveiled its Wonder Woman Barbie, based on Gal Gadot's character, at San Diego Comic Con in 2015, noting Batman and Superman figures would be released as well.
The dolls are inspired by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the two already look a lot like the movie's stars. The new images from Toy New International also give fans a peek at the box art and packaging for the previously revealed Wonder Wonder Barbie.
