Hearthstone Brann Bronzebeard & Queen Azshara bug that causes game to freeze or crash gets acknowledged

Blizzard Entertainment released Hearthstone as a collectible card game. Hearthstone matches pride themselves on being fast-paced and requiring you to execute the best possible strategy with the cards you have.

Hearthstone is available as a free-to-play game, so you can try it without spending anything. It also receives constant support with new content and challenges, just like other games from the company.

Brann Bronzebeard and Queen Azshara are two cards from the vast catalog available in Hearthstone. However, those cards are causing issues for players.

According to multiple reports, Brann Bronzebeard and Queen Azshara cards cause Hearthstone to freeze or crash (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).

Brann Bronzebeard and Queen Azshara are part of the rich Hearthstone lore. The effects of the cards refer to the role of both characters in the game’s story.

Brann Bronzebeard card has the following effect:

rann’s effect does not stack with itself; if you have multiple Brann Bronzebeards in play, battlecries will still only trigger twice

On the other hand, Queen Azshara’s effect is as follows.

Battlecry: If you’ve cast three spells while holding this, choose an Ancient Relic.

That said, currently many Hearthstone players are facing an issue where Brann Bronzebeard and Queen Azshara cards cause crashing and freezing.

Game freezes when you play Brann Bronzebeard into Queen Azshara

Been playing reno paladin where I encountered this bug: When you try to double up on Azshara’s battlecry with Brann, Queen Azshara doesn’t have an animation. It then lets me choose my first relict, however, then the game freezes and I can’t choose my second relict until I reload the game. Has anyone else had similar issues?

New bug that bricks game for both players

Basically if you play Brann into Queen Azshara into her weapon choice then the game freezes up and you have to restart to gain access to it again. Usually I restart and my rope gets burned but my opponent’s turns just get skipped. It’s happened 3/3 times while I’ve been playing Naga Priest.

Nope. It’s a known issue that we are aware of and are working on. Thanks for the report though! ^JH
