If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you know I've been diving deep into Hearthstone recently. However, I'm about to fall behind with the exciting release of the "Into the Emerald Dream" update, set to launch on March 25th. This expansion will introduce a whopping 145 new cards, promising to shake up strategies and combat tactics in the game.
Alongside these new cards, players will encounter fresh Keywords to master: Imbue, affecting classes like Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman, and Dark Gifts, influencing Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. I'm still wrapping my head around how these keywords will alter the flow of battle, but it's clear they're set to shift the meta, especially with the expanded Choose One keyword. Every class will receive a Choose One card, offering two modes to select from during gameplay, adding another layer of strategic depth.
The excitement doesn't stop there; a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, is also joining the mix, promising to stir up the deck-building scene. It's safe to say I'll have my hands full when facing off against these innovative decks.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until the expansion's launch on March 25th. If you're looking for more card game action, don't miss our list of the best card games on Android to keep the fun going.
