What better way for the ancient evils to entice unsuspecting mortals than to make Forbidden that which they desire? Let’s explore these twisted cards from Whispers of the Old Gods, the most spine-tingling Hearthstone expansion yet!

While power may corrupt . . .  you’ll find that the risk of using Forbidden cards also carries substantial rewards. Playing a Forbidden card consumes all your available mana for the turn to fuel that card’s alluring effect—the more mana you spend, the more power the Old Gods will bestow upon you. What’s wrong with a little corruption, anyway?

Forbidden Flame

D-d-d-don’t touch that! Who knows from what terrible depths that flame has emerged! Forbidden Flame offers limitless power*—be sure to wield it carefully so you don’t get burned.  

Forbidden Shaping

Aw, such a cute little blob of purple goop. So innocent and easily influenced by the ancient evils. So malleable. So flexible! Just spend a little mana (or a LOT), and the Forbidden Shaping morphs to become just the minion you need to make things slippery for your opponent.   

We hope this little taste of the Forbidden has not corrupted spoiled you TOO much, as we still have plenty left to show you. Be on the lookout as the mayhem continues to spread.

*Power is limited by the amount of mana you are able to spend. Your mileage may vary.

New Feature: Search Tags

Quote from Blizzard

New search tags have been added to Hearthstone to help you navigate your Collection with more precision than ever! Need to find 1-attack minions to fill out your Hobgoblin deck? Want some high health minions to play in your Confuse and Inner Fire Priest deck? Or are you just looking to admire all of your shiny golden card animations? Don’t sweat it! We’ve added brand new search tags, and special keywords to help you search your Collection like never before.

With Patch 4.2, the Collection Manager search feature has been improved to allow you to search for cards with specific numerical values. For instance, you can look for cards with an attack value of exactly 1 with the attack:1 search tag to fill that Hobgoblin deck you’ve been experimenting with. You can also search for cards with high health with the health:7+ search tag to give your Priest deck some beefy minions to work those heals on.

Numerical search tags can be applied to the following values: attack, health, mana, and owned. Examples of some of the types of searches you can do can be found below:

• attack:1  Only find cards with an attack value of 1
• health:7+ Only find cards with a health value of 7 or greater
• mana:5- Only find cards with a mana cost of 5 or less
• attack:3-5 Only find cards with an attack value between 3 and 5, inclusive
• owned:1 Only find cards that you own a single copy of

We’ve also added a few special keywords to help you better filter your Collection:Keep in mind you can use the same numerical parameters for any of the four search tags mentioned above.

• extra Show all cards you have more than 2 copies of, including golden cards
• golden Show only golden cards
• missing Show any cards you don’t have (only works in Card Crafting mode)
• new Show any “New” cards in your collection

You can also combine these tags to make your search even more specific. Find all minions with 3-attack and 3-health by using the attack:3 health:3 search tag combination. Admire all of your golden epics with a golden epic search. Or use extra rare to look for extra rare cards you can disenchant to craft some new cards.

Some search functions have changed with the addition of these new tags. To search for a particular artist, simply type in artist:name to find cards by the named artist (for example, artist:alex or artist:horley; the name can be first or last, but cannot include spaces). Additionally, cards that include one of the special keywords in their card text, such as Elise Starseeker with “Golden Monkey”, will not appear when you search for golden (unless you have a golden version of Elise). Please also ensure that your search parameters don’t conflict with the other search filters. For example, if you have 4-cost cards selected with the Mana Crystals, the mana:3search tag will return no results.

With these new keywords and tags, you’ll be able to find cards and build decks faster than ever before—so pull up a chair, open up your Collection Manager, and start searching!
