Soulstone: Heroes of Pandemonium Concept

At one time or another, we've all wondered what it would be like if one of Blizzard's non-Warcraft franchises got their own spot within Hearthstone, or a game just like it. Dexistor371 took his curiosities and came up with a mock-up of what the board might look like if Diablo had its own card game. Very cool! Dexistor371 has a thread on our forums if you'd like to provide your feedback.
