The Witchwood is Hearthstone's Next Expansion
The first expansion of the Year of the Raven has been announced! Six new cards have been revealed. You can pre-order the expansion on Battle.net right here.
- The expansion releases mid-April.
- New Keyword: Echo - These cards can be cast multiple times in the same turn.
- New Keyword: Rush - These minions can attack other minions the same turn they are played. Charge but not overpowered!
- Monster Hunt - Four unique heroes in a new version of Dungeon Run.
- Pre-order - Contains 70 card packs for the price of 40. You also get a card back.
- 135 new cards - No surprises there!
- Free stuff - Logging in when the expansion arrives gives you three free card packs and a random Class Legendary card.
- A new Shaman Hero Card, "Hagatha", is seen briefly at the end of the video. Ben Brode confirmed that this is the only Hero Card in this expansion. (Source)
- Every class will be getting 2 Legendary cards this expansion. (Source)
Press and members of the community will begin revealing The Witchwood cards starting March 26 PDT!
You can find the official Hearthstone page for The Witchwood here.
New Cards
The cards are not yet in our database. We're working on getting the site ready for the new expansion.
- The Hero Power upgrade from Baku the Mooneater is the same as the one from Justicar Trueheart. (Source)
Card Backs
There are two new card backs. The first is available with the expansion pre-order and the second is a reward from Monster Hunt.
Monster Hunt
- Works like Dungeon Run in that you play a hero against bosses and build a deck as you progress.
- Does not use normal Hearthstone heroes, this has four unique characters.
Below are pictures of the Cannoneer, Houndmaster, Time Tinkerer, and Tracker heroes from Monster Hunt.
New Gameboard
As always, Hearthstone is getting a new game board with the expansion.
Yes!! Please make dragon mage a thing.
you don't fall ranks at the end of the month now though, so no excuses for lazy ass lazyness??
Can someone please tell Blizzard that revealing 5 cards and then making us wait two weeks before starting to reveal the other cards doesn't help the hype at all?
You're in luck then, they revealed 6 cards! /s
I totally agree, and I was actually hoping that with the later reveal we'd see less of a delay, if not no delay, in card reveals, but nope, it was not to be.
"Return to Innistrad" seems pretty good
The ancient Evil has returned.
It wants to kill you and devour your remains.
... but it can't.
What it can do, however, is "Tank up", gain roughly 10 billion points of armor and wait for you to die from fatigue, now that Jades are no longer a thing...
Muhahahahaha!
Also you'd have to draw into Archbishop, since Azalina replaces your hand.
Hmmm..do 0 Mana cards count as even, odd, both, or niether?
Sorry guys, but there seems to be some question as to whether 0 is odd or even or neither or both by some here. Let me be the a$$hole and put the definition in here.
An odd number is defined as 2k+1 where k is an integer. An integer is any "whole" number either positive or
negative. If k is -1 then 2 x (-1) + 1 = -1 and if k = 0 then (2 x 0) + 1 =1. Since there are no other integers between -1 and 0, 0 is even.
Omg its math plz stop! Have mercy on my brain!
its a pc game: 0 %2 = 0 aka even :D
I have my degree in Mathmatics. I can't help myself when a question that should be easy in junior high (or earlier) is being asked by so many people. Good luck to those who this helps on their next test.
Numberphile did a video on it, and it is even.... which is odd :)
Have to admit that all logic aside, 0 looks pretty even :)
Some teachers suck and give bad definitions sometimes that stick. Honestly I can't remember ever having it come up in my entire life. That said, thanks for the explanation. :D
Should be fine. "In your deck" has always meant literally in the deck, and "at the start of the game" functions have always kicked in after mulligan.
Kicks in after mulligan. What's your point?
Ah, and I think it will be really great to get know more lore about Witchwood, coz I have never played WoW....
