New Keyword: Excavate

Cards with the new Excavate keyword give you a Treasure when played. Each time you Excavate, you get a Treasure from the tier you’re on, and then you progress to the next tier, so the further you dig into the mine, the bigger and rarer your treasure gets.

So, the first time you Excavate, you get one of five 1-mana Common Treasures. The next time you Excavate, you get one of five 2-mana Rare Treasures. Then one of five 3-mana Epic Treasures. Once you tap out your mine, you start your excavation over at Common in a new vein! In total, there are 15 Neutral Excavation Treasures that all classes can dig up: five at each rarity.

Five classes are working with the Bloodrock Mining Company: Death Knight, Mage, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. Each of these classes has a class-specific 4-mana Legendary Excavate Treasure that they get when they Excavate for the fourth time.

Click the "Show Excavate Cards" button in this section to reveal them

The Treasures

Every Excavate Card has access to the same 15 base token cards and every Mining class (Death Knight, Mage, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior) has access to one more card, which they get by Excavating a 4th time. These are the Treasures you can get and they are NOT collectable cards.

If you click on the card images, a pop-up (which we call popcard internally) will open and you'll be able to see all the related cards and in certain scenarios also cards that synergize with the currently opened card.

Quote from SirLynx >>

what would be the reason to release an expansion this early? It's usually always early December if I'm not mistaken.
Is it because Blizzcon in November?

Madness of Darkmoon Faire was released in mid November 2020, Showdown is not the first one to have early release.

Likely because of Blizzcon and the fact last year the meta was a complete shitshow and they couldn't fix it cause of Christmas and New Years.

As others replied, a December release is not ideal in terms of devs being around for fixes and balancing.
