New Keyword: Recruit
Cards with the Recruit keyword immediately summon minions from your deck and put them into play. Some cards recruit minions that match certain conditions; others recruit randomly chosen minions.
Spellstones
Spellstones are a new type of card which can be upgraded during play! Once you fulfill a listed condition, such as playing two Elemental minions, the card upgrades into a more powerful version.
Unidentified Items
Unidentified Items are cards which when put into your deck don't have a predetermined effect. When the card is put into your hand, the effect of the card will become known. Each item has its own pool of effects that it can randomly choose from.

Them "Squeezing" as you call it, is what's allowing us to have more new content more than once a year, and giving artists/programers and the like a job. There's no sense in crying about it, they're literally giving you one for FREE. They did the same thing last expansion too. You know it's coming, so you can save up your dust/gold so you can get most of what you want, or spend the cash to improve your odds even more.
Strange. With preorder and 10K gold you should open ~150 packs. I open like that and miss ~3-5 legendaries from latest sets (ones I open and craft the other good ones with dust I got from packs)
Don't preorder! Don't spend money on video games!
Wait, if I lose on a dungeon run, can I start it again?
Yes, but you start all over.

I know Blizzard needs to make money. However, I feel it should be 1 expansion & 1 adventure expansion throughout the year. That would be almost 200-300 new cards a year. That’s enough!!! My gosh, let us enjoy & have time to tinker & explore cards & decks, key word: TIME! Blizzard still makes money & we move at what I would call a better pace. Sometimes it feels like all we are doing is trying to incorporate new cards & figure out what works best & then BAMM: time for new cards!! Rinse & repeat! R&R, R&R, R&R, & etc. Anyway, don’t think I’m cheapskate. I don’t mind spending some money on a fun hobby. However, I think the game is being hurt by TOO many cards at TOO quick a pace. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. HS is awesome. Blizzard is making money & has a Pro circuit that’s making money! Chillax & smell the roses. Peace.

People already complain about the meta becoming stale too quickly. The only way to mix it up is (1) introduce more cards, (2) remove existing cards, or (3) nerfs. I think we all agree that #2 and #3 are undesirable.
I completely agree!
No, the game is beyond stale even now at 3 updates a year. They need to make repeated regular updates of some fashion.
You can look at Elder Scrolls Legends for a far better game model - they release a new impactful card every month and you get them based on your ladder rank, and they regularly balance cards, more than 1 or 2 updates a year.
And they're still doing adventures, where you get ALL the cards for your money/gold. What Blizzard needs to do is stop the greed, and increase the amount of rewards this game gives you. Elder Scrolls Legends has about 3x the acquisition rate Hearthstone does. Gwent's is about 5-10x Hearthstone.
At least Burgle priest now can run this 0/3 weapon and not feel bad anymore when stealing a weapon buff...
Hahahaha remember all of the "Pirate Expansion Confirmed!" I even said in my prediction that just because there was a pirate looking guy didn't mean anything. Hoping for a fun expansion!
Interesting note about Dragon Soul: it doesn't work like Atiesh. Atiesh loses a durability when it summons something, but Dragon Soul looks like it's forever. Lyra turns could be ridiculous.
Harrison Jones turns could be ridiculous 2... draw 3 card, deny your opponent 5/5s... that is what i call value...
I'm a simple f2p. I see freebies. I like.
Yea man! Really appreciate your vibe! :D GG Hearthstone
