Hearthstone's 3rd and final expansion in the Year of the Dragon is Descent of Dragons! It goes live on December 10th.
The Year of the Dragon started with an E.V.I.L. plan set forth by Rafaam and his crew of villians: to steal the floating city of Dalaran in the Rise of Shadows expansion. With their plan in motion, we traveled to Uldum and were reunited with the League of Explorers. As they try to rescue Dalaran we head to the year's final expansion: Descent of Dragons.

Galakrond - The Progenitor of Dragonkind
"Despite the valiant efforts of the League of Explorers in Uldum, Arch-Villain Rafaam and the League of E.V.I.L.’s nefarious plans have come to devastating fruition. They’ve escaped Uldum with the Plague of Undeath and twisted its ancient power in order to resurrect the most powerful draconic force the world of Azeroth has ever known – the progenitor of dragonkind himself, Galakrond!
- Rogue, Warrior, Warlock, Shaman, and Priest will all receive a different iteration of Galakrond.
- Each Galakrond features 3 forms. Playing two Invoke cards will transform to the next form.
- Each time you play an Invoke card, Galakrond's Hero Power effect will be triggered.
Sidequests
Sidequests grant powerful rewards for completing the guidelines listed on the card. They are similar to old "Quests", but easier to complete and with less powerful effects.
Malygos, Aspect of Magic
A powerful 5-cost Mage Legendary, Malygos Discovers an "Upgraded Mage spell" if you're holding a Dragon.
Kronx Dragonhoof
Kronx Dragonhoof is a powerful Neutral Legendary. If you've already played Galakrond, he unleashes one of his 4 Devastations.
"It goes live on December 10th."
"All players logging in within the first 90 days of release will receive all 5 Galakrond Hero cards."
Um. I just logged in for the first time in over a year, today, 100+ days after this release, and I got Galakrond!
Legendary sheep, +1 XD
samuel's sheep :D
cant wait for release
Last 48 hours were longer than the whole November xD
Lol.. exactly..feels like i have been waiting for ages
When is release tonight?
out of contest this exansion. meh.
why not lackey for guldan?
Another legendary for warrior at 8 mana cost?
another hero that destroy minion for Priest?
Another draw a card for guldan without the possibility to expand his deck?
waxared for rogue is malorne that cost less?
I think they should have made Galakrond a "dragon" tribe card. That would be cool for "if you have a dragon in your hand" interactions 😁
But he's a hero card. It's a bigger thing to be for a card xD
Yes I know, but Blizzard is making this game, so the thing is, if they have never given hero cards a tribe, doesn't mean that they couldn't do it now 😁
When does the pre-release event start btw? *NA Server
I guess as always 10 am PST
If you want to join the pre-release event, you must join a fireside gathering.
The event occurs only on the approved fireside gatherings.
But you can make one yourself (non-public).
As i know, the deadline of creating one was 2 December :/
So you can't make one right now. If i'm wrong, please correct me ^^
I don‘t know if you had to make a special fireside, but I created one just today. As I did the last few times, but I don‘t know if they changed anything. :-)
Can you open the packs with an unlisted gathering?
I just created one for 2 hours later. I'll write the results here.
Edit: I just changed the date to now. I started the gathering and playing with a friend of mine (so i even have a joined player) but i can't open the cards...
I think you can‘t open the packs until 10 am PST. At least it was like that the last times.
