Forged in the Barrens: Card List, Release Date, & Expansion Details
Hearthstone's 1st expansion in the Year of the Gryphon is Forged in the Barrens! The release date for the expansion was Tuesday March 30th!
Gather your gear and hold fast to your ambition, newcomer. This is the Barrens. The road before us winds through vast, sun-scorched lands, bringing danger and discovery beyond imagination’s grasp. Thorned dens of bristling quilboar, rampaging tribes of furious centaur, and treetop nests of soaring harpies separate the champions from the weak. The Barrens are the anvil upon which the Horde as we know it was founded: A literal crossroads where the tauren, trolls, and orcs came together for the first time. Heroes are made here. Perhaps you, too, shall be Forged in the Barrens.
Forged in the Barrens marks the beginning of Phase One for the Year of the Gryphon. Players can expect several major updates and balance changes. In addition we'll see new Battlegrounds cards and heroes, a Seasonal event, Duels updates, a mini-set, the addition of a Core Set, and a brand new game mode: Classic!

Kazakus, Golem Shaper
A fresh take on our old friend Kazakus. Decks built with no other 4-mana cards get to contruct their own golem.
Step One: Choose your golem's size.
Step Two: Discover an herb.
Step Three: Discover a second herb. With the exception of Gromsblood, the effects of the 2nd herb increase for each golem size.
Caravans
2-mana minions with a 1/3 statline. Each unleashes an effect at the start of your next turn.

The Cinematics
Some spells will remain school-less. They confirmed this a while back.
I feel like this expansion has a huge amount of incredibly viable card draw, so that's interesting. Maybe we'll get some OTK decks now that we have decent draw options.
And we didnt have any viable OTK decks ? What about Mozaki or Il'gynoth. Those were fun...
I have noticed that certain spells like Nofin Can Stop Us and Yoink! have no spell schools. I thought all spells are classed into one of the seven spell schools, but are there no-class spells as well?
Even that in hearthstone everything that's not a unit is considered a "spell", a lot of this cards are not really spells but more like "actions". And this actions obviously don't belong to any school.
For spell cards like those, they're more like physical actions and not literal spells.
Correct, not all spells will have schools.
Spells are the spell-equivalent of minion tribes
Must've missed the note on that one. Thanks everyone for your replies!
Waiting for Lazy Peon
Again some really cool artworks.
And I also like that this 10 Mercs are not just 10 different classes but also 10 different races.
:)
Newly revealed rogue cards are missing under rogue section.
Hello everyone! SHould I disenchant my classic wich are going to core set, and wich i will get later for free? Ysera for example?...
Ysera specifically with get a full dust refund because she’s getting nerfed, so yes you should definitely disenchant her when she is nerfed (but obviously wait until then). As for the other classic cards, it could be useful to save at least some of them if you ever plan on playing classic or wild format, and some of them could be also useful for duels or tavern brawls as well. If you only care about standard, then yeah you can dust them, but it might be useful to hang on to the potentially broken cards in case they ever get nerfed
Ysera nerfed? What are you talking about? She is getting a new different version, like Deathwing or Malygos, but I doubt that counts as a nerf. I don't think you'll get a full refund for those, but I gotta say that I don't know for sure.
Ysera's dream cards are being changed and you will be able to get a full refund for her because of that.
ATM the worst expansion that I remember. Just a doubt with TGT and don't know, Boomsday probably for the mechanic (magnetic)?
why there is 36 hours between two cards?
It's the weekend. I've been watching these card reveal seasons since 2017, and they pretty much NEVER reveal cards on Sunday, and don't reveal very many on Saturday either.
