March of the Lich King: Card List, Release Date, & Expansion Details
Hearthstone's third expansion in the Year of the Hydra is March of the Lich King! The release date for the expansion is Tuesday, December 6th most likely at 10am PST/ 1pm EST/ 19:00 CEST/ 18:00 BST.
The Lich King returns to Hearthstone, leading his Undead army and the new Death Knight class in an all-out assault on the elven city of Silvermoon! The Blood Elves won’t go down easily; they are as thirsty for combat as they are for the magic of the Sunwell that they draw power from. As the Corpses pile up, the Death Knights’ army swells, and so begins the March of the Lich King.

Expansion Info
- New Class: Death Knight - Hearthstone's 11th class will be the Death Knight class!
- New Minion Type: Undead - Many cards synergize with Undead, triggering bonus effects “if a friendly Undead died after your last turn,” meaning either on your opponent’s last turn, or earlier on your current turn.
- New Dual Type Minions - In March of the Lich King, some minions will have two minion types! For Undead minions, this might be a second type to represent what they were before they became Undead. These will be retroactive additions, with both Undead and second minion types being added to many older minions as well as those in this expansion.
- Returning Keyword: Reborn - The first time a Reborn minion dies, it is resummoned with 1 Health remaining. After its return, Reborn will stay in game as an evergreen Keyword.
- New Keyword: Manathirst - Cards with Manathirst get more powerful once you reach a specified amount of mana. You don’t have to spend that mana to power up the cards, you just need access to it.

- A companion Miniset will be announced at a later date.
- Login now to receive The Sunwell for free, which fills your hand with random spells!

As the Battle for Silvermoon rages on, a massive shadow blots out the sun. To their horror, the Blood Elves see a floating necropolis, Naxxramas, approaching their fair city.

- Will contain Death Knight’s first Location and Colossal card, Dual-Type minion creations, advanced synergies, and a terrifying new way to win the game!
- Will be released on Tuesday, February 14.
- Normal version of all the mini-set cards can be bought for 2000 Gold or 1500 Runestones and the all-Golden version can be purchased for $69.99 or, for the first time ever, 10,000 Gold.

To learn about them in more detail, including their drop rates and future looks, read this complete guide on them we did!

Once again we have two bundles available. The standard pre-purchase is priced at $49.99, while the Mega bundle is $79.99.
Both bundles are available in the in-game shop and can be purchased up to one week after expansion release.

Posted Nov 28, 2022 (March of the Lich King Pre-Patch)Anyone else think it's kind of an ass move on Blizzard to lock 26 of the new class cards behind a paywall? Every other card can be earned via packs. But the Path to Arthas says Mega bundle, stand alone purchase or crafting.

Posted Nov 27, 2022 (March of the Lich King Pre-Patch)Now that all the cards are revealed I kinda understand why Manathirst keyword feels underwhelming. You just need to wait passively for the keyword to be active unless you are a Druid which you can ramp to it. Speaking of Druid they already had two Manathirst cards, Bogbeam and Ironbark and back in The Boomsday Project expansion we had the Omega Cards which activate when you had 10 mana.
Anyways, I kinda also understand why the keyword isn’t flashy, probably because they want all the attention to be on the Death Knight class

Posted Nov 27, 2022 (March of the Lich King Pre-Patch)Death Knight is the new baby in the family. Blizzard still loves all the other classes, just not as much. That's probably why they forgot everyone else's class Identity this expansion

Posted Nov 28, 2022 (March of the Lich King Pre-Patch)Even though the supported archetypes are sometimes questionable, I feel the flavor of the cards are really nice. Rogue got concoctions, mage and hunter got arcane which fits, druid continues with Nerubian (even though Nerubians aren't druids, but at least it adds continuity in HS), ...
Paladin got some blood elf cards, but you would think they would do something with a holy package. Since holy was such a strong and important part in Northrend.. No, instead they got some random weak dragons. With 1 neutral dragon in the entire expansion? They didn't even do a new sindragosa. Missed opportunity if you ask me!

Posted Nov 27, 2022 (March of the Lich King Pre-Patch)This expansion with its "grimdark" design seals the deal of Blizzard leaving China.
China was ardent on banning game stuff with blood and bones, which might explain why we had so many cards with cartoon design. They even had their own WoW version with most undead stuff censored.

Posted Nov 26, 2022 (March of the Lich King Pre-Patch)I really don't have high hopes for this expansion. I think the entire meta is going to revolve around Denathrius DKs, and even if they nerf it, I think Jailer Paladin is still going to be a major problem. Jailer Pally is a nasty deck in the current meta, and there doesn't appear to be enough general removal outside of blood DK to really counter it. Meanwhile, Jailer pally is getting Street Sweeper to better counter the early board.
