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.
• March of the Lich King contains 145 new collectible cards.
• 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!

Returning Keyword: Reborn

First introduced in the Saviors of Uldum expansion, 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.

New Minion Type: Undead

The Lich King commands the Undead Scourge, and these unholy masses will be Hearthstone’s next 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 Minion Type: Dual-Type

In March of the Lich King, some minions will have two minion types! 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.

Mini-Set Info

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. This evil entity is unnatural, but something about it feels familiar. They brace themselves and call for help. This is the March of the Lich King Mini-Set, Return to Naxxramas!

Return to Naxxramas unlocks Death Knight’s full potential with the class’s first Location and Colossal cards! But the Lich King isn’t the only one getting support. The Mini-Set also includes all-new Dual-Type minion creations, advanced synergies, and a terrifying new way to win the game!

• Will consist of 4 Legendaries (x1), 1 Epic (x2), 17 Rares (x2), and 16 Commons (x2) -- for a total of 38 new cards.
• 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.
• The Golden Mini-Set option also includes a bonus Diamond Legendary!
