The Adapt Mechanic

The new Adapt Mechanic works like Discover in that you get to choose from 3 random options. The total pool of options is 10 of which 6 were revealed with the announcement and the other 4 confirmed by Mike Donais on reddit.

Pre-Order Card Back

The pre-order card back returns! If you pre-order 50 packs for $49.99 USD, you get this awesome back.

Possible Season Card Back

A card back was shown on the official Journey to Un'Goro website which has an unknown origin. We're assuming it's a seasonal card back for April.

Clarifications

Quote from Blizzard

I assumed it was a keyword, sort of like a secret only with the condition (/option - I assume you can mulligan them away?) that they are added to your starting hand.

Quests show up in your opening mulligan and you can choose to mulligan them away. (Mike Donais)

The question I have is will N'Zoth summons count for the quest, I doubt it does since it doesn't for normal quests, but it does trigger some other in game mechanics (knife juggler I believe).

The Quest says 'summon' which is means the N'zoth minions count. If the Quest said 'play' then the N'zoth minions would not count. (Mike Donais)

Do we get a 'normal' legendary minion AND a quest card for each class? So 2 legendaries per class?

This is correct! (Yong Woo)

What about neutral legendaries? Prior sets have had 10-12, do the quests cut into that number? 1-3 neutrals?

5 neutral Legendaries (Peter Whalen)

OMG. Warlocks Dark Peddler can discover Quests?

Quests won't come from random effects like Discover or Babbling Book. (Peter Whalen)

So again, this means quests are not spells or minions, but an entirely new card type?

Quests are spells, but due to its nature, we don't allow them to be discovered/randomly generated. (Yong Woo)

Quote from Blizzard

In Journey to Un’Goro, Plant Eats You

Ready to join Elise Starseeker and her junior explorers on an expedition into the uncharted territory of Un’Goro crater? Your descent into these wild lands will be a thrilling adventure—you’ll make wondrous discoveries as you become one of the first to unearth mysteries long forgotten under the thick jungle mists. Un’Goro’s prehistoric inhabitants may not take kindly to your curiosity, but you never know who might appear to offer assistance in your time of need. 

Adapting to Your Surroundings

Pack your journal and a trusty quill, because there’s more to the inhabitants of Un’Goro than meets the eye—135 all-new minions, spells, and more await you in Hearthstone’s newest expansion. 

   

Nothing is more primal than the elements themselves, and Un’Goro’s ancient energies empower the resident elementals with a vigor and ferocity not seen anywhere else. Some of Hearthstone’s familiar faces will gain the Elemental minion type, joining the ranks of Murlocs, Dragons, Pirates, and Beasts for exciting new synergies.

Quickly, grab your quill—we’ve stumbled upon one of Un’Goro’s resident fauna, the Verdant Longneck. While it may seem like a simple, harmless herbivore at first glance, these creatures have the ability to adapt to threats in their environment. Write this next part down!

The new Adapt keyword allows a minion to become infused with elemental power, granting it new properties. Similar to the discover mechanic, you will be presented with three options when you play a card with Adapt. You can choose one of these three options to immediately buff your minion. There are ten total Adaptations to choose from, so you’ll have plenty of options to respond to threats presented by your opponent.

While we’re in Un’Goro, let’s be sure to see and document all we can. From the hottest volcano to the stickiest, bubbliest tar pits, there’s a wealth of new and exciting things to discover. Let’s make it a personal Quest to see them all!

Quest cards are an exciting new card type coming to Hearthstone. Quest cards are Legendary, so you can only have one in your deck, and they’ll always appear in your opening hand. Each Quest will have prerequisites listed on it—should you complete them, you’ll be granted incredible rewards! Quests show up on your Hero Portrait once you play them. Check out the Priest Quest “Awaken the Makers” and the card awarded from completing it: Amara, Warden of Hope!

Wake Me Up Before You Un’Goro

Be sure to triple-check your supplies before heading out on your expedition.! Dinosaur repellant? Check. Tar-Be-Gone? Check. A Hearthstone-compatible device to play on (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android) . . . check. It looks like you’re almost ready to head out!

Elise Starseeker and her band of brave, pint-sized explorers will be cataloguing their findings on ungoro.com. Since you’ve been enlisted to join Elise for this expedition, you’ll be able to influence where the explorers go and what they search for, so be sure to check back regularly and provide your expert opinion along the way.

If you see anything peculiar, be sure to document your findings with the hashtag #UnGoro. A true adventurer shares their findings with the world! Be on the lookout—we’ll be revealing Un’Goro’s secrets (and minions, and spells) over on the official Hearthstone Facebook and Twitter.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this first look at Journey to Un’Goro. More card reveals will begin on March 17. Get ready to take a walk on the wild side—The Year of the Mammoth and Journey to Un’Goro officially launch in early April!
