Launch Day Goals

1. Login to get your free packs and random Legendary weapon.
2. Complete Dungeon Runs to get up to 3 more free Kobolds card packs. (Discuss your runs on our Dungeon Run forum)
3. Craft any golden Legendaries you really want. This is important due to the no duplicate legendaries rule.
4. Open up your packs! You get a guaranteed Legendary within your first 10 packs.
5. Share your awesome decks with everyone on HearthPwn via or Deckbuilder.

New Keyword: Recruit

Cards with the Recruit keyword immediately summon minions from your deck and put them into play. Some cards recruit minions that match certain conditions; others recruit randomly chosen minions.

Legendary Weapons

Each class has received a Legendary Weapon, yes, even the ones who didn't previously have weapons! You will get one of these for free, at random, by logging in when the expansion has launched.

Spellstones

Spellstones are a new type of card which can be upgraded during play! Once you fulfill a listed condition, such as playing two Elemental minions, the card upgrades into a more powerful version.

Unidentified Items

Unidentified Items are cards which when put into your deck don't have a predetermined effect. When the card is put into your hand, the effect of the card will become known. Each item has its own pool of effects that it can randomly choose from.

Wild Set Rotations

There are no sets rotating out to wild with the release of the new expansion. Set rotations only happen at the beginning of a new Hearthstone year which usually happens in April which means we've got another 4 months to go. We've got a great post explaining how these work right here.

Dungeon Runs

Dungeon Runs are a new type of single player content for Hearthstone, much like an Adventure. We won't be getting an adventure this time around due to Dungeon Runs but they're very similar in idea though Dungeon Runs have a ton of replayability.

• You'll pick a class to go on your Dungeon Run with.
• After you defeat a boss in a Dungeon Run, you get extra loot to power your deck up.
  
  • Passives: Cards that give you a bonus for your run.
  • Treasures: Powerful cards that are added to your Dungeon Run deck.
  • Cards: You'll get to pick between themed bundles of cards to add to your Dungeon Run deck.
• There are 48 unique encounters in total, which are further augmented by the variance in cards you play with each time.
• Losing to a boss in a Dungeon ends your current run.
• If you win a Dungeon Run with each of the 9 classes, you unlock a card back!

The best part about Dungeon Runs? They're completely free! You don't even need to have cards in your Hearthstone collection.
