New Keyword: Rush
Minions with the Rush keyword can attack other minions immediately after they hit the board, either by being played or summoned. They cannot attack heroes until the turn after they enter play, however.
Here are some example cards with Rush. Want to see more? Check out Rush cards in our database.
New Keyword: Echo
Echo cards can be played multiple times on the turn you play them. Each time, it’ll add a ghostly copy of the card back to your hand that disappears at the end of your turn.
Here are some example cards with Echo. Want to see more? Check out Echo cards in our database.
Wild Set Rotations - Year of the Raven
Say goodbye to some of your favourite cards of the past! The following Hearthstone sets are now WILD ONLY.

This is the only set rotation which is happening this year, the next rotation of sets will happen in April 2019 when that expansion launches. Here are some key cards we're losing with this rotation so get in games with them while you still can in Standard!

80 packs and I got 3 legendaries. Including the one in first 10 packs. Came in expecting nothing. Still disappointed.
40 packs, only one legendary besides the free one, feels bad man.
got the priest leg for free and liam from a pack, crafted lynessa and the pally quest and made a secret quest deck, doing pretty well with it, but I'm only rank 22,so I don't know how good it is.
;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; AVIANA ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-;
Hot damn! 101 packs - 7 Legendaries + Free Warrior Legendary.
Best RNG of any expansion yet.
Shudderwock, let me just say, LOL!
80 packs , got 4 legendaries plus the free one from login in
Emeriss, Toki, time-tinker, Chameleos, Face collector and Dollmaster Dorian
Kinda crazy that the Gadgetzan cards are already leaving standard.
Maybe they should reconsider how the standard rotation works, we're now spending money on cards that we can only use for about 16 months...
You can still use them in Wild.
this or you gonna get extrem powercreep wich makes your old cards obsolate still in long run
So do we get dust for the wild cards?
not directly, but if you are only interested in standard, you can dust all wild cards
Couldn't rezist crafted Shudderwock and im ready to roll out and combo it with yogg and grumble.
Let the memes... begin!
Why is important craf golden legandary? Doesn´t work with normal legendary?
If people desire a golden legendary its good to craft before you open packs, so you don't get a non-golden one. If you dontdwant a golden one then you don't have to worry about it.
Blizzard sever overload on the release day of an expansion?
The better meme is "Name a more iconic duo" but I'm too lazy to make it.
You guys can tell everything and I'm can't even get into the game because the table is full!
Who replaces N'zoth? I miss him already.
Nothing replaces N'zoth.
