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.

• Whispers of the Old Gods
• One Night in Karazhan
• Mean Streets of Gadgetzan

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!
