The Boomsday Project is Hearthstone's Next Expansion
The second Hearthstone expansion for Year of the Raven has been announced and five new cards have been revealed.
- The expansion launches on August 7!
- New Keyword: Magnetic - Played by themselves or can attach to a Mech minion to add on their health, attack, and ability.
- Projects are new spell cards with extremely powerful effects, but they help both players.
- Omega Project - These cards are normal, but have a Battlecry that works when you have 10 Mana Crystals.
- There will be legendary spells, such as one that draws your entire deck!
- We're getting a new Warlock Hero - MECHA JARAXXUS!
- Warriors are getting a new Dr. Boom as a Legendary playable hero (at least that's what it appears to be in the video).

When I saw the ending I thought "Oh, that's what he's been doing all this time."
So much for teasers, lol, well that is probably good, since this isn't based on what anyone was guessing anyway. This looks interesting, and new anyway.
OMEGALUL Defender
Finally, some additional mechs for my Mech Mage deck... Finally...
that legendary spell is every Miracle Rogue wet dream.
Also for BS Mage which is in dire straits late game without their DK which happens a lot seeing their sweet Jaina on the bottom 5 cards, u pull this card as literraly emergency button. Happened to me a lot of times vs aggro and midrange decks like Spitefull decks keep on removing stuff just waiting for Jaina and she never comes while u sit with 3 or 4 cards in hand with 7 to go? oh baby does that spell works wonders. plus its 5 mana cost so it doesnt hurt its synergy with dragons fury and allanna
EDIT: my bad i thought it was a neutral spell card. i guess that would be broken. Wait this might mean Rogue might actually play Toggwagle Azalina, with so much draw capability while keeping a strong board as Miracle does then u just play this vs control decks that have survived your initial onslaught. maybe im just dreaming
Except... you can't get that card as BS Mage because it's a Rogue card. Unless I'm missing something you're saying.
It's a Rogue spell.
My guess is that you'll be able to target the effect.
Alternately, since it's "magnetic" maybe it attaches to an adjacent mech when you play it...

Just watch this short video of the new gameplay mechanics of the new expansion. I hope I could help you
Only 3 packs for free? No wonder they are losing people, players and money.
This game has worst free to play mode. Played since closed beta and i can keep up, but for new player there is no reason to play this game and therefor no reason to maybe spend money, lame...
3 packs and a legendary class minion. Plus, we always get more packs from the adventures. And we might also get some daily bonuses, so please complain after you know everything. Also, the bundles are really good deals this time.
this expansion and the next one were already finished while BBrode was working for blizzard.... you have to wait for the next meta rotation if you want your "avoid being associated to this crap" claim to be valid
They didn't release an image of MEcha Jaraxxus yet did they??
In 2018, warlock players will start as Jaraxxus and turn into Gul'Dan as their win condition :)
While I would like to see adjustments to dust rewards and crafting costs (and more Tides of Time like 'double quest reward' events), what's wrong with them creating special collector's packs (esp. of the impact is purely cosmetic)?!
I REALLY want to know what a Mecha Jaraxxus is!
Wait was I kinda right when I jokingly said the next exp would be Goblins and Gnomes 2: more mechs and broken shit??? Wow this looks fun!
Have you missed that Dr.Boom will be the new hero card for warrior?
Yep, saw it.
For real?
