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).

Have fun overdrawing all of those spiders.
Damn. You're right.
i thought the spiders were casted upon drawing and the cards burned were the actual "real" ones?
Wow, I think many correctly predicted an Outlands and Netherstorm based expansion, but I don't think anyone was imagining this.
As a Warcraft 3 and WoW fan, I'm disappointed with the choice. Hearthstone Devs seem to not want to limit themselves from a design perspective by making an expansion that is closer to WoW lore thematically. But it sucks for warcraft fans who expected Tempest Keep, or for those who wanted a more mature theme.
I'm with ya bud. While I enjoy the ride each HS expansion gives, usually it falls short when it comes to giving the nostalgia feels over classic wow lore. It's just not in there. (Again mostly, as The Lich King and Bolvar, Fireblood are very badass and hot) So in spite of them being in the same company, they don't seem to be working that closely together (Team WoW and Team HS). It goes both ways though, as I think HS brings some great new ideas I'd love to see realized in Wow (Like Ragnaros, Lightlord)
This cliffhanger though:ddd i'd love to see whats next!
WHERE IS MY BRODE T_T

I thought it when i saw the trailer! Fallout VGC
Here's hoping the board actually has some secrets. Who else was let down when they discovered the WW cauldron did nothing?
idk. To me, everyone who promotes Hearthstone thats not Ben seems way less...authentic maybe?
Well yeah, of course, without Ben it's really less exciting, but the effort they put in making this, to me it's just nice they tried doing something like that.
Fallout flavors or is it just me?
117,00 BRL
189,90 BRL
The price is way too high for us Brazilian players.
:(
This is what happens when a latin country have the left in power. I hope we will be able to chance that in this election.
190 BRL = 50€ = 42$
you are paying only 63% compared to the US and only 53% compared to the european prices and you are still complaining??
this is insane if there were no region locks i could pretend to be brazilian and get BOTH bundles for less money than one bundle in europe o.O
"Don't sneak up on me like that!"
"Cool"
who agrees with me that the project spells could have better been a field effect where the effect is permanent until another project spell (field spell) takes its place. I know a lot of people wanted a field type of effect.
Just for the permanence factor alone I hope they have a time limit, like 3 to 5 turns. Crystal Core is all the proof I need to know that permanent, non interactive field effects are just a bummer.
I’m not the only one who finds it bullshit the new hero is locked behind a more expensive preorder right? $80 for Mecha-Jaraxxus. What the fuck?!
£45 for small bundle - 90p per pack [+1 golden legendary]
£70 for large bundle - 87.5p per pack [+1 golden legendary + Mecha Jaraxxus hero]
There is no interaction with playing Jaraxxus if you are playing as Mecha Jaraxxus.............
