Update 1 PM EDT: Added more info from the official blog post.
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).
- Logging in after the expansion launches gives you 3 card packs and a random legendary minion from the set.

No, the bigger bundle gives you the actual Mecha Jaraxxus card, which is apparently usable now.
you think it will just work like normal jaraxxus, but with new sound bytes and he'll summon bots instead?
ERROR ERROR
Blizzard... 80 euros for a fucking card game ?
*sigh*
*inserts credit card*
I swear this is the last time !
Stop preordering video games. Don’t buy this
I don't know... the cards in this expansion seem really underpowered. They didn't address the meta concerns at all. Mechs are already played out. Figures, Warlock gets something cool. I mean, did they even listen to the player base? I just don't get it.
/sarcasm
This all seems really cool so far! I can't wait to see more!
2 pre orders, are they both like 50 pounds to buy as well?
Togg + Prep + Myra's Unstable Element = uninstall hearthstone
you can allways keep enemy deck instead unless he allready played it once? wich is pretty difficult to achive considering you need 2 cards in your hand before doing this
your combo cannot work because enemy still has a deck while you do not
GvG is OUT!! PogChamp
Price was updated!
Prepare your wallet!
Normal Pre-order - $62.99
MEGA BUNDLE $99.99
***Prices maybe in $CAD, not sure***
In USD, it's still the same price
Jesus. In CAD it will be insane.
I might take a break from HS! =)
Are they trying to get their money back for giving us bonus packs in Witchwood?
Edit: Nevermind - that isn't the USD price. USD is $50 / $80.
Hero Skins vs Hero Cards?
It was cringy but ideas are amazing and production was high. I’m really hyped, I think they’ve put a lot of work into this one.
Sim! :(
Myra's Unstable Element + King Togwaggle
I'm in a financial mess right now personally, and only giving us a few weeks notice to get the money together for the pre order is not enough I feel. They should let us pre order from sooner as I doubt I'm going to be able to in time and I'm going to miss a great card back and a hero skin for the only class I play (warlock)
damn :(
They can't win. If they release too few cards the meta is stale and everyone gets bored. If they release too many it's too expensive.
