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.

mecha jaxx emotes anyone?
I wonder what will this expansion do to Wild mech decks, could be interesting, could be downright broken. Cant wait either way! :)
Man, I miss BB on the presentation vid

wtf blizzard. why are packs in europe 20% more expensive than in the US? 1€ = 1,2$ but the bundle prices are 50$ = 50€
What is stupid is the reason why they made the change to begin with. They didn't raise the prices for the US store when the US dollar was low, but as soon as the other countries currencies dropped a bit they gave it that bs reason (market changes)
Steam shows US dollar as base price and euro compared to base price is +17,46%, meaning compared to a US costumer the players using the euro store will pay aprox 17,5% more.
They already came out and said it was for some Brazilian tournament or something. Not related to anything new.
5 mana draw 10 is niche?
Plus two Faldorei Strider and you have 5 mana draw 10 summon 6x 4/4
PLUS you forget that Togwaggle exists.
Plus, with the weapon you can mill your entire deck putting a lot of spiders and then have the weapon mirrored from valeera dk.
Interesting
I don't like hero skins locked behind a paywall. I thought they moved on from it since original 3 and khadgar. Sad to see this is a thing now.
i really like elemental shaman, hoping the cards offer good synergy
Probably the people that pay for them
And lol $30 worth of Magic cards is going to be worth about $10 and not actually be playable dude
Spider Bomb = Meat Wagon value (well any magnetic synergizes pretty well with Meat Wagon)
Myra's Unstable Element is redundant. Rogue already can draw their entire deck in one turn :p
Jokes aside, the new mechanic Magnetic looks great. U can boost your minion to made a farorable trade or just put another body on the board.
Biology Project seems super abusable by Druid, but otherwise, great launch. Loved the video.
I love these videos and I love Dave Kozak.
I don't love that I will be $130 in the hole for a children's card game come August.

unrelated, but marvel HAS TO find a way to fuse the green goblin with dr doom.
the moment I heard/read about mech-related stuff, I started to create Mech decks for wild in my mind. Oh, this will be fun!
We need Brode back to cure us of this unstable cringe.
not cool with the hero...I am really down
