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.

Why it's so childish? Am I too old for this game?
It's to get young people hooked. They know you'll play either way. It's kind of like CGI films that try to appeal to both kids and adults.
The aesthetics have gone downhill ever since Blackrock Mountain.
Are we too old for "any" game? Thats the real question..
I can’t wait to see the dozens of replays of players wanting to combine their mechs but placing it on the right instead of the left
I like little additional bonus to pre order :) like legendary or more packs. Even if we had omega bundle for 150 usd and 150 packs would be even greater. Will we receive new dungeon run/monster hunt. What should be this single player content, any information?
but, man:: Lakkari Sacrifice, Clutchmother Zavas synergy is insane !!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^ combine it with Cataclysm 90% of the time discarding Bloodreaver Gul'dan is so OP!!!!!
Lakkari Sacrifice, Clutchmother Zavas, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Glinda Crowskin... all of these are worse and more niche than any rogue legendary with the exception of Lilian Voss and maaaybe Face Collector. actually if i look through my collection rogue has some of the coolest class legendaries. (i dont enjoy the quest though)
Glinda is pretty nice in Wild Giantlock. Smashing 6 8/8 Giants on the table once you have 10 life feels insane :D
it says twice, not double times :(
The thing is tthe spell Will bem casted randomly. I Guess
i dont think so, it says casts twice, not cast an extra time, so in theory it wouldn't stack. similar to having multiple branns not giving more than 2 battlecries
$80 coming out the account ASAP! Lol
All aboard! Hype train departing.
In a displaybox (the equalent to the mega-bundle) you get 36 boosters (Minimum of 2 Mythic cards and 34-36 Rare) I sold the cards I didn't need and got about 60% of the money spent back.
Also magic boosters (packs) contains 15 cards (that is 540 cards) compared to hearthstones 5/pack giving 400 in this case.
Hearthstone is expensive, that is something you can't deny. But the problem is, as you say, those people that still buy the overpriced stuff so Blizzard will keep doing this.
use Amazon coins... doesn't matter which region are you, you'll get better deal
They're already recycling ideas?
The true meaning of "cringe" just became crystal clear for me, after watching this video.
Tell me this isn't the coolest card back ever....
Also the patch notes state that "Midsummer's Fire Festival" we'll be returning soon so much more gold for everyone!
In case you guys are wondering who's going to be the first to complain about the expansion, to my knowledge, Jazzfan27 beat you all to it. Congratulations, we have a winner.
People need to learn to embrace the cringe muuuhhortyy
