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.

If it attaches then its a spell, if it is played then its a minion.
Wild players are probably throwing a party right now lol.
Also isn't it great that we get more mechs again in standard?!
Damn, is it 12.5.18 already? I feel like I may have missed a couple days
Well, i'm from Brasil so, normal pre-order it is hauhauhauha
For those of you who who wanted a recap, here you go! I really hope you enjoy :D
Advice: If there's literally a recap right above your post you might not wanna advertise it here.
this "recap" is longer than the actual announcement video
why is this being downvoted? he is just trying to make himself known, poor guy
cool. Take my money again.
For further comparison purposes: a decent Nike shoe is about 500 BRL, one McDonalds Happy Meal is 20 BRL, one iPhone 8 is about 3500 BRL.
Also, the brazillian current anual minimum wage is 12400 BRL (almost 3250 USD).
So....i guess it isn't incorrect to say that 190 BRL for a pack bundle is high priced. 190BRL is a fifth part of the minimum wage (which is rewarded monthly in Brazil).
I guess it's easier for us to make decent bank here. Oh, and pay whopping taxes!
says the person that has 16/37/166... go go cry in a corner fanboi.
Imagine Mimiron's Head with some new cool magnetic mech. But only for funny videos on YouTube
Wtf... I guess no one saw that coming
Wrong, there are 8!
Scorp o Matic, Alarm o bot, demolisher, harvest golem, Meat wagon, unpowered steambot, clockwork automaton
AND THE ALL MIGHTY 3 MANA 3/4!! NIGHTMARE AMALGAM!
Thanks. I forgot about the Nightmare Amalgam.
In Aus, it's $67 for the regular, and $110 for the mega. 30 extra boosters for $33 is better than normal, but not sure if it's worth it for me (I don't care for cosmetics).
That said, knowing me, I'll have some silly epiphany and buy both bundles for the 2 golden legendary cards. Maybe. $177 and have either two nice golden legends, or enough dust to craft 2 nice non-goldens legends. Please, someone tell me it's a bad idea.
I wish I could I'm probably going to drop the $130 for both, I wish I could say no.
It's a bad idea. I just logged in and noticed the prices. I hate Australia. But I'm still going to buy the Mega Bundle. I can't bring myself to fork out nearly $200 for this.
...Yet
It's a rly rly bad idea!
