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.

Will they give us the option this time to disenchant the gold legendary we get by pre-ordering?
they always do?
Nope. You can't disenchant Golden Marin from K&C. another pre-order bonus
Mecha Jaraxxus and his Infinity Gauntlet :O
So here's the deal. You are Miracle rogue and drawing like crazy.
Next, you don't have cards in your deck anymore and BOOM, you can play Togwagle+preparation+unstable element. And you're kind of win. Lol
Assuming you have more stuff on board than your opponent.
FML this is genius unfortunately I dusted Togwagle.. TnT
I hope Omega cards will be banned from arena it's too strong mechanic for this game mode.
It seems a interesting expansion. But I hated the video. It looked like a Fallout copy. The black and white scenes were too much a Fallout copy.
Mecha Jaraxxus
Really? Why not "My little pony Deathwing?" or "Teenage mutant ninja Stonehill Defender"? We want more stupid crossovers in hearthstone!
Now i understand why Ben Brode leaves hearthstone
This, but unironically.
I don't know how to feel about MEGA bundle.
I hope where will be other way to get the hero later.
I hope there is not. It will devalue the product.
However, I do agree they should release other Character promos to balance out not having to always buy them.
E.G. - I do not have the resources, or time to get a Nimzy portrait, but I do have extra cash. So I will have Mecha-Jaraxxus and NOT Nimzy.
Welcome to life.
i feel like mecha jaraxus will be released on launch day, and the bundle only makes him avaiable right away
It's warrior red, yeah. RG colour blindness is a pain sometimes.
How? Card games have always been about the collecting. If you are casual you aren't going to collect as much. If you play an hour or two a day throughout the life of an expansion, you can get a shit ton of cards. Ive never had an issue getting the cards for the decks I want to play.
Hearthstone itself is a huge gold sink. Thats what the game is. Literally everything you do is earning gold. This is like saying "Man patch x.1 was a breather. Instead of getting another one, blizzard is putting in another raid !". It literally makes no sense.
I agree here. The last expansion small enough to consistently get a good opening % for me personally at least (to include golds) was DK packs. All the newest ones just feel like there are so many cards I can’t get close to getting half the legendaries or even one I want really. I remember the times of Cthun were I literally had almost every card and only bought a few packs here and there. The rewards did get a little better since then, but there are just so many packs. They just need to bring back the adventures. That is the difference is being able to actually work to get every card for way cheaper price. I think only the hardcore grinders and spenders have close to every card. To be quite honest I’m still trying to catch up from K&C.
A1: you do overload twice. they release a video on facebook showing Electra + Vulcano and it showed the double overload
A2: I pretty sure it's a buff so no res from N'Zoth
what I'm curious about is targeted spells, does the second cast hit the same target or a random one?
Spider bomb is a minion, so it doesn't interact with any spell related secret. It probably won't interact with explosive runes since your "attaching" it. It will be resummoned by N'zoth since it is it's own minion.
