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.

Another hero behind a paywall. Great.
.. He said as though half of the cosmetic heroes weren't already an extra cost.
it's just cosmetics what is the problem one of them being behind a paywall?
the link (http://www.theboomsdayproject.com ) is still dead?
Anyone else having a problem with the boomsday.com link? I keep getting site cannot be reached?
This is a leak so the site isn't live yet. Once the expansion is officially revealed (later today?) the site should go live.
Leaked Announcement
My guess is there's an absolutely broken interaction with a Magnetic card in the set and a 12 Attack Omega Defender, maybe a priest Magnetic card with Battlecry: Double this minion's Attack and Health or something like that.
I hope the RNG labs weren't as busy as RnD ones.
Fck this shit, I wanted the Tempest Keep with Kael'thas :((((
Say goodbye to all of that as blizzard turns this game into a literal kids card game.
IMPORTANT QUESION: IS MECHA JARAXXUS BUNDLE ONLY? OR CAN HE BE GAINED FROM PACKS?
Its most likely a cosmetic hero so i dont think you can get it in packs
He's a Hero Portrait, not a card. They could always offer an alternate way to get him, but it wouldn't make any sense for him to be gained from packs.
OMEGA STAYS FOR O-M-G!!!
Oh, and I guess Rogue's project will be "Mill Project- each player draws 3 cards". I hope no but it's very probable
Pretty good video, I think Cusak was trying to a bit too hard to be Ben Brode, but the whole team seemed to have fun. I’m not going to evaluate those cards (legendary spells tho) but what I will says is why isn’t Omega Defender not a mech?
I thought they were gonna reveal it on Thursday?!! Mistake? Leak? wtf!
Accidental leak. Someone at Blizzard posted the video to YouTube and it got out. It's been 'unlisted' now, but it's still there.
i think that will be a trailer about this expansion on thursday
Can this get anymore cringy ?
