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.

Can we take a second and appreciate the random legendary this time is golden so when someone gets a crappy legendary with their pre order, it can now be any legendary they want from this set? I hope this will stop the whining from the community for the freebie legendary.
Actually, you get it next to the normal free legendary everyone gets!
Yes, but that’s only if you pre-order the more expensive bundle...
No both options have the golden legendary attached to it.
You are correct! I don't think I read his comment correctly the first time around..
Yeah. Huge thanks to the HearthPwn team for getting this together on literally no notice because of the leak.
Looks fun. It s better without Ben. Cards looks interesting, fun, but not overpower.
And still he responsibles for overpower koboilds, taunt druid, paladins, cubedecks, pirates, etc. He wait 1 y to nerf patches, few monthst o nerf paladins, cubelock and much longer with naga. I was playing hs from start and year after year game became worse- unbalanced, not diverce, class or decks dominant. Last balanced expansion was Old Gods- it s more than 2 years. Since we have new ppl, we have balanced patch after 4 months not 12 and last event like Toki, was great, we need more thigs like this.. This game needs more fresh and ppl who create fun and various cards not overpover and take good care about balance. Ben wanted fun game, but he don t care about balance, and joillity for your oponents. He bring hs to unbalaced state, that hs became boring, couse all time we must play only against this same 4-5 decks.
Welcome back old friend (Dr. Boom).
I FREAKING LOVE IT
btw, wasn't that Wronchi's type of animation in the end?
it is
Dr. 7! Legends never die
Can't wait to see Dr.Boom, Mad Genius Battlecry and Hero Power!
$40 = 50 packs
$70 = 80 but I think it might be 60 or 65 otherwise its just the same thing 1 pack = 1 dollar normally it is cheaper with the pre-orders and since it is a mega bundle, they might reduce the cost by 5 or so dollars to make the purchase tempting
Not gonna lie, that's why I loved every second of it. Except, replace 'unfunny' with 'terribly silly'!
Is this even still heartstone anymore? What the hell is this?
It just doesn't feel the same without Brode.
Wow what a classic Bill Nye vibe. Down to the cheese surprise appearances and the bubbles in the backing track
Agree 100% Loved the Bill Nye, Science Mystery Theater 3000 vibes
The cringe is strong with this one!!
