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.

Like all heroes, I guess it's just a skin with different emotes.
It's just a skin. A new Hero power would mean a new class.
Like Lord Jaraxxus and all Death Knights are new classes?
It's just a SKIN. Not a Lord jaraxxus one
Think it's deliberate that the Omega Project can be shorted to OP? So these are OP cards...
An announcement trailer without Ben Brode.... feels bad. :(
Sacrificial Pact buff kappa
Does it work on Mecha Jaraxxus?
It obviosly wouldnt.
Will you get two Mecha-Jaraxxus card backs for 2 bundles? :)
Good luck finding good Mech’s since goblins & gnomes are wild cards
You do realize they could be adding a lot of good mechs in this set, right?! We've seen 6 of 135 cards...
EDIT: And don't forget about Meat Wagon LOL!!!
What is the 6th card? I have only seen the 5 from this post
Dr. Boom, warrior death knight was teased.
I like to milk it milk it, I like to milk it milk it, Blizzard likes to ... MILK IT !
This is getting insane and I don’t think people realise just how much money this could cost them. Heck a WoW subscription costs half of getting 1 mega bundle per expansion (AND THATS NOT EVEN THAT MANY CARDS).
I don’t intend for this to sound like a rage-quit, it’s more a disappointed-make-a-speech-and-leave-the-room.
Now to go and find something to spend my extra money on. Peace out.
it's 1:1 (pack/euro)... it's much better than regular rate... plus you get free leg (1600 dust)... it's the same as with any previous pre-order... O.o ...plus free hero skin...
I see a lot of people saying you get 1600 dust, which is similair to previous expansions, but that holds only true if you actually dust the card. It is most likely that you will keep anything you get.
For that matter, I would have rather had 20 packs than 1 golden legendary, as the 20 packs will give me 1 legendary + plenty of other cards. Sure it is probably not golden, but I don't care about that too much honestly.
Anyway, Blizzard can ask what they want, it's their business.
Thats impossible, you get at least 2.
I never said guaranteed. On average it is 1 per 20 packs, so I would still prefer the 20 packs.
