New Keyword: Magnetic

Magnetic is an ability exclusive to certain Mech minions which allows multiple minions to be merged together. Playing a Magnetic minion to the left of an existing Mech will automatically cause the two minions' stats and card text to be combined into a single minion.

There are currently 11 Magnetic minions in the game. You can see Magnetic minions in our database or see a sampling down below.

Wild Set Rotations

There are no set rotations happening with the release of this expansion. They only happen at the start of a new year.
You can learn more about set rotations in our dedicated guide.

A New Playable Hero Arrives - Dr. Boom, Mad Genius!

Like Shamans in Witchwood, Warriors are getting a new playable hero card that is much like the Death Knights of Knights of the Frozen Throne.

• Dr. Boom, Mad Genius's Hero Power is randomized every turn. It randomizes on your opponent's turn so they can react to it.
• You will never see the same Hero Power in a row.
• Dr. Boom is not available in the Arena, like other playable hero cards.

Here is Dr. Boom alongside his five different hero powers.

It should be noted that Blizzard has stated they do not intend to always have a new playable hero card in expansions, only when it makes sense.
