ANNOUNCING
United In Stormwind
HEARTHSTONE’S NEWEST EXPANSION
Welcome, adventurer, to Stormwind! This majestic capital city is a testament to all the Alliance stands for. Filled with bustling trade, shiny equipment, epic mounts, and new Questlines, Stormwind is a great place to rest and prepare for the next step in your journey. And prepare you must, as there is hidden danger lurking deep within the castle’s pristine walls. The city cannot and will not fall! Band together with old allies and new friends. Resolute and unyielding we are… United in Stormwind!
United in Stormwind will launch worldwide on August 3 with 135 new collectible cards! You can find the full schedule for card reveals, and see which cards were announced today, by visiting the card library, here. Check back frequently—the list will be updated with new cards as they’re revealed!
New Keyword: Tradeable
Shopkeepers, bakers, and merchants come to Stormwind to peddle their wares while adventurers come to trade away their extra loot. Cards with the new Tradeable keyword can be played like normal, or for the low cost of 1 Mana, swapped with a different card in your deck!
Questlines
An adventure is only as good as the quests you take along the way. All 10 classes will have access to a Questline that highlights the journey of their class’s Mercenary through Stormwind. Questlines are Legendary spells that start in your hand and have three tiers of progression. Get a reward after you complete each step of the Questline, culminating in a powerful Legendary mercenary minion!
Mounts and Profession Tools
You’ve grown a lot in the Barrens, and it’s time to level up! Pick up a mount to aid you in battle—and even keep fighting after you’re gone! Or maybe you can learn a new skill while you’re in town. Profession tools are weapons that have special effects instead of attack values. Gather the crafting reagents to get an awesome effect!
Phase 2 Roadmap Update
United in Stormwind will kick off Phase 2 of the year of the Gryphon. Phase 2 will include major changes to Battlegrounds, including the launch of Battlegrounds cosmetics, a minion type refresh, and regular content updates. We will also continue to bring regular updates to Duels, Tavern Brawls, and Solo Experiences. Finally, Mercenaries will launch during Phase 2 of the Year of the Gyphon! Take a look at the new Roadmap:

you guys are being sarcastic, right?
She looks pretty to me
She looks like a normal NPC that you could find anywhere. She is boring and not creative at all. Same goes for the cardback.
you know that's Onyxia, right?
That does not change the artwork. If she would have some scales or a shadow of a dragon in the background fine. But the artwork is just bland. It does not change because she is Onyxia.
I think it looks nice. Plain but rare, cool portrait for sure
Don't attempt to sweet talk the fact you guys are out of Dust and desperate for them Golden legendaries LOL.
No need to buy the Expansion for me however, I'll craft whatever is OP in Gold, and gladly skip this bland Mage skin.
I do agree that they could have gone for a better image for her, though her appeal is mostly the importance of her character per se.
Who doesn't love Onyxia?
No, the guys who are still killing her every week for the mount doesn't count, so you can just leaveFinally, trading cards in a Trading Card Game!
It's never been called that. It's a collectible card game.
Wait, I thought they said there would be some Mercenaries info?
no, that's the exact opposite of what they said. They wrote that they won't talk about it today and instead to a dedicated stream in fall.
Tradeable keyword is a trully a masterpiece! I really hope this keyword will not be only for this expansion.
100% agree here, slapping it on future cards is a possibility and it doesn't really effect the outcome much but gives the card more versatility and less dead weight.
Rustrot Viper is going to be the end of Poison Rogue, which is fine with me.
So Tradeable is like Discover?
Or is it random exchange for cards in deck?
You shuffle it into your deck and draw a card I believe but I could be wrong.
I just watched the video - its a random exchange: you drag the card to your deck to essentially shuffle it back into your deck to draw a new card, but this costs 1 mana to do so.
Cheers.
I've just read all the patch notes and extra things coming with Phase 2 and I have to say I'm really excited about all of this. I will definitely be purchasing and completing all of these.
It's not a paladin themed expansion at all. Where did you get that idea? Is it because of the SW Guards? They are warriors, not paladins.
I hope your joking LOL... Lionheart, those are recruits not warriors.
