If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you'll know how much I've been diving into Hearthstone lately. However, I'm about to fall behind with the game's latest update. The "Into the Emerald Dream" expansion, launching on March 25th, is set to shake things up with the addition of 145 new cards. These cards will undoubtedly alter your strategies and combat tactics, offering fresh challenges and opportunities.
Alongside these new cards, players will need to familiarize themselves with new Keywords: Imbue, which affects Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman, and Dark Gifts, impacting Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. I'm still wrapping my head around how these keywords will influence the flow of battle, but it's clear they'll shift the meta, especially with the expanded Choose One keyword. Every class will receive a Choose One card, allowing you to select between two modes during combat, adding a layer of strategic depth.
Adding to the excitement, a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, will stir the pot, making deck-building and gameplay even more intriguing. I'll have my work cut out for me when facing these new decks.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until March 25th. If you're looking for other card game options, check out our list of the best card games on Android to keep the fun going.
