If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you'll know I've been diving deep into Hearthstone lately. However, the game's latest update, "Into the Emerald Dream," is set to release on March 25th, and it's going to shake things up with the addition of 145 new cards. This expansion will undoubtedly force players to rethink their strategies and combat tactics.
Alongside these new cards, the update introduces fresh Keywords to master: Imbue for Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman, and Dark Gifts for Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. I'm still wrapping my head around how these keywords will impact the flow of battle, but it's clear they'll shift the meta significantly. Moreover, every class will receive a Choose One card, offering two different modes to select during gameplay, adding another layer of strategic depth.
Adding to the excitement is the introduction of a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which promises to stir up the competition further. With these new decks on the horizon, I've got my work cut out for me.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until the launch date on March 25th. If Hearthstone isn't your only card game interest, why not explore our list of the best card games on Android to satisfy your gaming appetite?
