"Hearthstone Embarks on an Enchanting Journey to the Emerald Dream"

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 25,2025

Hearthstone's "Into the Emerald Dream" expansion arrives March 25th, introducing 145 new cards and shaking up gameplay. This update significantly alters combat strategies with the addition of two new keywords: Imbue (available to Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman) and Dark Gifts (for Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior). The impact of these keywords, particularly on the expanded "Choose One" mechanic (now featuring a Choose One card for every class, offering two battle modes), remains to be seen but promises a meta shift.

The arrival of the Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, further complicates the evolving meta. Players will need to adapt to these new additions.

ytPre-purchase bundles are available until the expansion's launch. For those seeking alternative card games, Pocket Gamer's list of the best Android card games is a great resource.

Hearthstone is available for free on the App Store and Google Play (with in-app purchases). Stay updated via the official Twitter page, website, or the embedded video above for a sneak peek at the expansion's atmosphere and visuals.
