If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you're probably aware of my recent dive into Hearthstone—and now, I'm set to explore even more with the game's latest update. The "Into the Emerald Dream" expansion, launching on March 25th, introduces 145 new cards that are sure to shake up your strategies and combat tactics.
Among these new additions are exciting new Keywords to learn: Imbue, which affects Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman decks, and Dark Gifts, which impacts Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior strategies. I'm still wrapping my head around how these keywords will influence the battle dynamics, but it's clear they'll have a significant impact on the meta, especially with the expanded Choose One keyword. Every class will receive a Choose One card, offering two different modes to select during battle, adding a layer of decision-making to your gameplay.
Adding to the excitement is the new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which promises to stir the pot even further. It looks like I'll have my hands full mastering these new decks and tactics.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until the expansion's release on March 25th. If you're looking for other card game options, don't forget to check out our list of the best card games on Android for more gaming fun.
