14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Blizzard Entertainment has just revealed the final cards in the upcoming Blackrock Mountain expansion for Hearthstone, and now we can safely start theorycrafting about which cards will end up in what decks.
Blizzard's foray into the realm of collectible card games has been a very successful one, managing to blend some of the best elements of strategic card games with a streamlined and accessible overall design, earning Hearthstone a pretty big fan base.
Now, the studio is getting ready to release the second single-player adventure, following the release of the first straight-up expansion in December, Gnomes vs Goblins, and the launch of The Curse of Naxxramas: A Hearthstone Adventure, back in July 2014.
We finally know all the cards that are coming in the magma-filled and dragon-laden adventure. The developer made the reveals through a livestream yesterday, but you can also watch it on Twitch in case you missed it and would like to see all the exciting new cards in action.
There is even a card that transforms you into Ragnaros
The upcoming single-player adventure will focus on the popular Blackrock Mountain zone from World of Warcraft, Blizzard's massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and will bring a ton of familiar characters into the spotlight.
Players will be able to access the adventure starting April 2 in North America and April 3 in Europe, with five different wings to go through and a ton of deadly bosses to defeat.
After successfully completing all its challenges, you'll be able to add 31 new cards to your deckbuilding pool, 18 class-specific, one common and one rare for each class, and 17 neutrals that can fit into any deck.
You can see all of them in the gallery below, and there are definitely a couple of ones that have the potential to show up in many top-tier decks.
In any case, it's going to be very interesting to see how the infusion of new cards warps the current meta game, and whether some new, previously underpowered archetypes will manage to secure the top spots of competitive play.
