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 face a challenge with the release of its latest update. The "Into the Emerald Dream" expansion, launching on March 25th, will introduce 145 new cards that promise to shake up strategies and combat tactics.
Among these additions are new Keywords to master: Imbue, affecting classes like Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman, and Dark Gifts, which will influence Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. As I'm still wrapping my head around how these Keywords will alter the game's flow, it's clear they'll shift the meta, especially with the expanded Choose One keyword. Every class will receive a Choose One card, allowing players to select between two different modes during battle, adding a layer of strategic depth.
Moreover, the update introduces a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which is set to stir the pot further. With all these changes, I'll have my hands full when facing off against these new decks.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until March 25th. If you're interested in exploring other options, why not check out our list of the best card games on Android to satisfy your gaming cravings?
