Hearthstone‘s subsequent enlargement, Voyage to the Sunken Town, is approaching April 12 in NA and April 13 in ANZ, and has a vibrant nautical theme based totally across the historic town of Zin-Azshari, which (consistent with International of Warcraft lore) used to be despatched to the ground of the sea within the cataclysm. (More details in our annoucement article from yesterday.) Around the set’s 135 playing cards you’ll be able to to find vengeful Naga, sunken treasure, pirates, sea monsters and extra. These days, we are going to exhibit two of the ones components, with Nellie, the Nice Thresher, a brand spanking new mythical for Warrior.
Blistering barnacles!
As you’ll be able to see, Nellie is among the new Colossal creatures, because of this that it is too giant to suit on one card. It is a Colossal +1, so summons one further appendage when it hits the board – on this case, Nellie’s Pirate Send. A 5/5 and a 2/6 taunt for seven mana is not anything to smell at, however what makes Nellie so tough is its battlecry, which provides you with 3 separate Discovers (make a selection one card out of 3) of pirate minions, that are then added as a deathrattle praise to Nellie’s Pirate Send. When Nellie’s Pirate Send is destroyed, they are then added in your hand, and price one mana each and every. So in case you are ready to discover a Mr Smite or two, Nellie’s Pirate Send can constitute slightly numerous very reasonable injury from hand.
We do not in reality know what the Same old Hearthstone panorama will likely be like after rotation (which occurs when Voyage to the Sunken Town is launched, and sees Ashes of Outland, Scholomance Academy and Insanity on the Darkmoon Faire depart the structure), in particular since we do not but know what the brand new core set will include (that is the foundational card pool and is loose to make use of for all avid gamers), however it is transparent that this card has a tonne of attainable to look play, and the opposite Colossal playing cards which were printed to this point glance extraordinarily promising too.
Somewhere else within the set, there is any other new mechanic – Dredge – which we could avid gamers take a look at the ground 3 playing cards in their deck, and make a selection one to deliver to the highest, and a brand spanking new minion sort – Naga. Positive, there are a variety of Naga playing cards already in Hearthstone, however they are now a tribe like mechs or beasts, with their very own spell-focused synergies. You’ll see all of the playing cards that had been printed with the set’s preliminary announcement within the slideshow beneath, and as extra are printed, you should definitely take a look at Hearthstone’s official card collection page to look all of the newest.
