New CardsĪ total of 135 new cards are being added to Hearthstone with The Boomsday Project. As well as the usual mixture of class-specific and neutral cards (which all classes can make use of), there'll also be a few interesting new card types. In each expansion, all nine Hearthstone heroes receive their very own Legendary minion. In the case of Boomsday, that means one scientist for every character.Įlectra Stormsurge, for example, is the Shaman's Legendary Scientist, and comes with an extra special effect that causes the next spell you cast on the same turn to go off twice - handy for cards that boost minion strength in particular. Boom, Mad Genius and this is the one hero transformation card that's coming with Boomsday. Once transformed, all subsequently played Mech minions gain the Rush mechanic (allowing them to charge into enemy minions, but not the enemy hero), and the Warrior gains a new Hero Power which cycles through five different effects. Omega cards are special cards which perform pretty well when played in the early to mid-game, but become a good deal more powerful once you find yourself with ten Mana Crystals in the bank. At that point, a special new effect is triggered when the card is played. One example is the Warlock's Omega Agent. This 4 / 5 minion costs 5 Mana when played in the mid-game, but if you drop it on the board with you have 10 Mana, you'll actually summon three copies of the minion instead.Īlthough Legendary cards have sort of featured in Hearthstone in the past (in the form of Quests), Boomsday is the first time this rarity of spell has truly made it into the game. Just like the Legendary Scientists, each class gets their own unique Legendary Spell to play around with. The Shaman, for example, receives a spell called The Storm Bringer. Costing 7 Mana to cast, it transforms all friendly minions into randomly chosen Legendary minions instead. It's likely to see a bit of play in the Token Shaman archetype, where you seek to build a very wide board of minor minions which you then want to boost up in strength.Ī new card keyword is also being added. Called Magnetic, it will appear on a number of the new Mech minions. Play a Magnetic Mech to the left of another friendly Mech, and the stats and bonus effects of each one will be automatically melded into one minion. If you just want to play it as a separate entity, pop it to the right of the target instead.
