Hearthstone's biggest-ever Mini-Set, Heroes of StarCraft, launches January 21st, boasting 49 new cards. This expansion bridges the gap between Hearthstone and StarCraft, introducing class and multi-class cards themed around the StarCraft factions: Zerg, Protoss, and Terran.
The Warcraft Direct, held November 13th, 2024, initially teased the crossover. Now, the full details are revealed: each class receives three cards, while each StarCraft faction contributes five, including one Legendary card per faction. A single neutral Legendary, Grunty, completes the set. Card reveals will continue throughout the week leading up to the launch.
Key Features:
- 49 New Cards: The largest Mini-Set in Hearthstone history.
- StarCraft Faction Focus: Zerg cards (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock), Protoss cards (Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue), and Terran cards (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior) featuring unique mechanics.
- January 21st Release Date: Mark your calendars!
Zerg cards emphasize summoning Zerglings and leveraging Hydralisks for swarm-based damage. Protoss cards revolve around mana manipulation and deploying powerful cards like the Carrier. Terran cards utilize the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond, introducing new Starship Pieces and strategies.
Pricing:
The full Mini-Set costs $20 (2500 gold), a $5 increase over previous Mini-Sets. The all-Golden version costs $80 (12,000 gold). Alternatively, individual faction packs (Protoss, Terran, or Zerg) are available for $10 (1200 gold).
