If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you'll know how eager I've been to dive into Hearthstone. But now, with the release of the "Into the Emerald Dream" update, it looks like I'll have some catching up to do. This exciting update, launching on March 25th, will introduce 145 new cards, shaking up your strategies and combat tactics.
Alongside these new cards, we're getting fresh Keywords to explore: Imbue (for Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman) and Dark Gifts (for Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior). I'm still figuring out how these will impact the game's flow, but they're sure to influence the meta, especially with the expanded Choose One keyword. Every class now gets a Choose One card, offering two different modes to choose from during battle.
Adding to the mix is a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which promises to stir things up even more. It's clear I'll have my hands full when facing off against these innovative decks soon.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until March 25th. If you're looking for something else to play, why not check out our list of the best card games on Android to keep you entertained?
If you're eager to join in on the fun, you can download Hearthstone for free on the App Store and Google Play, though it does include in-app purchases.
