Hearthstone: Ashes of Outland release
Blizzard has kicked off The Year of the Phoenix in Hearthstone with a new expansion called Ashes of Outland. While Hearthstone has been receiving expansions regularly, this one is somewhat special as it will introduce a new class: Demon Hunter. Since the original release 6 years ago Hearthstone has always had 9 classes. This will surely shake up the game. The expansion will add 135 new cards to the game and as usual new mechanics are added as well. Primes are a new sort of legendaries, they have 2 forms, an early to mid-game form which once killed will shuffle his big end-game form into your deck. Imprisoned Demons will also make their entrance, they enter the game dormant and will wake up after 2 turns with a devastating effect. Logging into the game before June 29, 2020, will grant you the Legendary minion Kael’Thas for free. Players returning to the game after a long time will get a free competitive deck and all players will have access to several quests to gain several packs to help you get started on building a deck. Besides various improvements everywhere, the Priest class is getting a big overhaul to reinforce its identity. But the biggest improvement might be in the opening of packs, you should no longer be receiving more than 2 copies of the same card, this should help a lot in gathering all the cards. You can find our preview of the original game right here.
