Hearthstone's Emerald Dream Expansion Unveiled

If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you're probably aware of my recent deep dive into Hearthstone. However, I'll need to step up my game with the upcoming "Into the Emerald Dream" expansion, set to launch on March 25th. This update is set to shake things up by introducing a whopping 145 new cards, which will undoubtedly transform strategies and combat tactics.

Alongside the new cards, players will need to get familiar with new Keywords: Imbue, which will be utilized by Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman, and Dark Gifts, which will enhance the gameplay for Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. I'm still wrapping my head around how these Keywords will influence the battlefield, but they're sure to shift the meta, especially with the expanded use of the Choose One keyword. Now, every class will have a Choose One card, allowing you to select between two different modes during battle, adding a fresh layer of decision-making to your gameplay.

Adding to the excitement is the introduction of a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which promises to stir the pot even further. It looks like I'll have my work cut out for me when facing off against these new deck compositions.

In anticipation of the expansion, you can already pre-purchase the new bundles until the launch date. But if you're looking for something different, why not check out our list of the best card games on Android to keep your gaming appetite satisfied?
