If you're a devoted follower of Hearthstone, Blizzard's hit World of Warcraft-themed card battler, get ready for some exciting updates! Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature is set to go live on April 29th, and the new mini set, Embers of the World Tree, will be available starting May 13th. Both releases promise to bring new minions, card types, and other thrilling additions to spice up your matches.
The theme for Embers of the World Tree revolves around the Druids of the Flame launching an assault on this ancient monument. Both the Druids and the opposing Dream Defenders will have access to new Imbue and Dark Gifts mechanics, with the Druids harnessing Fire Magic to incinerate your opponents!
The highlight of the mini set is the introduction of Smouldering Cards. These innovative cards gain strength the longer they remain in your hand, but be cautious—hold onto them too long, and they'll burn out and vanish. Strategic planning will be key to maximizing their potential on each turn.
Enter the Battleground
Beyond the mini set, Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature brings its own set of exciting features. Trinkets are making a comeback, offering passive power-ups at Turn 6 for lesser trinkets and Turn 9 for greater ones. You'll also have the chance to tap into the power of the wilds with two new heroes, Cenarius and Buttons.
The minion pool will see a significant expansion with over 75 new and returning characters and Tavern spells. Additionally, the Season 10 Battlegrounds Track will offer a variety of new themed cosmetics for those looking to complete their collections!
