"Hearthstone Unveils Emerald Dream in New Expansion"

Author: Peyton May 04,2025

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. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of things, the game's latest update, "Into the Emerald Dream," is set to shake things up with the addition of 145 new cards starting March 25th. This expansion promises to refresh your strategies and combat tactics, keeping the game exciting and unpredictable.

Alongside these new cards, players will encounter fresh Keywords to master: Imbue, applicable to Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman classes, and Dark Gifts, which will affect Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. I'm still wrapping my head around how these keywords will influence the flow of battle, but it's clear they're poised to shift the meta significantly. Moreover, the expansion introduces the Choose One keyword to every class, offering players the chance to select between two different modes during combat, adding a strategic layer to deck building and gameplay.

The update also brings a new Legendary minion to the table: Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which is sure to stir the pot and challenge players to adapt their decks accordingly. It's going to be an exciting challenge to face off against these new decks in the near future.

ytYou can already pre-purchase the new bundles until March 25th. If you're in the mood for something different, why not explore our list of the best card games on Android to keep the fun going?
