If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you'll know I've been diving deep into Hearthstone recently. However, I'm about to fall behind with the launch of the latest update, "Into the Emerald Dream." This exciting expansion, set to release on March 25th, introduces 145 new cards that promise to shake up your strategies and combat tactics.
Alongside these new cards, players will need to familiarize themselves with fresh Keywords: Imbue, applicable to Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman, 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 alter the flow of battles, but it's clear they'll have a significant impact on the meta, especially with the expanded use of the Choose One keyword. Now, every class gets a Choose One card, offering two modes to select from during gameplay.
Additionally, a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, is set to stir the pot, making my upcoming matches against these new decks a challenging yet thrilling prospect.
You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until the launch date on March 25th. If you're looking for other options, why not check out our list of the best card games on Android to keep your gaming appetite satisfied?
