Shadowlands Expands: Hearthstone Unveils Burning Legion

Hearthstone's The Great Dark Beyond expansion has arrived, introducing 145 new collectible cards, Starships, and the Draenei! Ready to explore the cosmos? Let's dive in.

Who are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new minion type in Hearthstone, are cosmic beings—the "Exiled Ones" from Warcraft lore. Having escaped the Burning Legion, they now journey through The Great Dark Beyond seeking a new home. Their Hearthstone iteration reflects a hopeful, nomadic spirit, often with effects that synergize with subsequent Draenei cards, creating a strong tribal synergy around their leader, Velen.

Starships Take Flight!

The core theme of The Great Dark Beyond centers around customizable Starships. Gather Starship Pieces throughout the expansion, playing them as regular minions. Upon their destruction, their stats and effects are absorbed into your Starship, transforming it into a powerful unit for deployment. Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) boasts a unique Starship design. For a more inclusive experience, visit The Exile's Hope.
