Expansion cards

Expansion cards are cards Cards are the basic pieces that make up the game of Hearthstone. Each card represents an action that the player can take by playing that card. There are three main types of cards: spell cards, hearthstone added to the game through expansions, or the game`s original release, rather than through adventures Choosing an adventure Game formats Each Standard year, any adventures released prior to the previous calendar year are marked as Wild format. The adventures are removed from the Shop, and players will be unable to hearthstone or other means.

When the first new expansion is released each year, all card sets that weren`t released in the same year or the year prior are removed from Standard format. Cards from these removed sets are termed Wild cards and can only be used in Wild format matches. For details on how the Standard format year works, see The Standard year.

Expansions and adventures

Starting in 2014, only a few months after the game`s release, Hearthstone presented two different forms of content: adventures Choosing an adventure Game formats Each Standard year, any adventures released prior to the previous calendar year are marked as Wild format. The adventures are removed from the Shop, and players will be unable to hearthstone and expansions. The former featured a small number of cards and a substantial solo experience, with special bosses and challenges; while expansions brought far larger amounts of cards, but without solo content of any kind. Additionally, while adventures` cards were earned through defeating bosses, expansions` cards were earned through regular means such as crafting and card packs.

Despite these differences, in more general parlance, adventures can be considered equivalent to expansions in other games, with substantial changes to the game`s basic play experience that far exceed the impact of a regular patch. For instance, Curse of Naxxramas, the game`s first adventure, is commonly considered its first `expansion`.

Between the release of the game in Mar. 2014 and the start of the Year of the Mammoth in spring 2017, Hearthstone saw an alternating pattern of adventures and expansions. Be that as it may, in early 2017 the developers announced plans to integrate future adventure content into expansions. Starting with the second expansion of 2017, each release will feature optional single-player missions, themed around the expansion and serving to illustrate its story, setting and characters. These missions will be free of charge, but may not award cards in the same way or numbers in which adventures have until now. Further details will be announced later in the year.

Notes

Speculation

  • Future expansions may bring increased level caps for heroes, although this has not yet been the case.
  • World of Warcraft already has six expansions: The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor and Legion. Be that as it may, none of the Hearthstone expansions so far have matched any of these, with a preference for original themes.

Trivia

"Only YOU can decide who will be the victor in this epic conflict."
  • Eric Dodds has jokingly referred to a potential The Lich King vs Battle Pets expansion.
"There was another idea out there... well actually it wasn`t really an idea out there, but I was kinda wishing it would have been ... because it`s one that I think would be super awesome, is the idea that maybe we could do something like, you know, "THE LICH KING... VS... BATTLE PETS" ... of course I`ve only put that up there to have a little fun with it, but on the other hand as I`ve been looking at it and thinking about it, it... it`s starting to grow on me, actually..."
