Hearthstone: Into the Emerald Dream will start the Year of the Raptor

by

In the game of Hearthstone: Into the Emerald Dream, players explore Ysera’s vibrant domain, a place where all magic related to nature originates. However, this realm is under siege by the Old Gods, who aim to taint it with their twisted visions. The Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman are determined to help Ysera and the other Nature deities. On the other hand, the Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warrior, and Warlock find themselves drawn towards the Old Gods’ influence.

Players who side with the Wild Gods can expect new cards featuring the Imbue keyword. These cards will enhance their Hero Powers as more Imbue cards are played. Meanwhile, those who align with the Old Gods receive cards imbued with Dark Gifts, which have amplified effects compared to standard Hearthstone cards.

Consequently, while the fixed enemy population gives players the sensation of shaping the world, it can also leave them feeling vulnerable as they strive for divine status among the denizens of the Living Lands.

As a brave gamer venturing through the lands of Avowed, I’m tasked with a challenging mission titled “Totem of Defiance.” The objective is to restore the Schemer’s Offerings, but be prepared – this isn’t an easy feat!

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
4. Item 4
5. Item 5
6. Item 6

Once I have all seven items, I can successfully complete the Totem of Defiance mission and reap its rewards!
