Hearthstone adds Draenei minion type with The Great Dark Beyond expansion

by

As a seasoned Hearthstone veteran with countless hours spent dueling my friends and strangers alike, I must say that the upcoming expansion, The Great Dark Beyond, has me buzzing with excitement! The addition of the Draenei as a permanent minion type is an intriguing twist, and I can’t wait to see how their unique effects will shake up the meta.

Hearthstone is nearing the close of another year in Standard mode, and Blizzard intends to make significant changes to the game. The upcoming expansion transports players into The Great Dark Beyond, offering more than just 145 fresh cards; it also introduces a new type of permanent minion known as the Draenei.

In previous Hearthstone appearances, the Draenei have been represented as minions, but with this expansion, they’ll officially be recognized as a unique minion type, joining established groups like Beasts, Mechs, Pirates, Quilboar, and Naga. What makes the Draenei special is that their effects influence subsequent Draenei cards played, ranging from enhanced stats to Discover abilities. With the introduction of the Draenei as a new permanent tribe, existing minions fitting this description will be reclassified accordingly.

The enigmatic Realm of the Endless Night appears to be deviating slightly from its usual expansion trait. The keyword here is “Starship,” which enables players to construct Starship segments, each with unique effects when combined. Interestingly, only six classes will receive exclusive Starship cards, but neutral Starship components open up the opportunity for all classes to participate. Players who appreciate traditional keywords can anticipate the comeback of “Spellburst” from the Scholomance Academy expansion.

On Tuesday, November 5, keep an eye out for Hearthstone: The Great Dark Beyond to officially launch. This should provide some respite for American players who might prefer to avoid the tension of other events scheduled for that day. If you’re eager to get a sneak peek of the upcoming expansion, simply log in now and grab the new Nexus-Prince Shaffar legendary card. This 3-Cost minion possesses a Spellburst effect, enhancing another minion in your hand with +3/+3 stats and passing on the same effect.
