Hearthstone Drops The Great Dark Beyond Bringing Back the Burning Legion

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

Who are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new permanent minion type in Hearthstone, are cosmic beings, also known as the "Exiled Ones" from Warcraft lore. Having fled their home planet to escape the Burning Legion, they now journey through "The Great Dark Beyond" seeking a new home. Their Hearthstone iteration embodies a hopeful, nomadic spirit, with effects often benefiting subsequent Draenei played. They unite under their leader, Velen, creating a sense of cosmic family.

Starships and Starship Pieces:

"The Great Dark Beyond" centers around customizable Starships. You collect Starship Pieces—minions that, when defeated, enhance your Starship with their stats and effects, transforming it into a powerful board presence. Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) boasts unique Starship designs. "The Exile's Hope" serves as a neutral location for all classes.
