Hearthstone's upcoming card year, The Year of the Raven, kicks off with the release of the next expansion. 2018 brings some serious changes to the game, with in-game tournaments, some big cards rotating into the Hall of Fame to shake up the meta, and a cool new Druid hero that anyone can get fairly easily.
- The Year of the Raven features three new expansions, each with single player activities/content
- Players can earn the druid hero Lunara by winning 10 games in standard play. That's pretty much a free new character for anyone who plays Hearthstone even at the most casual level.
- Players are going to be able to create their own in-game tournaments this year. Casual with friends or competitive, this new mode will continue to be developed after a beta rollout.
- Ice Block, Coldlight Oracle, and Molten Giant are headed to the Hall of Fame to join greats like Sylvanas and Ragnaros. Playing against Mages is going to be substantially different after they lose their neverending strings of Ice Blocks!
- Whispers of the Old Gods, One Night in Karazhan, and Mean Streets of Gadgetzan are rotating out, making Standard a completely new environment. No more Jade Golems!
Our Take
I can't wait to see what the new expansion brings in terms of new metagame possibilities, and I'm beyond glad that Jade Druid is going to be a thing of the past. I'm partial to C'thun decks so it's sad to see my big guy rotate out, but I'm sure more exciting fare is on the way. I'm glad we're getting a new Druid hero, and that it's very easy to obtain. Hopefully we get more details on the first expansion that kicks off the Year of the Raven soon!
