Embers of the World Tree is an upcoming mini-set for Hearthstone, set to launch on May 13, featuring 38 new cards. This mini-set draws its inspiration from the Warcraft Raid Amirdrassil, with 16 cards already revealed for various classes.
This release marks Blizzard’s 14th mini-set, adding new cards to the current expansion, Into the Emerald Dream. Released on March 25, Into the Emerald Dream is the 29th expansion for Hearthstone, introducing a total of 145 new cards for players to enjoy.
This expansion delves into the lore of World of Warcraft, specifically highlighting the conflict between the Druids and the Old Gods, which is pivotal for the fate of the World Tree. It also introduced two new keywords: Dark Gift, which provides buffs for minions through Discovery effects, and Imbue, which alters a hero’s power.
With the upcoming mini-set, Blizzard aims to further enrich the game with exciting new mechanics. The Embers of the World Tree mini-set will include a range of card rarities: 4 legendary, 2 epic, 16 rare, and 16 common cards.
Players can acquire the standard version of the set for $14.99 or 2,000 Gold, while the complete edition featuring all gold cards will be available for $69.99 or 10,000 Gold. Notably, those opting for the premium package will receive a Diamond version of the Legendary minion, Fyrakk’s Blazing.
By continuing the narrative from Into the Emerald Dream, the Embers of the World Tree mini-set focuses on the persistent assault on the World Tree by the Druids of the Flame. Among the known cards, players will find contributions from various classes, including Rogue, Mage, Hunter, and Druid, alongside Neutral cards like Living Flame and Petal Picker.
As part of the Year of the Raptor, players can anticipate two additional expansions: The Shrouded City and The Heroes of Time, with corresponding mini-sets forthcoming later this year.
