Hearthstone Reveals StarCraft Mini-Set Details and Release Date

Hearthstone's massive Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, boasting a record-breaking 49 new cards, launches January 21st. This expansion, revealed at the November 13th, 2024 Warcraft Direct, bridges the gap between Hearthstone and StarCraft, introducing class and multi-class cards themed around the StarCraft factions: Zerg, Protoss, and Terran.

The Mini-Set includes three cards for each Hearthstone class. Zerg cards (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock) emphasize summoning Zerglings and leveraging Hydralisks for swarm-based damage. Protoss cards (Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue) focus on manipulating mana to deploy powerful units like the Carrier. Terran cards (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior) utilize the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond, introducing new Starship Pieces and strategies. A single neutral Legendary card, Grunty, rounds out the collection. Card reveals will continue throughout the week leading up to the launch.

Purchasing the complete Mini-Set costs $20 (or 2500 gold), a $5 increase over previous Mini-Sets. A golden version is available for $80 (or 12,000 gold). Alternatively, players can purchase individual faction packs (Protoss, Terran, or Zerg) for $10 (or 1200 gold) each.

To celebrate, Hearthstone is hosting two streamed events:

• StarCast (January 23rd, 10 AM PST): Featuring StarCraft legends TrumpSC and Day9.
• HearthCraft (January 24th, 9 AM PST): Showcasing Hearthstone community creators representing each faction.

Viewers of these Twitch streams will receive two standard and two golden The Great Dark Beyond packs. Don't miss out on this opportunity to score free cards!
