Hearthstone's "The Great Dark Beyond" expansion has arrived, introducing 145 new collectible cards, Starships, and the Draenei! Ready to explore the cosmos? Read on for the details.

Who are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new minion type in Hearthstone, are cosmic beings – the "Exiled Ones" from Warcraft lore. Having fled their homeworld to escape the Burning Legion, they now journey through "The Great Dark Beyond" seeking a new home. These nomadic minions often have effects that benefit subsequent Draenei cards, creating a powerful synergy. Their unity centers around their leader, Velen.

Starship Mechanics

"The Great Dark Beyond" introduces customizable Starships. Collect Starship Pieces – minions that, upon defeat, enhance your Starship's stats and abilities – and unleash your powerful vessel onto the battlefield! Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) receives a unique Starship design. The Exile's Hope offers a neutral location for all classes.

Returning Mechanics and Rewards

The Spellburst mechanic returns, and a new Rewards Track offers abundant rewards. Download Hearthstone from the Google Play Store to begin your interstellar adventure!
