Hearthstone Unveils Emerald Dream Expansion, Introduces Meta-Shifting Keywords

The new Hearthstone expansion, Into the Emerald Dream, is finally here, bringing with it a whopping 145 new cards to shake up the game and keep the excitement going. If you're looking to dive into this vibrant new world, you'll want to know about the fresh mechanics that are set to change the way you play.

First off, let's talk about the new Imbue Keyword. As a Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, or Shaman, you can harness the power of the World Tree by playing an Imbue card. This grants you a unique Hero Power specific to your class. And the fun doesn't stop there—every subsequent Imbue card you play will upgrade this power, giving you the edge you need to dominate the battlefield.

Next up, the Dark Gifts Keyword is here to mix things up even further. If you're playing as a Warrior, Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Warlock, or Rogue, these minion power-ups come with tailored Discover options, allowing you to fine-tune your strategy and boost your minions exactly how you want them.

And don't forget about the Expanded Keyword: Choose One. This feature lets you select between two different modes for your Choose One cards, adding a layer of strategic depth to your gameplay. With all these new additions, it's clear that you'll need to update your decks quickly to stay competitive.
