Hearthstone's Journey to Un'Goro expansion gets release date

Hearthstone lead designer Ben Brode and analyst Dan “Frodan” Chou revealed the last of the Journey to Un’Goro expansion cards on stream Friday alongside the expansion’s release date: April 6.

Journey to Un’Goro introduces a prehistoric theme to Hearthstone, with many of the minions and spells featuring dinosaurs, dino themes, and a new ‘Adapt’ keyword. Friday’s livestream revealed more of these cards, as well as the remainder of the class Quests that will make their debut with this expansion.

The Mage’s Quest is called Open the Waygate and tasks players with casting six spells that do not start off in their deck. This means using spells from cards like Babbling Book and Cabalist’s Tome. The reward is Time Warp, a 5-mana spell that grants players an extra turn.

The Druid’s Quest, Jungle Giants, requires players to play five minions with 5 or more attack value. This grants Barnabus the Stomper, a 5-mana 8/8 Beast minion that will reduce the cost of all minions inside the player’s deck to zero. Look for this to potentially find a home in decks that utilize Malygos and Kun the Forgotten King.

The Warrior’s Quest is Fire Plume’s Heart and requires players to summon seven Taunt minions. The reward is a 3-mana 4/2 weapon called Sulfuras. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is Ragnaros the Firelord’s signature weapon. While the Firelord is heading off into the Hall of Fame, his powers will stick around, as Sulfuras will change the Warrior’s Hero Power to deal 8 damage to a random enemy.
