Hearthstone Reveals StarCraft Mini-Set Details and Release Date

Hearthstone's upcoming Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, launching January 21st, boasts a record-breaking 49 new cards. This expansion, the largest Mini-Set to date, introduces class and multi-class cards themed around StarCraft factions – Zerg (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock), Protoss (Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue), and Terran (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior). The set also includes a single neutral Legendary card.

Initially teased during the November 13th, 2024 Warcraft Direct, the Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set bridges the gap between Hearthstone and Blizzard's StarCraft universe. The full set will cost $20 or 2500 gold, representing a slight increase over previous Mini-Sets. Alternatively, players can purchase individual faction packs (Protoss, Terran, or Zerg) for $10 or 1200 gold. An all-Golden version is available for $80 or 12,000 gold.

The card designs reflect the StarCraft factions' unique mechanics. Zerg cards emphasize summoning and swarm tactics, Protoss cards focus on mana manipulation and powerful late-game plays, and Terran cards utilize the Starship mechanic from Hearthstone's The Great Dark Beyond expansion.

To celebrate the release, Hearthstone is hosting two streamed events: StarCast (January 23rd, 10 AM PST) featuring StarCraft personalities TrumpSC and Day9, and HearthCraft (January 24th, 9 AM PST) showcasing Hearthstone community creators. Viewers can earn four packs (two standard, two Golden Great Dark Beyond packs) by watching these streams on Twitch.
