Hearthstone Unveils: Burning Legion Returns with 'The Great Dark Beyond'

Hearthstone's Great Dark Beyond expansion has arrived, introducing 145 new collectible cards, Starships, and the Draenei! Ready to explore the cosmos? Let's dive in.

Who are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new permanent 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 haven. Their cards often feature effects that benefit subsequent Draenei, creating a cohesive, nomadic family dynamic centered around their leader, Velen.

Starships Take Flight!

The Great Dark Beyond's central theme revolves around customizable Starships. Collect Starship Pieces (minions) throughout the expansion. When defeated, these Pieces enhance your Starship, transforming it into a powerful board presence. Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) boasts a unique Starship design. The Exile's Hope offers a neutral location for all classes.
