Hearthstone Drops The Great Dark Beyond Bringing Back the Burning Legion

by Harper Jan 05,2025

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

Who are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new permanent minion type in Hearthstone, are cosmic beings, known from Warcraft lore as the "Exiled Ones." 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 synergistic, family-like feel. They are united under their leader, Velen.

Starships Take Flight!

"The Great Dark Beyond" introduces customizable Starships. Collect Starship Pieces—regular minions—and combine their stats and effects into your Starship when they're defeated, creating a powerful weapon for deployment. Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) boasts a unique Starship design. For a neutral space, visit The Exile's Hope.
