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, a crossover with Blizzard's StarCraft universe, introduces class and multi-class cards themed around the Zerg, Protoss, and Terran factions.

The Mini-Set's card distribution includes three cards per Hearthstone class. Zerg cards (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock) emphasize summoning Zerglings and leveraging Hydralisks for swarm-based damage. Protoss cards (Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue) focus on mana manipulation to deploy powerful units like the Carrier. Terran cards (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior) utilize the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond expansion, introducing new Starship Pieces and strategies. A single neutral Legendary card, Grunty, completes the set.

Priced at $20 (or 2500 gold) for a complete set, or $80 (12,000 gold) for the golden version, the Mini-Set also offers individual faction packs (Protoss, Terran, Zerg) for $10 (1200 gold) each. This pricing reflects the increased card count compared to previous Mini-Sets.

To celebrate the release, Blizzard is hosting two streamed events:

• StarCast (January 23, 10 AM PST): Featuring StarCraft legends TrumpSC and Day9 showcasing the new cards.
• HearthCraft (January 24, 9 AM PST): Hearthstone community creators compete in faction-based matches and mini-games.

Viewers of these Twitch streams will receive two standard and two Golden The Great Dark Beyond packs. Don't miss the chance to earn free cards and witness the exciting gameplay!
