Hearthstone’slatest expansion,March of the Lich King, is set to bring players a brand-new class: the Death Knight. Fans of the popular card game have only ever gotten to play as the original nine classes since the game’s release, making an all-new class a big change.
March of the Lich King is looking to be one of the biggest expansions to hit Hearthstone. While the new Death Knight class certainly has the attention of fans,Blizzardhas more in store for their Tavern-faring friends.
The expansion will come with 145 new cards, and some of these cards even have new minion types: Undead and Dual-Type minions. Undead cards will appear in neutral packs and any pack associated with the Lich King. Dual-Type minions are exactly as they sound, minions with two minion types like the new card, Frostwyrm; a five mana, five attack, and five health Undead Dragon. Like all Hearthstone expansions, March of the Lich King is bringing new card backs and hero skins as well.
Blizzard is bringing back the popular card mechanic Reborn, the ability to give cards a second summon after their first death. The developer is also adding a brand-new keyword with the expansion, Manathirst. Cards with Manathirst get more powerful once you reach a pre-set amount of mana. The developers of Hearthstone clarify that players won’t need to spend significant amounts of mana, just have it available. All players logging in after the release will also get the new nine mana legendary Sunwell spell, a powerful card that fills players' hands with spells costing one mana less for each card they were already holding.
