Hearthstone's massive Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, boasting a record-breaking 49 new cards, launches January 21st. This expansion, revealed during the November 13th, 2024 Warcraft Direct, bridges the gap between Hearthstone and StarCraft, introducing class and multi-class cards themed around the iconic StarCraft factions: Zerg, Protoss, and Terran.

The Mini-Set includes three cards for each Hearthstone class. Zerg cards (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock) emphasize swarming Zerglings and Hydralisk damage scaling. 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, introducing new Starship Pieces and strategies. A single neutral Legendary card, Grunty, completes the lineup. Card reveals will continue throughout the week leading up to the launch.

Acquiring the complete Mini-Set costs $20 (or 2500 gold), a $5 increase over previous Mini-Sets. A golden version costs $80 (12,000 gold). Alternatively, individual faction packs (Protoss, Terran, or Zerg) are available for $10 (1200 gold).

To celebrate, Hearthstone hosts two streamed events:

• StarCast (January 23rd, 10 AM PST): Featuring StarCraft legends TrumpSC and Day9.
• HearthCraft (January 24th, 9 AM PST): Showcasing Hearthstone community creators representing each StarCraft faction.

Watching these Twitch streams earns viewers two normal and two Golden Great Dark Beyond packs. Don't miss out on the free cards!
