Hearthstone's upcoming Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, launching January 21st, boasts a record-breaking 49 new cards. This expansion, the largest Mini-Set to date, introduces class and multi-class cards themed around StarCraft's iconic factions: Zerg, Protoss, and Terran.
Initially teased during the November 13th, 2024 Warcraft Direct, the Mini-Set bridges the gap between Hearthstone and Blizzard's StarCraft universe. The full reveal details the card distribution: three cards per Hearthstone class, five faction-specific cards per StarCraft race (including one Legendary per faction), and a single neutral Legendary card, Grunty. Card reveals will continue throughout the week leading up to the launch.
Key Features:
- Massive Card Count: 49 new cards – the largest Mini-Set ever.
- Faction-Specific Cards: Cards aligned with Zerg (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock), Protoss (Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue), and Terran (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior) factions.
- Thematic Synergies: Zerg cards emphasize swarming Zerglings and Hydralisk damage scaling; Protoss cards focus on mana manipulation and powerful late-game plays; Terran cards utilize the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond.
Pricing and Availability:
- Full Mini-Set: $20 (or 2500 gold) for a complete set; $80 (or 12,000 gold) for the all-Golden version.
- Faction Packs: $10 (or 1200 gold) per faction (Zerg, Protoss, or Terran).
