Blizzard Entertainment is bringing a breath of fresh air to Hearthstone with the third expansion of the Year of Pegasus: "The Great Dark Expanses" is now officially available. Players can look forward to a total of 145 brand-new cards, including iconic Starships, the new Draenei minion type and the return of the popular keyword "Spellburst". This expansion takes us on a journey into the cosmos and offers a variety of new strategic possibilities.

Spaceship keyword: build and launch

One of the most exciting new features of this expansion is the new "Spaceship" keyword. Players can assemble their own spaceship during the course of the game. Spaceship pieces appear as regular servants on the board and can be played like any other card. If a spaceship part dies, its values are automatically added to your spaceship. As soon as the ship is complete, it can be launched and takes over the playing field. Each of the six classes that have spaceship cards (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue and Warlock) has its own visual representation and the specific name of its spaceship. At the same time, however, the central platform "The Exile's Hope" remains open to all classes.

The new Draenei servant type: the exiles in space

The Draenei, a people driven out by the Burning Legion, have dedicated themselves to finding a new home. In "The Great Dark Expanses", they are part of the Hearthstone world as a new permanent minion type. The Draenei are known for their hope and solidarity. Many of them bring special effects into play that strengthen the next Draenei played, expanding the deck's strategic possibilities. Under the leadership of Prophet Velen, they offer players the chance to expand and strengthen their Draenei synergies in a targeted manner.

The return of Spell Boost: Powerful combinations

The popular keyword "Spell Boost" returns in "The Great Dark Expanses". With Spell Boost, cards gain an effect when you play a spell. By playing cards in the right order, you can achieve great power combinations and impressive moments. This mechanic provides numerous tactical possibilities and brings a familiar dynamic back into the game.

Demonic threat and a new journey

The Draenei are not alone in this expansion, however. The Burning Legion is on their trail, and their seemingly endless forces are ever-present. Players must develop strategies to escape the demonic hordes and ensure the survival of their draenei.
