Hearthstone welcomes you to the Emerald Dream in upcoming expansion

If you've been keeping up with the Pocket Gamer team's weekly Wrapps, you're probably aware of my recent dive into Hearthstone. However, I'm about to fall further behind with the launch of the game's latest update. The "Into the Emerald Dream" expansion, set to launch on March 25th, will introduce 145 new cards, shaking up strategies and combat tactics.

This update brings not only new cards but also fresh Keywords to master: Imbue (for Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, and Shaman) and Dark Gifts (for Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior). I'm still wrapping my head around how these affect gameplay, but they're sure to alter the meta, especially with the expanded Choose One keyword. Every class will receive a Choose One card, offering two modes to select from during battle, adding another layer of strategy.

Adding to the mix is a new Legendary minion, Ysera, Emerald Aspect, which promises to stir the pot even more. It looks like I'll have my work cut out for me as I face off against these new decks.

You can already pre-purchase the new bundles until the expansion's release on March 25th. If you're looking for other options, why not check out our list of the best card games on Android to keep your gaming appetite satisfied?
