The first wing of the Karazhan expansion for Hearthstone is live. We have the cards that await you there.
A Party Without a Host
As of tonight (August 12, 2016), the expansion “A Night in Karazhan” for Hearthstone is live. The first wing, “The Parlor”, can now be unlocked for 700 gold. Those who purchase the entire expansion for real money can also secure an additional card back.
Before players can enter the first wing, they must complete the introduction mission. Here, they receive a special deck from Medivh and can show an uninvited guest what the mightiest mage of Azeroth has prepared. Rewards also include the following cards:
After that, it’s time to face the first “real” boss, the Tablet Silver Golem. He summons a 1/1 plate every turn, which he further enhances with other cards. Plenty of cliché sayings, like “Shards bring luck”, are, of course, included.
Next, we move on to the Magic Mirror, which has an interesting passive ability. Whenever a minion is played (regardless of who plays it!), a 1/1 copy of that minion is created. Especially minions with effects like “Charge” or “Taunt” are particularly suited here.
Lastly, the well-known Chess Event awaits. Here, the player receives a pre-made deck of chess pieces, all of which have special properties. Most cannot attack directly, but instead attack the opponent who is directly across from them at the end of the turn. Strategic planning is key to success here – especially since the opponent can cheat to eliminate a game piece.
As usual, the battles in normal game mode are not particularly challenging – but that changes quickly in heroic mode.
Together with the two class challenges and the final reward “Moroes”, you will thus get 11 new cards from the first wing and 2 more from the tutorial.
