Whether you’re into metal, hippie, emo, folk, electronic, disco,

everyone to rave about in the Tavern! Hitting the stage today is
Festival of Legends™, the latest expansion to Hearthstone®,
Blizzard Entertainment’s digital card game. Everyone’s invited to
the biggest music festival that Azeroth has ever seen, with a

In this new set of 145 cards, each class has a Legendary
minion representing their genre’s star musician, as well as a
Legendary spell that showcases that musician’s most famous
song. Every class also has a finely tuned instrument weapon, with
some carrying Deathrattle effects that improve while in play. New
Harmonic spells switch between harmonic and dissonant
frequencies each turn they’re in hand, so be sure to follow the
rhythm of the match to maximize your impact! Soloist minions
love having the spotlight on them and them alone—they have special
Battlecry effects if they’re the only minion in play on that side
of the board. And to finish your performance with a bang, cards
with the new Finale keyword get special bonuses if playing
them uses up all your remaining mana.
“The Festival of Legends has arrived, setting the stage for
tales of adventure for music fans across Azeroth,” said Mike
Ybarra, President of Blizzard Entertainment. “The team’s creativity
really shines in this expansion, and we are excited to showcase
all-new mechanics as players get into the theme of battle between
bands. The stage is set for a rockin’ good time!”
This expansion also features a special tune-up for the Priest
class—healing is a major part of their class fantasy, and they’re
ready to share even more of their power with their minions! Priest
minions with the new Overheal keyword trigger a special
effect when healed above their max health. Now that’s
self-care!
Festival of Legends™ is the first expansion for the Year of the
Wolf, which brings new Core Set updates. Additional cards
included in Core Set feature highlights from United in Stormwind™
and Fractured in Alterac Valley™ (the Tradeable keyword is now a
permanent keyword), and several Magnetic cards (just for Year of
the Wolf) for players to fuse together. Head over to the Core Set
update blog for more information on the Year of the Wolf.
