Hearthstone's Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set: A Massive Expansion Launching January 21st
Get ready for the biggest Hearthstone Mini-Set yet! Launching January 21st, Heroes of StarCraft introduces a whopping 49 new cards, blending the universes of Hearthstone and StarCraft.
This crossover expansion features class-specific cards and multi-class cards representing the three StarCraft factions: Zerg, Protoss, and Terran. Each faction boasts five cards, including a Legendary card, designed to synergize with specific Hearthstone classes. Adding to the excitement, a single neutral Legendary card, Grunty, rounds out the collection.
Faction Focus:
- Zerg (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warlock): Emphasizes summoning hordes of Zerglings and leveraging Hydralisks for swarm-based damage.
- Protoss (Druid, Mage, Priest, Rogue): Centers around manipulating mana, enabling the deployment of powerful, high-cost cards like the Carrier.
- Terran (Paladin, Shaman, Warrior): Leverages the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond expansion, introducing new Starship Pieces and strategies for launching multiple Starships.
Pricing and Availability:
The full Mini-Set costs $20 (or 2500 gold), a slight increase from previous Mini-Sets. A golden version is available for $80 (or 12,000 gold). Alternatively, players can purchase individual faction packs (Protoss, Terran, or Zerg) for $10 (or 1200 gold) each. Cards will also be obtainable through The Great Dark Beyond card packs.

To celebrate the launch, Hearthstone is hosting two streamed events:
- StarCast (January 23rd, 10 AM PST): Featuring StarCraft legends TrumpSC and Day9 showcasing the new cards.
