If you're a devoted follower of Hearthstone, Blizzard's hit World of Warcraft-themed card battler, then you're in for a treat. Mark your calendars because Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature is set to launch on April 29th, followed by the exciting new mini set, Embers of the World Tree, on May 13th. Both updates promise to enhance your gameplay with a range of new minions, card types, and other thrilling additions to mix up your matches.
The Embers of the World Tree mini set introduces a captivating theme where the Druids of the Flame are on a mission to attack this ancient monument. Both the Druids and their adversaries, the Dream Defenders, gain access to new Imbue and Dark Gifts, with the Druids harnessing Fire Magic to light up your opponents. The star of the show in this mini set are the Smouldering Cards. These unique additions grow stronger the longer they stay in your hand. However, be cautious not to hold onto them too long, as they'll eventually flame out and vanish. Strategic planning will be crucial to maximizing their value on each turn.
**Enter the Battleground**
Beyond the mini set, Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature brings a host of new features. Trinkets, those passive power-ups, are making a comeback, available on Turn 6 for lesser trinkets and Turn 9 for greater ones. You'll also have the chance to tap into the power of the wilds with two new heroes: Cenarius and Buttons.
The minion pool sees a significant expansion with over 75 new and returning characters and Tavern spells, ensuring diverse gameplay. Additionally, the Season 10 Battlegrounds Track offers an array of themed cosmetics for the completionists out there, adding even more flair to your collection.
