Hearthstone’s new expansion is just on the horizon, and bringing with it a whole host of fiery new abilities and creatures along with the new Dragon minion type and even some abilities that depend on what is in your hand at the time it’s played.
So, as I’ve done this for Naxxramas and Goblins vs. Gnomes in the past and we’re so close to a release, here’s your update on exactly what new cards have been released publicly so far:
