Hearthstone’s latest expansion, *Into the Emerald Dream*, is now live—and it brings with it a wave of fresh mechanics and 145 brand-new cards to shake up the meta. Whether you're a seasoned duelist or just getting back into the game, this expansion introduces exciting new ways to build your deck and dominate your opponents.
If you're looking for more strategic depth, the new Imbue keyword offers a powerful twist. When played for the first time as a Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, or Shaman, Imbue cards grant you a unique Hero Power tied to your class. And every time you play another Imbue card, you get to upgrade that power—making your Hero ability stronger and more deadly with each use.
For those who prefer a more aggressive playstyle, the Dark Gifts mechanic is here to empower your minions. These special effects can be combined with specific Discover options for Warrior, Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Warlock, and Rogue decks, letting you customize your board state and surprise your opponent with tailored advantages.
And let's not forget about the enhanced Choose One mechanic, which gives players even more flexibility in battle. These cards now offer two distinct modes to choose from when played, allowing for dynamic decisions based on the current state of the game. It's all about adapting on the fly and making every move count.
With so many new features and strategies to explore, now is the perfect time to dive back into Hearthstone and start experimenting with your decks. The expansion opens up a whole new layer of gameplay, and if you want to stay competitive, it's time to adapt quickly.
