Hearthstone's StarCraft mini-set arrives soon

Hearthstone's Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set breaks records with 49 game-changing cards launching January 21

Blizzard is blending cosmic strategy with card battler chaos as Hearthstone unveils its most ambitious Mini-Set yet. Forget the usual 38-card offerings - this StarCraft crossover packs a whopping 49 new additions that'll reshape competitive play.

Faction Warfare Comes to Hearthstone

The Mini-Set introduces revolutionary faction-based mechanics that rewrite Hearthstone's deck-building rules. Death Knights and Warlocks can now command swarming Zerg hordes, while Druids and Priests harness the Protoss' psionic might. Warriors and Paladins gain devastating Terran starship technology - each faction bringing unique playstyles to their eligible classes.

This isn't just a card drop - it's a miniature expansion with pricing to match. At $20 for the full set (or 2500 gold), it demands more investment than typical Mini-Sets. But the faction packs offer budget entry at $10 each, letting players specialize in their preferred StarCraft race.

Launch Events You Can't Miss

Blizzard is celebrating with two must-watch streaming spectacles. StarCast on January 23 features legendary players showing off the new meta, while HearthCraft on the 24th turns the crossover into competitive madness. Better yet - viewers score free card packs just for tuning in.

Strategic depth reaches new heights with faction-specific mechanics. Zerg players will drown opponents in expendable units, Protoss decks accelerate mana like never before, and Terran commanders assemble unstoppable starship fleets. The neutral legendary Grunty adds wildcard potential to any strategy.

With the largest Mini-Set in Hearthstone history launching January 21, the only question is: which faction will you command when the cosmic battle begins?
