Now that we have the official announcement of the Rastakhan’s Rumble expansion, it’s time for the Hearthstone: What’s Next? Panel! Unfortunately, unless you are at BlizzCon or have a Virtual Ticket you won’t be able to view it live. Fortunately, however, we will be watching and making notes on everything happens during the panel. We should get some new information, as well as some newly revealed cards!
The Hearthstone: What’s Next? Panel starts at 2:30pm PST and will go on until 3:15pm PST!

They are discussing the teams and how each team corresponds to a particular class and how they were assigned. They are naming each of the teams for each class, you can find more information about that in out Rastakhan’s Guide linked above.
New Card: Hir’eek, the Bat
New Card: Spirit of the Bat
They are now discussing LOA, and how they created the new Legendary Beast Gods.
We’re moving onto the Spirit mechanic! They tried a bunch of different things to keep the spirit minions resilient. They ended up with the stealth for 1-turn. There’s a spirit in every class, and they are all low cost. None cost more than 4-mana.
They are now discussing the creation of the Overkill mechanic.
These are concepts from the various teams that have been included with the lore.
Here’s some concept art from the expansion.
They are discussing some of the early beginnings of how the expansion was created.
i really miss Ben Brode on this announcement, this was so boring and depressing
As always hearthstonetopdecks with the last news, thanks <3 !
Will there be new Hero Cards? I mean… KoTF is rotating out someday…
These “Theme” pictures….what do they mean by “Teams”?
I think that Zul’jin might be a Hunter Hero card. KFT is rotating with the first expansion of 2019, so in ~5 months or so.
Teams are just sort of a theme for each class. They are lead by one champion and a Loa (sort of a troll god) and all of the class cards “belong” to that team (so share similar theme and synergies). As far as we know, they don’t matter gameplay-wise, it’s just lore/story thing.
Helps a lot! Thx mate.
What if i gonna buy the ticket from Blizzcon now?
Just to get the cardback and the packs.
There is the Wc3 Reforged package, with Cardback and ticket for only 30€ ticket price.
Will i still get the blue cardback?
Your links for the Rashkahan info go to the old Boomsday Page. You need to update them.
Fixed now, thanks!
