Hearthstone Unveils Emerald Dream Expansion, Introducing Meta-Shifting Keywords

by Owen May 15,2025

The new Hearthstone expansion, Into the Emerald Dream, is now live, bringing a fresh wave of excitement with 145 new cards to the collectible card battler. This expansion introduces innovative mechanics that promise to shake up the game's meta and enhance your strategic gameplay.

One of the standout features is the new Imbue Keyword, which allows you to tap into the power of the World Tree. As a Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, or Shaman, playing an Imbue card for the first time grants you a unique Hero Power specific to your class. Each subsequent Imbue card you play will upgrade this power, enabling you to unleash devastating effects on your opponents.

Another exciting addition is the Dark Gifts Keyword, which introduces powerful minion enhancements. These boosts can be paired with specific Discover options, offering new strategic possibilities for Warrior, Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Warlock, and Rogue players.

The Expanded Keyword, Choose One, also returns with a twist, allowing you to select between two different modes when playing these cards. This feature adds another layer of decision-making to your gameplay, ensuring that every match is filled with thrilling choices.
