Hearthstone’s next expansion will be a Troll-themed set called Rastakhan’s Rumble, Blizzard announced during the BlizzCon 2018 opening ceremony.
Early reports say the expansion will add 135 new cards to Hearthstone, all themed around a massive Troll competition where nine tribes (one for each class) fight for dominance at the behest of Troll King Rastakhan. It will also introduce the keyword Overkill, which provides a bonus if you deal more damage than you need when killing a minion.
Each class will be getting a 0/3 minion called a Spirit, all of which have stealth for one turn and provide a bonus helpful to that class’ strategy. Each class will also have a legendary minion called a Loa, essentially a god, and will be extremely large and potentially powerful as a result. The Paladin Loa was revealed to be Shirvallah the Tiger, which costs 25 mana – the highest mana cost of any collectible card in the game – but can be made cheaper by casting spells.
Similar to previous expansions, Rastakhan’s Rumble will have a pre-order bundle that offers 50 packs, a card back, and the King Rastakhan hero portrait. It is set to launch on December 4.
