The Witchwood is Hearthstone's first expansion of 2018

Something spooky is stirring at the heart of The Witchwood™ the next expansion for Hearthstone® Blizzard Entertainment’s smash-hit digital card game

The expansion is scheduled to launch around the middle of April.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure those Hearthstone guys in the video are actually perfectly OK, so you can stop worrying about them and have a look at the first of the new cards down below. They all had a good laugh about it later. More are set to be revealed around March 26. Press and members of the community will begin revealing cards starting the same day! In other words, these will enable new gimmicky decks that may or may not pan out, but people similarly underestimated cards like Razakus that ended up dominating the meta for awhile.

Curious players can keep up with the now announced cards here. "Monster Hunt will release two weeks after The Witchwood launches".

Hearthstone's next expansion is a witch-y affair that brings a chunk of news cards and another dungeon run-style mode to the game.

Magic Johnson already making friends with LeBron James' partners
But instead of passing to Korver for a 3-pointer, James flicked the ball nonchalantly for the easy basket at the rim. Just take a look at the ridiculous no-look pass he threw to Ante Zizic in the second quarter.

INDvAUS, Women's 1st ODI: Nicole Bolton's century guides visitors to emphatic win
As dominant as Australia were with the bat, it was their bowlers that snotted the life out the Indian line-up. The most successful Australian bowler, though, was Jess Jonassen, who returned impressive figures of 4/30.

Serie A resumes following Astori's death
Astori was found dead in his hotel room last Sunday morning, hours before his team were scheduled to play Udinese in a Serie A match.

Dark magic has twisted the creatures of the forest and set them loose upon the Gilnean capital in Azeroth, but King Genn Greymane and his lycanthropic subjects won't make for easy prey. First up, you've got Azalina Soulthief, who replaces your current hand with an exact copy of your opponents hand, meaning both players know exactly what they're facing. Apparently a minion with "Echo" can be played multiple times in the same turn. In addition, crafty deck-builders can employ powerful minions that challenge them to use only odd- or even-cost cards in exchange for a potent advantage.

The Witchwood will also offer players a new single-player mode called Monster Hunt. These ghastly copies can be played again and again (as long as the player has enough mana!) before disappearing at the end of the turn.

RUSH YOUR FOES - When played, minions with the new Rush keyword can attack other minions immediately, but can't attack the enemy Hero until the following turn.

Now for the important bit; The Witchwood is available for preorder right now over on Blizzard's official site, and if you pick up 50 packs, you get an extra 20 for free.
