If you're a devoted follower of Hearthstone, Blizzard's hit World of Warcraft-themed card battler, you're in for a treat. Not only is Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature set to go live on April 29th, but the new mini set, Embers of the World Tree, will also be released on May 13th. These updates promise to bring fresh excitement to your gaming experience with new minions, unique card types, and other exciting additions to mix up your matches.
The theme of Embers of the World Tree revolves around the Druids of the Flame launching an attack on this ancient monument. Both the Druids and the Dream Defenders opposing them will receive new Imbue and Dark Gifts. The Druids, in particular, will wield Fire Magic to set your opponents ablaze!
The highlight of the mini set is the introduction of Smouldering Cards. These innovative additions to the Hearthstone lineup gain strength the longer they remain in your hand. However, be cautious not to hold onto them for too long, as they'll eventually burn out and vanish. Strategic planning will be essential to maximize their value on each turn.
**Enter the Battleground**
Beyond the mini set, what can you expect from Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature? Trinkets are making a comeback, offering passive power-ups on Turn 6 for lesser trinkets and Turn 9 for greater trinkets. You'll also be able to tap into the power of the wilds with two new heroes: Cenarius and Buttons.
Additionally, the minion pool is set to expand with over 75 new and returning characters and Tavern spells. The Season 10 Battlegrounds Track will also feature an array of new themed cosmetics, perfect for the completionists out there!
