New Hearthstone Cards Revealed for Whispers of the Old Gods Expansion
Blizzard has revealed the first eight new cards in Hearthstone's upcoming expansion, called Whispers of the Old Gods.
Among them are corrupted versions of classic cards such as Loot Hoarder and Doomsayer--the latter of which is a uniquely part-time 7/7 for five mana. You can see images of the first eight below.
Possibly the biggest game-changer is the Eater of Secrets, a four-mana 2/4 that destroys all secrets and gets buffed 1/1 for each one. It singlehandedly threatens to eliminate Paladin Secret decks.
The theme of Hearthstone's third expansion is ancient, god-like evils awakening from their slumber, and four legendary cards will be introduced to carry this theme. One that has already been revealed is C'Thun, a ten-mana 6/6 with a unique battlecry that can be buffed before it is deployed by using other cards. Hearthstone designer Ben Brode says there are 16 new cards that interact with C'Thun in some way; the first two are shown in the gallery below.
