Hearthstone's "The Great Dark Beyond" expansion has arrived, introducing 145 new collectible cards, Starships, and the Draenei! Ready to explore? Let's dive in.

Who are the Draenei?

The Draenei, a new permanent minion type in Hearthstone, are cosmic beings – the "Exiled Ones" from Warcraft lore. Having fled their homeworld to escape the Burning Legion, they now journey through "The Great Dark Beyond" seeking a new home. Their cards often feature effects that benefit subsequent Draenei minions, creating a synergistic, nomadic family dynamic centered around their leader, Velen.

Starships Take Flight!

"The Great Dark Beyond" centers around customizable Starships. Collect Starship Pieces (minions) throughout the expansion. When defeated, their stats and effects are absorbed into your Starship, empowering it for a powerful later deployment. Each class (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) boasts a unique Starship design. For a neutral location, visit The Exile's Hope.
