The Grand Tournament Discussion
« on: July 02, 2015, 07:53:09 pm »

EDIT: This thread was originally titled "New Expansion? (July 22, 2015)" but is now devoted to discussion of The Grand Tournament the Hearthstone expansion announced July 22, 2015.

A new expansion is possibly being teased for July 22, 2015? Possibly themed around the Argent Tournament (whatever that is).

http://www.pcgamer.com/next-hearthstone-expansion-teased-for-july-22/

All rumour and speculation at this point, but solid reasons to expect a big announcement like an expansion.

Also possible that this is just an announcement for an announcement and that this is all just hype.

I would bet on July 22 they'd say that there would be expansion released in August/September, but with no set date

They just had a new mode with tavern brawl though. My guess is a new class (Which is totally not needed) and new cards for sure.

Since they are making an announcement to announce an announcement, I can only assume that Garrosh has decided to take his talents to Miami.

Yeah I'm not hoping for a new class. Our nine representatives had to brave through Naxx, Blackrock, and all those batyles to earn classic packs to earn their cards. There's still so much they can bring on their own.

What, some new hotshot thinks he or she can come in with all their 2 years worth of class cards and feel accepted? Bah, they should just make a spinoff or "expansion" if they want more classes.

I doubt they'll be introducing a new class, so my comments above shouldn't be relevant.

They specifically said that there would not be new class this time

New expansion confirmed on http://www.twitch.tv/playhearthstone/ just now. I'll edit in the new name to this thread for discussion when they say it.

I'm watching the stream now. It's like a sequel to the Argent Tournament lore-wise.

Update: It's going to be a 130 card GvG style expansion coming next month. Introduces mechanics dealing with the hero power, including a new keyword mechanic where a minion's effect takes place every time your hero power is used.

Heh, "Inspire" reminds me of Innovation.

-New playfield is going to be there.
-New Mechanic: There will be "a ton" of new cards that effect hero powers.
-New Keyword: Inspire. Everytime you use your hero power Inspire happens.
-Over 130 new cards.

-Available "next month".

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Totem Golem
2 mana ?Rare? Shaman Totem Minion
3/4
Overload: 1

Fallen Hero
2 mana Rare Mage Minion
?3/2?
Make Mage Hero power do an extra damage.

Kodorider
6 mana Epic Neutral Minion
3/5
Inspire: Summon a 3/5 War Kodo

Effigy
3 mana Mage Secret
When a friendly minion dies Recombobulate the minion. (not correct language, but that's the effect)

Stream went down, I'll probably just let r/hearthstone compile the rest of the new cards as this is super time consuming, but I'll edit them in when I see them next.

Worth noting that it's a totem.

Yikes, and Mage was already trying to make Majordomo work with Ice Block and Ice Barrier.

"Beginning with the launch of The Grand Tournament, the Arena will no longer award players only Goblins vs Gnomes card packs. Instead, players will have a chance to receive a Grand Tournament card pack, Goblins vs Gnomes card pack, or a Classic card pack whenever a pack is awarded."
