United in Stormwind <\/i>introduces Questline <\/b>cards for every class, each one providing a peek into the formative stories of the new mercenary characters introduced in the Year of the Gryphon. Players start a match with their Questline cards in their hand, and they\u2019re rewarded with powerful in-game effects whenever they complete one of the challenges they present. Once the third phase in each Questline is complete, the Mercenary joins their side\u2014as a powerful Legendary minion.\n<\/p>\n

\nTo take part in the bustle and commerce of Stormwind, players can add cards with the Tradeable <\/b>keyword to their decks. Tradeable cards provide situationally powerful effects, with the added flexibility of being able to swap them out for a different card in the player\u2019s deck for the cost of one mana. World of Warcraft<\/i>\u00ae<\/sup> tradeskills come to Hearthstone<\/i> in the form of Profession Tools<\/b>, being placed in the weapon slot and unlocking unique abilities\u2014like the Paladin\u2019s Prismatic Jewel Kit, which boosts the power of minions in the player\u2019s hand whenever a friendly minion loses a Divine Shield. Finally, players can saddle up by acquiring Mount <\/b>cards, which come into play in the form of a minion buff, and then summon the trusty steed itself once the empowered minion is defeated.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cUnited in Stormwind<\/i> captures the magic behind many of the memorable moments players experience while leveling up a World of Warcraft<\/i>\u00ae<\/sup> character,\u201d said J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment. \u201cThis iconic setting is the perfect place to continue the stories we\u2019ve been telling during the Year of the Gryphon, and we think players are going to have a blast with all the new mechanics it\u2019s inspired.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe United in Stormwind<\/i> Mega Bundle <\/b>is available for pre-purchase starting today for $79.99 USD and includes:\n<\/p>\n
