Voyage to the Sunken City™, the latest expansion for Blizzard
Entertainment’s smash-hit digital card game Hearthstone®, is now
live, kicking off the Year of the Hydra with an underwater odyssey
to the remnants of Zin-Azshari—an ancient city that sunk in the
Great Sundering over ten millennia ago. Local marine life has since
flourished there, as illustrated in Voyage to the Sunken City’s 135
new cards that bubble up fishy friends, foes, and fauna of all
sizes—and appetites.

Hearthstone Voyage to the Sunken City
Logo
To avoid becoming part of the Great Sea food chain, players will
need to conquer and ally with creatures that lurk deep below the
surface. Voyage to the Sunken City introduces Colossal
Legendary minions for each class that come with monstrous
appendages whenever they’re summoned. Locating these specimens can
be helped with the new keyword Dredge, which enables players
to choose one of the three cards on the bottom of their deck to put
on top and draw next. Dredge also synergizes well with new Azsharan
cards that send a powerful “Sunken” treasure to the bottom of the
deck. Combining these splashy mechanics creates an excavation-type
playstyle that encourages forward thinking and thoughtful
deckbuilding.
Players should tread lightly in navigating this ocean floor,
though, as it belongs to its cursed inhabitants: Voyage to the
Sunken City also introduces the spell-focused Naga minion type,
which often give bonuses for playing one or more spells while in
hand. The Naga minion tag has also been applied to previously
released Naga characters, such as Wrathscale Naga and Naga Sand
Witch.
“Voyage to the Sunken City delivers a joyful Hearthstone twist
on the fantasy of Nazjatar, which players will know well from
Warcraft, and we think it'll make a huge splash as our first
expansion for the Year of the Hydra,” said Mike Ybarra, President
of Blizzard Entertainment. “The vibrant art, nautical-themed
mechanics, and introduction of the Naga minion type all add up to
an immersive new experience that we're thrilled to be sharing with
players today.”
Hearthstone Core Set Update & Set Rotation
Numerous changes for Hearthstone’s foundational Core set, which
is free for all players to unlock as they level up, are live today
in the game. With 57 cards rotating out of the Core set and 72

meta—the set now totals 250 cards, which is 15 more than last
year.

of Explorers: Reno Jackson, Brann Bronzebeard, Elise Starseeker,
and Sir Finley Mrrgglton. Other returning favorites include
Voidwalker, Wild Pyromancer, Acolyte of Pain, Mossy Horror, Cloaked
Huntress, and Fandral Staghelm.
Set rotation takes place today as well, sending card sets from
the Year of the Phoenix—Ashes of Outland™, Scholomance Academy™,
and Madness at the Darkmoon Faire™—to the game’s Wild format. The
Standard card pool now consists of sets from the Year of the
Gryphon—Forged in the Barrens™, United in Stormwind™, and Fractured
in Alterac Valley™—along with Voyage to the Sunken City and
Core.
