As a passionate gamer, I can’t contain my excitement! The Great Dark Beyond is about to welcome us, the Heroes of StarCraft, with a brand-new Mini-Set! Back in the 2024 Blizzard Direct event, they gave us a sneak peek, but on January 13th, they unveiled even more tantalizing details. Stay tuned for the official release date of this thrilling Mini-Set, some enticing card previews, and so much more!

Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set release date

As a die-hard gamer, I can’t contain my excitement as I count down the days to January 21st! That’s when the Hearthstone: Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set drops, bringing an incredible 49 new cards into the fray for The Great Dark Beyond expansion. What makes this set truly unique is that it splits the cards across three distinct StarCraft factions – Zerg, Protoss, and Terran. Can’t wait to see which allegiance I’ll be pledging come launch day!

In the gaming world I inhabit, these 49 cards are organized into three distinct categories for each class, five intertwined ones for each faction, and a single card that doesn’t belong to any specific side.

Hearthstone StarCraft factions explained

In this fantasy setting, the Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, and Warlock characters align with the Zerg faction. On the other hand, the Protoss are symbolized by the Druid, Mage, Priest, and Rogue classes. Lastly, the Terran faction is represented by Paladin, Shaman, and Warrior players.

StarCraft Hearthstone cards

Regarding the character previews, it’s clear that Sarah Kerrigan serves as the leader of the Zerg faction, depicted in a hero card. This faction includes cards like the Spawning Pool, Zerglings, and Hydralisks.

Currently, the leader of the Protoss faction is revealed to be High Templar Artanis. Decks featuring construct pylons, photon cannons, and carriers belong within this group.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but exclaim my excitement over the Terran faction, spearheaded by none other than Jim Raynor! Their deck boasts the SCV, Missile Pod, and Siege Tank cards. What truly sets the Terran apart is their exceptional synergy with Starships. This synergy shines even brighter with the unique Battlecruiser Starship card in their arsenal.

If you’re a Paladin, Shaman, or Warrior when deploying your Spaceship, it will transform into a Battlecruiser – similar to how each Starship class had distinctive designs in the original collection, but this time also including a Mechanical minion as an additional feature. This is according to Blizzard’s explanation of the card functionality and the introduction of the Mech minion type.
