Voyage to the Sunken City is set to be Hearthstone’s first expansion of 2022. As such, there’s a lot of excitement over what new cards and mechanics the expansion will bring to the game. Let’s take a look at what Voyage to the Sunken City is actually bringing to the table!
New Mechanics
Voyage to the Sunken City introduces two keywords to Hearthstone: Colossal and Dredge. Both keywords are looking like they’ll introduce plenty of new possibilities for players looking to get inventive with deckbuilding.
The Colossal keyword specifies minions that are literally too large to fit on a single card! When played from your hand, they summon one or more additional tokens that represent parts of the minion that were too large to fit on the first card. The extra tokens all have their own effects that synergize with the original card and may require unique strategies to effectively play around.
Dredge, the other new keyword, lets you look at the bottom three cards of your deck and choose one of them to move to the top. Beyond simply giving you more control over what cards you’re drawing, it will have powerful interactions with cards that actively place strong cards at the bottom of your deck.
New Tribes
Just one new tribe is coming with Voyage to the Sunken City and as it turns out, it’s something of an old tribe! Naga have been in Hearthstone since the very beginning, but Voyage to the Sunken City formalizes them as a minion type. Some of the new cards feature strong interactions with spells that you cast while you still have any of the Naga cards in your hand.
And More!
Beyond completely new cards with a slew of new mechanics, Voyage to the Sunken City is also adding a new game board, the Azshara card back, two new coin cards and a new reward track. While all of this is limited to purely aesthetic additions to the game, it never hurts to have a little more variety.
So What All is Being Added in Voyage to the Sunken City?
Voyage to the Sunken City adds the Colossal and Dredge keywords, the Naga minion tribe and a huge number of new cards. Additionally, it adds a new game board, a new card back, new coin cards and a new reward track. With so many new additions to Hearthstone, there’s a lot to look forward to with Voyage to the Sunken City!
