Classes will be back in session early August when Hearthstone receives its next expansion with the arrival of Scholomance Academy! 135 all-new cards will be for students to discover in the hallowed halls of this college of magic, with sorcerous synergies and dazzling displays of arcane splendor.
At Scholomance Academy, immerse yourselves in many a magical discipline with Dual-Class cards. As the name implies, these cards will be usable by two classes, designed around mechanics and strategies they both share. Hunters and Druids will find new ways to harness their power and affinity with beasts. 40 Dual-Class cards will be in this expansion, including 10 signature Legendary professor minions—one for each of the unique class pairings.
Master the new Spellburst keyword on minions and weapons, which triggers a powerful one-time effect the next time the player casts a spell. Discover cards through Studies, which also reduces the mana cost of the next card they play of that type.
“We love introducing new twists and mechanics to Hearthstone, and Scholomance Academy is one of our most inventive expansions to date.”
“This is Hearthstone at its best, and we can’t wait to see what players do with the new Dual-Class cards and all the other tools and tricks we’re adding.”
J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment
