| 8s | HEARTHSTONE FESTIVAL OF LEGENDS |
|---|---|
| 10s | Welcome, everyone, to the Festival of Legends, |
| 13s | Hearthstone’s newest expansion! |
| 16s | I’m Leo Robles Gonzalez, the lead for this set. |
| 18s | We’ve got plenty of rockin’ new cards and mechanics |
| 20s | that’ll be sure to shake up the game. |
| 22s | ETC, the face of music in Azeroth, |
| 25s | is hosting the largest, most mind-melting musical event the world has ever seen! |
| 30s | It’s showtime! |
| 32s | Eleven musicians and bands of various genres |
| 35s | have been invited by ETC to compete against one another. |
| 38s | The expansion takes place in Thousand Needles, |
| 41s | a beautiful landscape with spires towering over a bed of water. |
| 45s | With the help of goblin and gnomish technology, |
| 48s | Thousand Needles is the perfect spot to host a totally gnarly festival. |
| 53s | Each one of Hearthstone’s classes |
| 54s | will be closely tied to its own, unique genre. |
| 58s | This update has something for everyone, |
| 60s | but today we’ll be focusing on revealing cards from four classes. |
| 63s | Headlining today’s show is none other than the Prince of Pop: Hedanis. Wild! |
| 70s | Priest will be represented |
| 71s | by the up-and-coming pop sensations, Poison Bloom! |
| 77s | Nice! |
| 78s | When we were first assigning classes to genres, |
| 81s | we started by identifying the “vibe” of each of the genres. |
| 84s | Pop stars are known for their fully devoted fans, |
| 87s | but still have a penchant for the dramatic. |
| 89s | Priest’s mastery over Holy and Shadow magic |
| 91s | felt like a great representation of that energy! |
| 94s | Each class has a Legendary musician minion to be the face of their genre, |
| 99s | like Priest’s lead member Heartbreaker Hedanis. |
| 103s | Heartbreaker Hedanis is a Legendary showcase |
| 105s | of Priest’s new Core keyword: Overheal! |
| 109s | When a minion with Overheal is restored past full Health, |
| 112s | you trigger their Overheal bonus. |
| 114s | Hedanis works great with any healing cards, |
| 117s | like the brand-new location for Priest: Fan Club. |
| 121s | Playing a Fan Club ahead of time |
| 123s | lets you line up some sweet Overheal plays! |
| 125s | Stay tuned for the full details of Overheal |
| 128s | and the Priest’s Core set coming soon. |
| 130s | Poison Bloom have one last mechanic to wrap up their set: |
| 134s | Finale, our new keyword! |
| 136s | Cards with Finale, like Power Chord: Synchronize or Ghost Writer, |
| 140s | give you a bonus if playing them spends all your remaining Mana. |
| 143s | Try to plan your turns to end on a strong Finale performance |
| 147s | and you’ll be sure to drown out your opponent with your sweet tunage! |
| 151s | Now put your hands together for the mechanical machinations |
| 155s | of MC Blingtron and his hip-hop Rogue bots! |
| 160s | One of our goals with this expansion |
| 162s | was to make sure the most popular genres were represented. |
| 165s | Hip-hop was a no-brainer to fit into the set, and since Rogue is known |
| 169s | for their rhythmic combos and dance-like maneuvers, |
| 172s | it seemed like a perfect fit |
| 173s | for the genre that brought us beatboxing and break dancing! |
| 176s | In Hearthstone, Rogues are masters of weapons, |
| 179s | and in the Festival of Legends, |
| 181s | every class gets a weapon in the form of instruments! |
| 184s | Most of these weapons have awesome Deathrattle effects |
| 187s | that get better if you do certain actions while they’re equipped. |
| 190s | Rogue’s Record Scratcher needs Combo cards to improve, |
| 194s | like Beatboxer! |
| 196s | Put on your own performance and improve your musical prowess with instruments! |
| 205s | There’s one more instrument to showcase, so let's get a drumroll, please. |
| 213s | And now, let's make some noise for our next class act: |
| 217s | Blight Boar, the Death Knights of metal music! |
| 224s | Brutal. |
| 226s | Blight Boar is a forsaken death metal band |
| 228s | with a literal cult following from World of Warcraft. |
| 231s | With Death Knight’s recent addition as our 11th class, |
| 234s | matching them to Blight Boar’s death metal music was a killer fit! |
| 239s | Death Knight’s instrument is the Arcanite Ripper, |
| 242s | a sweet piece of a new Blood Death Knight deck |
| 244s | all about manipulating your own Health. |
| 246s | While you’re shredding on your Arcanite Ripper, |
| 249s | put Screaming Banshee on the mic. |
| 251s | Her Lifesteal helps fuel your Arcanite Ripper, |
| 254s | which then summons a Lifesteal minion |
| 255s | to feed back into the Banshee’s own effect! |
| 258s | And that’s not all that Death Knight has going on! |
| 261s | Introducing the first Legendary spell of the expansion, |
| 264s | the first Blood Frost and Unholy card, |
| 267s | and the first song to reach the Azeroth Top 100 Charts: |
| 271s | Climactic Necrotic Explosion! |
| 274s | With every class’s Legendary musician minion |
| 277s | they will also get a Legendary spell |
| 279s | to represent that musician or band’s most popular song. |
| 283s | What I love about these spells is that they look like album art! |
| 287s | Climactic Necrotic Explosion shows off all of the members of Blight Boar |
| 291s | along with their band’s logo. |
| 294s | Now that's metal! |
| 295s | Let’s take a look at another example of a new cycle of spells: |
| 300s | Harmonic Metal. |
| 302s | These spells have effects with two numbers on them |
| 305s | that swap to their Dissonant forms each turn they’re in your hand. |
| 309s | Do you want a smaller handbuff on more minions, |
| 312s | or a bigger handbuff on fewer minions? |
| 314s | Plan your turns accordingly! |
| 316s | Not every class will be getting a Harmonic spell, |
| 319s | but those that aren’t |
| 320s | will get a different mechanic that’s showcased in our next genre. |
| 325s | Ladies and gentleorcs, |
| 327s | please join me in welcoming the famed Warlock composer: |
| 331s | Rin and her demonic orchestra! |
| 338s | To answer the question of what genre Warlocks would be, |
| 341s | we first asked, “How would Warlocks play music?” |
| 345s | We figured they’d summon legions of demons to play their music for them, |
| 348s | which lends itself perfectly to symphonies! |
| 351s | Plus, with how sinister Warlocks are, |
| 354s | we can really play up the drama of classical music. |
| 356s | Warlock is one of the classes that get a Soloist minion. |
| 360s | Soloists gain special bonuses if they’re the only minion you control. |
| 364s | If you’re a fan of slower decks and in need of a board clear, |
| 368s | hire an Opera Soloist! |
| 370s | Or maybe you’re tapping into the forbidden arts |
| 373s | of dealing damage to your own hero. |
| 374s | Void Virtuoso lets you negate that damage entirely with its effect. |
| 379s | And we may just be introducing a new Warlock archetype |
| 383s | that deals damage to your own hero in a unique way. |
| 387s | But for now, let’s take a peek at the other genres! |
| 391s | Now it's time for the Battle of the Bands! |
| 394s | It’s turning into an all-out brawl! |
| 396s | Oh, yeah! |
| 399s | We covered four classes, |
| 401s | but there’s still other class-and-genre pairings |
| 403s | I can’t wait to talk about! |
| 405s | To start us off, let’s look at Paladin’s groovy new Legendary song: |
| 409s | Starlight Groove! |
| 411s | This is the first time we’re putting Divine Shield on your hero, |
| 414s | which is sweet and synergizes with some other Paladin cards in this set. |
| 419s | You may have also noticed that the musician in the art piece |
| 422s | is none other than Kangor from The Boomsday Project! |
| 425s | One of my favorite things about working on this expansion |
| 428s | was revisiting previous characters under a musical lens. |
| 432s | Asking questions like, “What does Kangor do in his free time?” |
| 436s | got us to hilarious answers like, “He’s a famous disco-dancing musician!” |
| 440s | Druid and Shaman |
| 442s | are both in a more relaxed, laid-back space in this expansion. |
| 446s | For Druid, Peaceful Piper showcases the perfect vibes for their genre - |
| 450s | think drum circles and a rainbow of colors. |
| 453s | Playing to the tune of nature |
| 455s | gives Druid musicians their affinity for Beasts, |
| 457s | and trust me when I say |
| 458s | that we’ve got some exciting Beasts in Druid this expansion. |
| 461s | Shamans are all about jazz - going where the music takes you, |
| 466s | improvising, and of course: Brass Elementals. |
| 469s | A woodwind with Windfury made a ton of sense. |
| 473s | Druid and Shaman are both classes |
| 474s | that have brand new characters as their musicians, |
| 477s | which I’m hyped for y’all to see later. |
| 479s | There are so many genres I’m excited about that it’s impossible to pick just one! |
| 484s | I want to play an amalgamation of them all combined! |
| 488s | Oh, would you look at that? It’s The One-Amalgam Band! |
| 491s | The more varied minion types you play in one game, |
| 494s | the crazier his Battlecry gets! |
| 496s | The random bonus effects cover eight of the keywords in the core set, |
| 500s | such as Rush, Lifesteal, or Reborn. |
| 503s | There’s also bound to be some of you |
| 505s | that think all the genres we’ve shown off so far are too mainstream. |
| 509s | For those who relish the quirky and obscure, we've got our Hipsters. |
| 513s | To close out our card reveals, |
| 515s | it’s the Tauren that’s responsible for the Festival of Legends: |
| 518s | ETC, Band Manager. |
| 520s | ETC’s goal with this festival |
| 522s | was to share the spotlight with all the other musicians on Azeroth, |
| 525s | and his card does just that. |
| 527s | While building your deck, |
| 529s | you can include three cards from your collection into ETC’s “band”, |
| 533s | which you then get to Discover from when playing ETC. |
| 537s | And best of all, ETC, Band Manager |
| 539s | is being given for free to any player who logs into the game right now! |
| 545s | Now let’s keep this energy pumping! |
| 547s | Woohoo! |
| 549s | Let’s see what Signature cards will look like in the Festival of Legends. |
| 553s | Right off the bat, their art style is colorful and musical. |
| 557s | We’re also excited to share |
| 558s | an updated frame and style for the 2023 Signature cards. |
| 562s | We want to celebrate the card art, |
| 564s | so we’ve adjusted the text to best showcase the full image. |
| 567s | Moving forward, Signature cards will be animated, |
| 570s | and while still uncraftable, |
| 572s | are now able to be disenchanted for the same value as a Golden card. |
| 576s | We're also still jamming on Signature cards in general |
| 579s | and are planning on more changes in the future, |
| 581s | so you can expect more details coming soon. |
| 584s | Let me hear you make some noise for our amazing lineup! |
| 591s | And last but definitely not least, let’s talk about events! |
| 595s | A brand-new event, The Headliner’s Tour, is starting today, |
| 599s | where players can choose one of three different concerts to attend. |
| 602s | Each one has their own unique rewards track, |
| 605s | full of cosmetics and packs |
| 606s | themed around the classes and genres that belong in that concert group. |
| 610s | Once the event is complete, any cosmetics you didn’t get |
| 613s | will become available at different points in the shop, |
| 616s | including those from the other two concert groups you didn’t choose. |
| 619s | We will also have another event coming |
| 621s | to celebrate the launch of the Festival of Legends expansion |
| 624s | and you can find more information on card reveals |
| 626s | leading up to the launch on our website. |
| 628s | And just like that, the show has come to a close. |
| 632s | Pre-purchase bundles for the Festival of Legends |
| 634s | are available today, |
| 635s | and remember, you can log in right now |
| 638s | to receive your free ETC, Band Manager card |
| 641s | and participate in the new event! |
| 643s | Thank you all so much, |
| 644s | and I hope to catch you in the front row of the Festival of Legends. |
