As you know, the Hearthstone calendar ticks a little differently, so the current one ends Year of the octopus in April. With the release of the next expansion "Journey to Un'Goro", it will begin Year of the mammoth. The new era brings big changes for the standard format, the cards of the last 3 expansions (The Schwarzfels / The big tournament / The research league) rotate into wild format.

This rotation has been announced for some time and ensures that the standard format always remains modern and accessible. The entry hurdle, especially for new players, is significantly lower because there is no need to all Repurchasing card sets since Hearthstone was released. The smaller card selection makes it easier to create competitive decks and gives developers greater freedom in creating new cards.

The New Year celebrations began on March 15, with the first of three special card chaos variants. As a reward for a victory in each of the 3 special card chaos variants, a free card package beckons from "Journey to Un'Goro".

Card packages are not all that awaits us. With the new expansion you enter with Maiev shadow song a new heroine the Hearthstone stage. This villain skin is available for 10 wins, either in rated or unrated mode, after the release of "Journey to Un'Goro".
