Happy New Year! At least in the Hearthstone Calendar begins with the publication of The Witch forest on April 12th 7:00 pm the year of the raven.
The expansion brings 135 new cards, 2 new keywords / mechanics Zeal and Echo, as well as legendary cards that reward deck building around even or odd cards.

In addition to the 3 formats, strong individual cards also migrate to the wild format:
- Ice block
- Depth light oracle
- Molten giant
With Lunara a new druid heroine comes into play. To unlock these, you need 10 wins in rated or non-rated mode.
The patch also changes the daily quests:
