Hearthstone has just unveiled exciting plans for the Year of the Pegasus, which includes a refresh to the Core set and the Whizbang’s Workshop expansion. Although the first card set of this Hearthstone year will be released on March 19, players can already log in and partake in some of the whimsical content.
2024 marks a significant milestone for Hearthstone as the beloved collectible card game celebrates its 10th year of live service. To mark this occasion, Hearthstone is ushering in the Year of the Pegasus with a bang, featuring celebratory events and gifts, a Core set refresh, and three new expansions throughout the year.
Recently, Hearthstone unveiled the first of these expansions. Named Whizbang’s Workshop, this 145-card set stars Whizbang, the master toymaker, in a collection brimming with the whimsy that Hearthstone is renowned for. The expansion introduces the new Miniaturize keyword, which adds a one-cost 1/1 copy of the minion when it is played, alongside iconic characters, mechanics, and references to some of Hearthstone’s most legendary cards. Whizbang’s Workshop will be released on March 19, with standard and Mega Bundles available for pre-purchase now.

A new Hearthstone year also means a new Core set. To celebrate the game’s 10-year anniversary, Hearthstone’s new Core set features the return of some classic cards, including Leeroy Jenkins, Fiery War Axe, and Justicar Trueheart. The Wrath of Air Totem, originally removed from the Shaman’s Hero Power a few years ago, is even returning to the rotation this year to truly capture the feeling of classic Hearthstone. Additionally, the Elusive keyword has been added to the game, although its ability to make minions unable to be targeted by spells or Hero Powers is something players will be familiar with from cards like Evasive Wyrm.
The new Core set will also include four brand-new cards inspired by Warcraft Rumble. Fans of the new Blizzard mobile game will recognize Gnomelia, S.A.F.E. Pilot, Warsong Grunt, Night Elf Huntress, and Footman, all of which have abilities inspired by their Warcraft Rumble Minis.
Currently, players can log into Hearthstone and acquire Colifero the Artist, a free Legendary who draws a minion and transforms one’s board into copies of it, as well as 12 free gift cards, including the Legendary Harth Stonebrew. Fans who pre-purchase Whizbang’s Workshop will also receive the Corridor Sleeper Epic card for immediate use. While Hearthstone may have to confront challenges eventually, this year is certainly not the time for it.
