Hearthstone: Blackrock Mountain Expansion Card Preview: Check Out Five Of The New Minions Arriving This April [VIDEO]

We are now in the build-up phase to Blackrock Mountain, the next adventure for Blizzard's CCG Hearthstone. As such, we get the agonizingly slow roll out of the major cards coming to the Tavern.

Revealed at PAX East this weekend, Blackrock Mountain will be a fiery expansion with a focus on Dragons, a little used card type. The set, like Naxxramas before it, will take players across five separate wings of the World of Warcraft quest hub Blackrock Mountain. Acclaimed YouTuber Trump got a first look at five of the upcoming 31 new cards.

The video is great and accessible primer into the pros and cons of each card, with a description on what combos would work with which meta. The amount of knowledge locked up in the man's head is incredible.

However, if you don't want to sit and listen to Trump talk (which we don't recommend, he'll give you some great tips), the cards are below.

Finally, there's poor Rend Blackhand. Nobody likes this guy as presented, an 8/4 minion that costs 7 and will destroy another Legendary creature, so long as you have a Dragon card in your hand. We didn't like him in WoW, and we don't like him now. As Trump says, "you deserve better." Now, since Synergy is paramount to this set, there's no telling what Rend will play off of. But hey everyone, you too can have this card start collecting dust when you beat the first dungeon in Blackrock Mountain this April.

Check out Trump get into more detail below.
