Hearthstone's third expansion in the Year of the Gryphon and overall 31st expansion is The Great Dark Beyond!
The release date for the expansion is Tuesday, November 5th most likely at 10am PST/ 1pm EST/ 19:00 CEST/ 18:00 BST.
When the demonic Burning Legion invaded their planet, the Draenei fled to the stars. Now, these “Exiled Ones” are being chased across the cosmos while they search for a new home. Build your own Starship, command the new Draenei minion type, and battle a demonic threat as you explore The Great Dark Beyond!
New Keyword: Starship - Fly around The Great Dark Beyond in a shiny new Starship! Throughout The Great Dark Beyond, you’ll find Starship Piece minions. When they die, their stats and effects get added to your in-progress Starship construction. When you’re ready, press the button and Launch your Starship directly onto the board for 5 Mana. You can stack as many pieces as you want before you launch—the sky’s the limit!
The Great Dark Beyond contains 145 new collectible cards.
A companion Miniset will be announced at a later date.
Uluu will only gain effects from cards in your current format (Standard, Wild, Arena, etc). (Source)
Uluu will NEVER gain two Choose One effects that both require a target. (Source)
Uluu is a gigantic, alien turtle that's so old and massive that an entire planetary ecosystem has developed on his back. Since he's not a regular ol' planet, he has no orbit and drifts around space however he sees fit! 🪐🐢✨ (Source)

Build a Starship by collecting and combining Starship Piece minions. When they die, their stats and effects are added to your Starship. For 5 Mana, launch your completed Starship onto the board, with unlimited stacking potential before launch.
Once the location is on the board, it does nothing (for now).
After you cast a spell while it's on board, the Spellburst triggers, and now the location will read "Cast X" where X is the spell that triggered the Spellburst.
Both uses of the location will recast THAT spell.
You will be able to pick the targets of the spell being cast by the location (targeted spells let you pick the target, Discovers let you choose the card, etc).
Click HERE to see the Stats for this card! (Displayed average values are for ONE 1-Cost minion.) (These stats show an amount of relevant cards, average mana, health, and attack values and their frequency graphs.)
Playing KJ removes your deck, replaced by a green portal.
Each draw pulls a random Demon from the portal.
Demons in the portal gain +2/+2 each turn, those in hand or on board do not.
The portal prevents fatigue naturally, and putting or swapping cards inside has no effect, you'll only draw Demons.
Cards like Tracking will work, allowing to see 3 random Demons, and specific draw effects work as well if a fitting Demon exists.
Your deck size remains 30 while you have the portal, so no shenanigans with KJ + Fanottem are allowed.
Demons from the portal are random, hence they can be from any class or neutral.
If Player A has a normal deck and Player B has a portal, and either player plays a swap-deck card, then Player A will now have the portal (with the visual) and Player B will have the normal deck. (Source)

Anybody can build a Starship, but six classes in The Great Dark Beyond have dedicated Starship cards: Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock. Each of those classes has a unique name and art for their Starship, representing their role in The Great Dark Beyond.

Very cool designs, awesome theme and cool ideas. The creativity is on top here. I don't think these are very strong cards in generel, but that does not matter.

With all cards revealed my opinion is that this is a underwhelming set in card quality, pretty cool theme, some interesting ideas but most are very cluncky and too slow for the metagame, spellburst is by design a bad keyword because you wont be taking advantage of it on curve outside some excepions (rogue for the most part), big body on slow dormant stasis is terrible unless it has some upside effect while dormant, the starship pieces are bad stats for their costs and wont impact the field at all when played and you will probably fall behind and find no good turn to launch the starship itself trying to answer the board which makes the starship a win more that is hard to secure since you are mostly playing from behind, the librams and elementals may be the saving grace on this set since elementals are already a playable archetype obtaining extra tools and librams can play free spells and we have the core set legenday Liadrin that synergizes well with them.

Posted Oct 15, 2024 (Renathal Core Set)I believe you can get every legendary signature card in packs or am I wrong?
