If you're a devoted follower of Hearthstone, Blizzard's hit World of Warcraft-themed card battler, then you'll be thrilled to know that not only is Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature set to go live on April 29th, but the new Embers of the World Tree mini set will also be available starting May 13th. These updates promise to bring exciting new elements to your gameplay, mixing up your matches with new minions, card types, and other intriguing additions.
The theme of Embers of the World Tree revolves around the Druids of the Flame attacking this ancient monument. Both they and the Dream Defenders opposing them will introduce new Imbue and Dark Gifts mechanics, with the Druids wielding Fire Magic to ignite your opponents. The highlight of the mini set is the introduction of Smouldering Cards. These new additions to the Hearthstone lineup grow stronger the longer they remain in your hand, but be cautious—not holding onto them too long is key, as they'll eventually flame out and disappear. Strategic planning will be essential to maximize their value.

Moving on to Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature, the update brings back Trinkets, offering passive power-ups on Turn 6 and Turn 9 for lesser and greater trinkets, respectively. Players can now harness the power of the wilds with two new heroes: Cenarius and Buttons. Additionally, the minion pool will be enriched with over 75 new and returning characters and Tavern spells. The Season 10 Battlegrounds Track also includes a variety of new themed cosmetics for those looking to complete their collections.
