Hearthstone: Forged in the Barrens is set to launch in just a few weeks. The game's latest expansion will do more than add 135 new cards to the existing game, it's set to mark the beginning of the new Standard season. The Year of the Gryphon promises to be the most exciting in Hearthstone's history and a major component of it involves these new expansion cards.
Blizzard got a bit of a late start in revealing the new Forged in the Barrens expansion cards, but they're quickly making up for lost time. New cards are being unveiled left and right and Shacknews is endeavoring to keep up. We have the full list of new cards listed below, so start thinking about how to implement them in your decks now. (And brush up on the new Core set while you're at it.)
New keyword: Frenzy
Minions with the Frenzy keyword will unleash a powerful effect if they survive damage the first time.
