The Legendary Launch Quests will run as follows:

Day 2 – Play 5 Games in Play mode – Rewards: 1 Rise of Shadows card pack & 1 The Boomsday Project card pack.

Another bonus available to everyone is being able to add the new Archmage Vargoth card to your deck, simply by logging into the game before June 8.

The new Hearthstone expansion adds 135 new cards to the game, along with the new Lackeys, Schemes and Twinspells mechanics.

Other big events include the launch of the Year of the Dragon, which means other card sets no longer being available to buy from the store.

Here’s more information from Blizzard, who confirm: “The Year of The Dragon has begun, and we are waving a fond farewell to the Year of the Mammoth sets.

“You will no longer be able to purchase card packs from the Journey to Un’Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, and Kobolds & Catacombs expansions, and any cards from those expansions will no longer be playable in Standard game modes.

“In addition to the yearly set rotation, Rise of Shadow will introduce a regular rotation of available cards from both current and previous expansions to the Arena.

“To kick things off, the available cards will have a decidedly . . . Evil theme. Here’s which sets you’ll have access to when choosing cards in the Arena: Basic, Classic, Naxxramas, Whispers of the Old Gods, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, The Witchwood and Rise of Shadows.”
