Unfortunately, Medivh's gone missing and general chaos has broken out. It's up to you to use your card skills to defeat foes, find Medivh and set things right so the party can get going!

Ben Brode, the lead designer of Hearthstone, earlier presented the details of the new adventure at Chinajoy Expo in Shanghai. He explained that there are a total of 45 new cards to be won in the adventure, a few of which he revealed todaysuch asthe 'Enchanted Raven' druid card, a 1 mana, 2/2 beast and a 7 mana mage card, 'Fireland Portal', which deals 5 damage and summons a random 5-cost minion.
