Hearthstone's new mini-series is finally here! The designer secretly released a teaser picture with the words "Tomorrow" and a staff attached.
In this article, let's interpret this picture and see what the mini series may have!
Mini Series Theme: Bloody Abbey
The key message in the teaser is undoubtedly the staff, and the owner of this staff is naturally the key to the mini series. So, who does this staff belong to? The answer is Whitemeen! It was the orange card that replaced Sylvanas and Ragnaros in the Hearthstone classic card. Looking at the picture below, is the staff in Whitemaine's hand exactly the same as the staff in the teaser?
What does Whitemaine represent? Undoubtedly those two classic lines "Resurrection, my warrior" and "Fight for you, my lady" and the bloody abbey copy. Hearthstone's first two mini-series of the Year of the Griffin, The Cave of Wailing and The Mine of Death, are themed around classic quests from World of Warcraft. As a battlefield, there are no replicas inside the Otranc Valley, and the theme of the mini series naturally has to be sought from the outside. Located in the north of the Otranc Valley, the Blood Monastery, paved by the Knight Orange Card Blood Knight Saidan, is a good choice.
The Blood Abbey is one of the most classic dungeons in World of Warcraft, divided into four small quests, not only the equipment that bursts out is very practical, but the related plot and characters are also very plump, which is loved by players. In addition to whitemine and Raynaud, the "dog man and woman", there is also a plot related to the Ash Messenger, and the prototype dog trainer who closes the door to release the dog is also from the Blood Abbey copy. So, the feelings of this mini series are definitely full again!
The Red Crystal is coming?
In addition to the theme of the mini-series, there is another message in the trailer that has caught the attention of many old players. Whitemaine's staff has a red crystal in the center, and the hearthstone legendary mana crystal is only different in color, reminiscent of the Dragon Fight And Tiger Battle Gakisson version 5 years ago, the designer has mentioned the concept of red mana crystal.
In Hearthstone's Version of Gakissen, the original mechanism of the Dark Gold Cult was not the Cosmic System, but the Red Mana Crystal, and in the original painting of some cards, we can also see similar crystals appear. Hearthstone's designers had this in mind: The Red Mana Crystal is an upgraded version of the normal Blue Mana Crystal, which can be converted by a subset of cards, without any difference in use, but can be linked with other cards. For example, it is enhanced according to the number of red mana crystals, and the red mana crystal reaches a certain number to trigger a certain effect. It looked good, but this mechanism was not online at the time, but because the display problem on the mobile end was hidden.
Now, the red crystal on Whitemaine's staff appeared on the C position of the teaser, and coupled with the return of the Dark Gold Sect Leader Kazakus, it is difficult not to suspect that the red mana crystal that was hidden in the snow will be unbanned. To be honest, I was looking forward to this mechanism back then, and I'm still looking forward to it, a bit like the feeling of the Resource Cards in World of Warcraft cards and Magic, which may bring a lot of changes to the environment!
