Hearthstone's "Year of the Multi-Headed Snake" is about to kick off, and the Explorers Guild is all back to standard

Hearthstone held a launch of the new version in the early hours of April 6, announcing that the next Hearthstone year would be the Year of the Multi-Headed Snake. The Year of the Multi-Headed Snake will officially kick off on April 13, and in addition to bringing a new expansion package "Exploring the Sunken City", the designers have also updated the core collection for 2022. As can be seen from the official announcement, their focus this year is not on adding new game modes, but on improving the existing system.

The Core Series is a free card for all players, helping new and existing players quickly build decks and adjust the core cards of the game more flexibly. Last year's core series is actually not high usage, after all, the official is also the first time to explore the design of the core series, in addition to a few new versions of the dragon card, the core series did not bring too many surprises. Especially in the "modern Hearthstone" era of Stormwind City, many of the core series of cards could not enter the construction for a whole year.

However, this time the core series has changed a lot, not only bringing back classic cards such as the Explorers Guild and the North County Fire Magician, but also expanding the card pool. The new Core Series has 250 cards, 1 more card per class and 10 more cards for neutral cards. On top of that, each class became a double orange card, the playability and building space naturally became larger, and the designers also strengthened some of the old cards, including Sara's once favorite blue baby dragon, and 3 weakened cards successfully retraced.

Basically, new players can assemble some strong decks just through the core series, unlike last year's core series, which is not necessarily enough to win by playing scripts in the pre-group card set. Sara thinks this is a good thing, after all, Hearthstone is now too expensive to enter the pit, and not every player is a double pre-order. Here's what I've summarized for the cards in the new core series of rotations, additions, and adjustments.
