incoming<\/u><\/a> back in November 2024, but now we&#8217;ve got a first look at the cards. As expected, the Zerg look to be a brutally efficient board swarm archetype. The Zergling minion will also benefit hard from hand buffing effects. Meanwhile, Protoss is the Mana cheat\u2014no surprise it contains the Druid and Rogue classes\u2014with an emphasis on playing expensive minions that pack a big punch. Finally, Terrans are the all-rounders, with a Mech theme for flavour and new Starship cards to play with.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard also announced a release date and pricing: Heroes of StarCraft will launch on January 21, and will be available for $20 or 2,500 gold\u2014or if you&#8217;re the mood to drop some big bucks, you can snag an All-Golden version of the Mini-Set for $80 or 12,000 gold.
