Hearthstone's new expansion, The Great Dark Beyond, is now live! This expansion includes 145 new cards, and some of them feature the Starship keyword plus Draenei minion type.
Hearthstone: The Great Dark Beyond expansion now live
Released on Nov. 5, this new Hearthstone expansion is centered around the theme of space exploration. Therefore, it makes sense that The Great Dark Beyond gets the Starship keyword. According to Blizzard, you can play Starship Pieces like regular minions. A few examples of cards with the Starship Piece keyword are The Gravitational Displacer, Guiding Figure, and Arkonite Defense Crystal. When these minions die, their effects and stats get added to your Starship's construction.
"Each of the six classes with Starship cards (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Rogue, and Warlock) have their own iconic Starship visual appearance and name, but every class is welcome on The Exile’s Hope," Blizzard explained.
Draenei enter new Hearthstone expansion
Although Draenei aren't new to Hearthstone, this is the first time we're seeing Draenei as a minion type. Examples of cards with this new and permanent minion type include Unyielding Vindicator, Askara, and none other than Velen, Leader of the Exiled.

The Great Dark Beyond cards in Hearthstone
As for more The Great Dark Beyond cards, there are also new ones that reference the Burning Legion. For example, a couple of Warlock cards are Foreboding Flame and Archimonde. Meanwhile, Kil'jaeden is a neutral card that can be played by any Hearthstone class. Those who are knowledgeable about Velen's lore from the World of Warcraft universe would be familiar with Kil'jaeden and Archimonde as well!
The rest of the new Hearthstone cards can be viewed in Blizzard's official library for them.
