Magnets, Mechs, and SCIENCE are arriving in Hearthstone’s looming expansion - The Boomsday Project!

Featured on some of the Mechs in the set, Magnetic allows players to combine Mechs into massive mechanical monstrosities or play them as a standalone minion.

Hearthside Chat with Stephen Chang: Magnetic​

Flexibility on the battlefield is the primary goal of Magnetic. Players can choose to play Magnetic Mechs as standalone minions – to make their board wide to avoid single target removal and Silence – or build the biggest, baddest Mech this side of the Netherstorm by combining the Attack, Health, and card text of the Mechs being magnetized together.

Stephen also revealed four Magnetic cards coming in The Boomsday Project, one of which is Dr. Boom’s personal bodyguard: Zilliax! Zilliax is a Neutral Legendary Mech with the keywords (deep breath) Magnetic, Divine Shield, Taunt, Lifesteal, and Rush! This Legendary Mech adds a TON of utility when combined with another Mech.

What is The Boomsday Project?
Experiments abound in The Boomsday Project, the upcoming expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s smash-hit digital card game Hearthstone. On August 7, the infamous Dr. Boom will unleash his delightfully irresponsible experiments upon players in the form of 135 zany cards and a slew of mischievous new gameplay mechanics.

Players can pre-purchase The Boomsday Project card packs in a 50-pack bundle for a special one-time price of $49.99 and receive a random Golden Legendary card alongside the Mecha-Jaraxxus card back. Dr. Boom is also offering the Mega Bundle for $79.99, which includes an extra 30 packs, the Mecha-Jaraxxus Warlock Hero, in addition to a random Golden Legendary Card and the Mecha-Jaraxxus card back! Players can purchase one or both bundles before the set is released on August 7.
