Blizzard has announced a mini-set for HearthStone consisting of StarCraft themed cards:
"Early next year, Hearthstone is going beyond Warcraft and into... Heroes of StarCraft! This special Mini-Set will have a whopping 49 new cards across three themed factions, which show what the StarCraft universe would look like in the Hearthstone Tavern. Each faction is made up of cards that can be used across multiple classes, including an iconic Hero card.
Zerg
Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, and Warlock have joined the Zerg! Led by the formidable Sarah Kerrigan, they will have aggressive cards that win the game by swarming the board.
Protoss
Druid, Mage, Priest, and Rogue fight for the Protoss Empire. Led by the High Templar Artanis, they will have powerful, high-cost cards that are made cheaper throughout the game.
Terran
Paladin, Shaman, and Warrior make up the Terran forces, led by the one and only Jim Raynor. They will command Battlecruisers—a special take on the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond.
The Mini-Set will feature a slew of StarCraft units which are sure to invoke nostalgia, as well as the Terran-armored Murloc, Grunty, and new, thematic music. You can chart a course for the Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, launching in January 2025! More announcements, details, and card reveals are coming closer to launch. "

As an avid HS player, I have been asking for this for years. Still feels surreal.

Why? This won't make me wanna play the game again.

"Paladin, Shaman, and Warrior make up the Terran forces". What? That doesn't sound very Starcraft-like...

Don't know how well you know Hearthstone, but I would say the Class-to-Race Distribution is pretty spot on for this

Totally agree. Though when I last played 2-3 years ago, Warlock was definitely in the protoss camp. Those are the classes with the infuriating gimmicks.

Warlocks most iconic archtype/deck is Zoolock. So while Handlock might be more on the Protoss-side, Zoolock is 100% Zerg

I was gonna point that out. That's a big flavor no no.

Starcraft and Hearthstone Battlegrounds are the only games I still play daily. Although I haven't touched HS main game in years I'm definitely getting this set, just because of Starcraft.

As a Battlegrounds-only player, I'm excited to lose to Protoss bullshit in multiple games
