Hearthstone’s next expansion is Kobolds & Catacombs, and it will be with us in December. It introduces the classic Warcraft staple of loot to the game, which is provided through the use of several special cards. We’ve got details on all 135 new cards below.
Can Blizzard fix the problems holding Hearthstone back?
Kobolds and Catacombs release date
Kobolds and Catacombs will launch on December 7 in NA, December 8 in EU. Hooray for regions.

You’ll get three card packs for logging in, as well as a Legendary Weapon. There’ll also be a set of daily quests to do the new Dungeon Run mode, each rewarding a pack.
Kobolds and Catacombs livestream
The final card reveal for Kobolds and Catcombs went down on December 4. You can watch an archive here:
A first set reveal livestream happened on Monday, November 20, revealing some cards for each class before kicking into the main spoiler season lasting for another couple of weeks. Here’s the embed:
Kobolds and Catacombs card back
As with all expansions, K&C has its own card back for pre-ordering, something you can do right now if you’re feeling like it.
Kobolds and Catacombs cards
Alright, onto the business end of this. There are a few classes of cards you’ll want to know about before reading further.
- Spellstones – this new type of card is upgraded the longer it stays in your hand and you fulfil certain conditions.
- Recruit – a new keyword that means take a minion from your deck and put it on to the battlefield. Usually comes with a rider like a minion type or cost limitation.
- Legendary Weapons -every class is getting one of these for the expansion, including those who don’t normally have weapons as part of their class. You’ll get one for free just for logging in to the expansion too.
- In addition, a large number of cards in this expansion have different forms. These are all listed below the individual card.
Several cards have been revealed so far, and more will be revealed by Blizzard from November 20 onwards. For now, here’s every card we know of.
Kobolds and Catacombs Legendary Weapons
Given these are the headliners of the set, and you’ll be getting one for free, we’ll give these their own section.
Druid
Hunter
Mage
It’s also confirmed that Aluneth has voice lines when played, much like its World of Warcraft artifact version.
Paladin
Priest
The Dragon Soul and its token:
Rogue
Shaman
Warlock
Like Aluneth, the Skull of Man’ari is likely to have voice lines as well.
Warrior
You may note that both Woecleaver and the Runespear are eight-mana 3/3s, which is a bit of a curious stat line. We asked senior designerPeter Whalen about this, who says:
“There isn’t any special significance to that stat line. In both cases, these weapons have effects that are very powerful and more appropriate for late game. We wanted to spread the effect out over multiple turns, so the 3 durability made sense and we wanted most of the power to be in the ability rather than the attack value, so 3 attack made sense as well. Both of these cards are ones we played a bunch and iterated on, so those values changed a bit over time.”
Now, on to the other cards.
