With the launch of the Voyage to the Sunken City comes a new Rewards Track with tons of cosmetics, XP boosts, packs, and a treasure trove of Gold! Check out our Rewards Track Refresh blog for all the details.
When Voyage to the Sunken City goes live on April 12, we will enter the next Hearthstone Year: the Year of the Hydra!

Some of the cards from the Core Set will also be replaced.
