Here’s a brand new legendary Hearthstone card

Blizzard has given us a brand new, legendary card from the upcoming expansion Kobolds and Catacombs to show off. So, without further ado, here it is.

Meet Temporus, a beefy new seven mana Dragon with an eye-catching card effect.

Hearthstone has never had a card like this before. Taking two turns at once opens up all kinds of possibilities, especially during the mid-to-late game when Temporus would be played.

You get two turns – two rounds of setting up cards and two lots of spending your mana. But then so does your opponent. It’s a huge risk/reward strategy, but if you can see a path to fatal…

World of Warcraft fans, you’ll recognise Temporus as a boss from the Caverns of Time dungeon. His name and origin are a good fit for his special power.

Kobolds and Catacombs arrives at some point next month, although you can already play with one legendary card from Hearthstone’s next set simply by logging in and picking it up.

Back at Gamescom I spoke with head honchos Eric Chu and Ben Brode on the future of Hearthstone and whether we might ever see it on Nintendo Switch.

And for more on Hearthstone, including Temporus, our sister site Metabomb has a detailed interview with Blizzard on how the card could be played.
