Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 10: New Embers of the World Mini Set Arrives Soon

For dedicated *Hearthstone* fans, the arrival of Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature on April 29th is already a reason to celebrate—but that’s not all. Just around the corner on May 13th comes the Embers of the World Tree mini set, bringing fresh mechanics, new minions, and exciting gameplay twists to keep your matches dynamic and engaging.

If you're hooked on Blizzard’s popular *World of Warcraft*-inspired card battler, you’ll be thrilled to know both major updates are coming soon. Let’s dive into what each has to offer.

Embers of the World Tree Mini Set

The theme centers around the Druids of the Flame launching an assault on the ancient World Tree, clashing with the Dream Defenders who stand in their way. Both factions introduce new Imbue and Dark Gifts, giving players more strategic depth and unique ways to influence the battlefield. The Druids bring fire magic into play, letting you unleash powerful flames to overwhelm your opponents.

Smouldering Cards – A New Gameplay Mechanic

The standout feature of this mini set is the introduction of Smouldering cards. These fiery newcomers gain strength the longer they stay in your hand, offering increasing rewards over time. However, there's a catch—if you hold onto them too long, they'll burn out completely and vanish from your hand. This mechanic demands careful planning and timing to get the most value from every turn.

Battlegrounds Season 10: Second Nature

While the mini set brings new cards, Battlegrounds Season 10 introduces meaningful enhancements to the auto-battler mode. Trinkets make a triumphant return, offering passive power boosts on Turn 6 (lesser trinket) and Turn 9 (greater trinket), adding another layer of strategy to deck building and progression.

Two brand-new heroes join the fray—Cenarius and Buttons—each bringing their own distinct abilities to the table. Whether you prefer aggressive plays or defensive mastery, these heroes open up fresh strategies for competitive players and casuals alike.

Expanded Minion Pool and Tavern Spells

Season 10 also features over 75 new and returning minions, alongside updated Tavern spells that diversify your options and shake up standard builds. With such a wide pool of units, no two games will ever feel the same.

Themed Cosmetics for Collectors

As always, the Battlegrounds Track includes a variety of themed cosmetics tailored to the season’s aesthetic. For collectors and completionists, this is yet another incentive to climb the ranks and earn those exclusive rewards.
