Across the Timeways Guide – New Hearthstone Expansion – Card Reveals, Release Date, New Mechanics, and More!

Click here to skip the guide and quickly jump to revealed cards!

It’s about time… literally. Hearthstone’s Across the Timeways expansion features a time-warping storyline that pulls Warcraft heroes from every era into one epic showdown. Bend time to your will with new keywords Fabled and Rewind, harnessing the power of the greatest warriors of all time and even rewinding cards to play them again.

At the heart of the expansion is Chromie, the Bronze Dragonflight’s ever-cheerful chronomancer and protector of the Timeways. She made the shocking discovery that Murozond, Lord of the Infinite, is trying to derail all timelines and send them towards oblivion. To stop him, Chromie raced across the timeways (yes, really) to recruit Fabled heroes from the past, future, and alternate realities. With a pre-banshee Sylvanas, a mech-piloting Gelbin, and the rest of her dream team of Warcraft icons assembled, Chromie is ready to rally against chrono crisis.

New Mechanic – Rewind

Hearthstone has always been famous – or maybe infamous – for its RNG. Even since the beginning, the matches were often decided by a lucky roll of an imaginary dice. Will that Ragnaros the Firelord hit the opponent for 8 damage and destroy their Hero, or maybe decide to squash a 1/1 insect instead, and then promtply get removed? But what if you had an opportunity to… just re-roll?

That’s where Rewind comes in. Cards with Rewind first play their effect, and then give you two options – you can either keep the current timeline or rewind it and go for another roll. If you keep the timeline – nothing else happens, you just save that outcome. However, if you decide to Rewind, the game is reset to the state from before you played the card.

The card above show two simple examples of the effect in action. Portal Vanguard draws a minion and gives it +2/+2. However, if you don’t like the minion it drew at first (for example, you want a minion with Handbuff synergy), you can Rewind and draw a card again. Same for Semi-Stable Portal. The card works exactly like the oldschool Unstable Portal, just with Rewind added in. So you can choose to keep the first minion you get… or re-roll it into another random minion.

Keep in mind that the Rewinded outcome CAN be the same as the original. In most cases it will be unlikely to get the same RNG, but it can happen. And of course, you always risk getting a worse outcome than the original one.

New Mechanic – Fabled

Fabled cards represent Heroes brought from different timelines by Chromie to help her fight against Nozdormu. They are all Legendary cards, and each class is going to get one.

To be more precise, it would probably be better to describe them as “card packages” instead of “cards”. When you add a Fabled card to your deck, it adds multiple cards instead. So far both of the Fabled cards we’ve seen will fill 3 card slots, but we don’t know if that will be the case for every one of them. So if you add one of them to your deck, you only have 27 more card slots left (unlike cards that shuffle extra things to your deck at the start of the match).

Fabled cards have strong synergies with each other. In case of Hunter’s Ranger General Sylvanas, each Windrunner sister gets stronger based whether you’ve played others already. Paladin’s Gelbin of Tomorrow plays Aura cards from your deck, and comes in a package with two strong Auras with Tradeable. This way you can stick them back to your deck in case you draw them before you can play him.
