Hoorah! The Rulebreakers have escaped from the Violet Hold, but how did they get arrested in the first place? Escape from Violet Hold Class Set: Azeroth's Most Wanted introduces new Class Sets for Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior, each telling the tale of how one of Azeroth's most infamous criminals was caught and sent to Dalaran's maximum-security prison.
These outlaw origin stories act as a prequel to Escape from Violet Hold, with four outlaws looking back on the schemes, betrayals, ghost hunts, and sieges that landed them behind bars in the first place.
Each Class Set features seven cohesive cards that tell the story of an outlaw and their pursuer. You'll infiltrate criminal organizations, rig a trial, chase a ghost through the Witchwood, and storm Shadowfang Keep. Together, the four Class Sets include 28 unique cards. Get all four sets in a bundle and you'll also receive a bonus Epic Neutral card, bringing the total to 29 unique cards.
For the first time in Hearthstone, Mathias Shaw, leader of SI:7, steps out of the shadows and onto a card. Shaw and his network of spies infiltrated the Defias Brotherhood to bring Vanessa VanCleef to justice. The Rogue Class Set leans into stealthy gameplay, sneaky synergies, and a flexible new Disguised minion that can be played on either side of the battlefield.
Kazakus returns with his signature ability to craft a custom card, now with a devious new spin. In this story, the Gadgetzan gang leader double-crossed Aya Blackpaw during a heist, set her up to take the fall, and rigged the trial against her. The Warlock Class Set lets you sneak Imp-formants into the enemy deck, plant evidence, craft a custom sham trial, and send your opponent to jail!
Famed ghost hunter Raith Van Geist tracked down Azalina Soulthief through a haunted mansion in the Witchwood. The Priest Class Set summons endless waves of Reborn and Deathrattle minions, overwhelming the board with spirits that just won't stay down.
Darius Crowley had long sought to bring the notorious Lord Godfrey to justice, and hired a crew of pirates to lay siege to Shadowfang Keep and take his old foe into custody. The Warrior Class Set commands armies of pirate cannoneers ready to breach the walls. Ready, aim, fire!
The Azeroth's Most Wanted Class Sets spotlight Rogue, Warlock, Priest and Warrior. Each Class Set delivers 7 unique cards: 1 Legendary, 2 Epics, 2 Rares, and 2 Commons. With full playsets of Epics, Rares, and Commons, that's 13 cards per Class Set and 52 total cards across all four.
Class Sets can be purchased individually or as a bundle using Gold or real money. Available purchase options vary by region.
Azeroth's Most Wanted Class Set cards can also be opened in Escape from Violet Hold packs or crafted with dust, including the Wanted Poster bonus card.
The Azeroth's Most Wanted Class Sets for Rogue, Warlock, Priest, or Warrior release with Patch 36.4 on August 25 at 10:00 a.m. PDT.
Remember, each expansion this year will be followed by the release of four new Class Sets.
The rest of the Azeroth's Most Wanted Class Set cards are being revealed tomorrow in our Developer Reveal Video! Tune in on August 19 at 10:00 a.m. PDT as the Hearthstone Design Team unveils every remaining card and shows how each Class Set works together.
