The Hearthstone Adventure Blackrock Mountain will go live starting April 2, Blizzard has announced.

In addition, Blackrock Mountain will add an all-new game board, new music and a host of legendary encounters and each class will get two new class cards.

Rollouts will begin on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android devices starting April 2 in the Americas region, which will fall on April 3 for the Southeast Asia and Oceania regions.
Since the last time we previewed the new Blackrock Mountain cards, Blizzard has released several more, which you can see below.
A new Hunter class card, the Core Rager is a four-cost 4/4 Beast with Battlecry: If your hand is empty, gain +3/+3. As if Face Hunter needed more help! If you’ve ever played an aggro Hunter deck before, you know it’s not that difficult to have an empty hand. A new Warlock class card is the Imp Gang Boss, a three-mana 2/4 Demon that reads: “Whenever this minion takes damage, summon a 1/1 Imp.”
One of the new Mage class cards is an interesting one. It’s called Dragon’s Breath and is a five-mana cost card that reads: “Deal 4 damage. Costs (1) less for each minion that died this turn.” Aggro Mage is already making a comeback thanks to Reynad’s newest, cheap deck, but we’re not entirely sure how valuable Dragon’s Breath will be for a mage. Keeping with that mechanic is a neutral Dragon called Volcanic Drake, a six-cost 6/4 that reads: “Costs (1) less for each minion that died this turn.”
The other Mage class card that has been revealed is Flamewalker, a three-mana 2/4 that reads “After you cast a spell, deal 2 damage randomly split among all enemies.” It’s a solid three drop and its effect definitely synergies well for a Mage that is looking to control the board. Another neutral card being added is the Blackwing Corruptor, a five-mana 5/4 with Battlecry: If you’re holding a Dragon, deal 3 damage. Another solid card for those looking to synergize a Dragon deck.
The Drakonid Crusher is a six-cost, 6/6 Dragon with Battlecry: If your opponent has 15 or less Health, gain +3/+3. Lastly there’s a new Legendary with an awesome mechanic. Nefarian, the nine-mana 8/8 Dragon will have Battlecry: Add 2 random spells to your hand (from your opponent’s class). Imagine the luck you can get – such as a Force Roar combo off a Druid, or a Pyroblast from a Mage… or Unstable Portals that gets you another Nefarian. The possibilities with Nefarian are going to be huge and we can’t wait to see it in action.
