Maiden Voyage of the Exodar: A Custom Hearthstone Expansion!
"Climb aboard, for the greatest vacation in the universe!"
Once a grand vessel for the Draenei, this dimensional ship suffered a crash and lay dormant for centuries. It used to function as the home of the Draenei, but ever since their relocation the ship has sat there, empty...until now!
Rebuilt and refurbished into a wonderful cruise ship prepared to give its guests a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journey to their destintations!
What destination you may ask? Well, that's where you come in! Ten lucky guests who received our special tickets at random will be able to choose a destination from our wonderful selection.
So pack your things and prepare for adventure and wonder as we embark on the Maiden Voyage of the Exodar!
Expansion Mechanics:
- Warped: Like a reverse Dormant, this keyword gives the cards a 'count' which causes them to die after the number of turns specified on their text expires. Also like Dormant, the counts will begin at the start of their controlling player's turns, but taking place after any Start of Turn effects.
- Travellers: The 'class cycle' of the expansion similar to Schemes or Projects. These are among the many guests on the Exodar, excited to see what adventures its destinations have to offer. But like most vacationers, they never leave home unprepared! All of these will draw a spell when played, and have an additional effect depending on its Cost, allowing for some strategy during deckbuilding.
The Cards:
(Author's Note: Formatting might get a bit tight with how I uploaded these, so I have included imgur albums with the individual cards. Just click on the class name to get their corresponding album!)
Mage:
Neutral Cards
All journeys have their potential dangers, and travelling through the void of space is certainly no exception! But do not worry, dear guests. Our staff members are trained not only for your enjoyment, but for your protection! So sit back, relax, and enjoy everything this cruise, and this galaxy, has to offer!
Note: The class borders are simply for flavor and do not affect which choices the player will get when they play Astra. Players will always get a choice from three of these ten cards.
Bonus Stuff
With all Blizzard expansion releases come a plethora of bonuses! Here are my takes on how those would be should this expansion be 'a real thing'
Preodrer Bonus: Yrel Paladin Hero Skin and 'Lightforged' Cardback (Already in game, but does fit Yrel thematically)
Celstial Coin: Awarded to Players who have at least one copy of every card in Maiden Voyage of the Exodar set!
Battlegrounds Heroes: Space travel takes a long time, so some of our guests (and a staff member!) Have joined the Battlegrounds to entertain themselves on our journey.
Final Author Notes
Well I hope you enjoyed the Maiden Voyage of the Exodar! I've been working on this project off and on with fellow designer Mega-Pixel over the last few months. Huge thanks to them and their design of the Logo as well as a ton of cards on here.
Space-based expansions are a rare sight, and I wanted to go for a unique theme rather than Mechs and Sci-fi. Hopefully everyone reading this enjoyed everything it had to offer and found some cards they wish were in the game. Stay tuned as Mega-Pixel and I are working on a mini-set similar to Darkmoon Races.
If you do like the cards, you can also check out another Expansion Mega-Pixel and I collaborated on: Crusade of Light

Hi OP,
This looks wonderful and I admire the work and effort you must have put into creating this set and everything around it! (coin, BG heros, Pala hero)
I believe the power level of the whole set is a little bit too much for my taste, but observing the power creep that has been going on for some time now, I think in like 2-3 years we can get something on the same level of power/balance printed by Blizzard.
Could you please explain the idea behind spell dmg = 3 ? Does it intend to mean "all spells deal 3 dmg" or rather "all spells have spell dmg +3, and no other spell dmg modyficators work" ?
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoy it! I do understand that a lot of the cards are quite powerful, but it is like you said with Blizzard increasing the base power level of cards, and I am just trying my best to keep up.
As far as Delta Elemental goes, your first assumption is correct, where all spells deal 3 damage and any spell that has a modifier to it set to 3.
Hi, Zozoth, first i want to applaud your effort putting it all together well done! :)
Druid
Hunter
Mage
Paladin
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warlock
Warrior
Are you giving each class a "call back card" to previous mechanics or are those "random"? Iv notice a Shrine for Warrior, Hero Card for Shaman, not-Echo for Priest :)
Anyway, good job and hope to see more from you! ;-)

Really enjoyed the keyword and the twist that some legendaries you created.
Hope we can see more of your work someday.
