After the catastrophic and dooming events of my previous expansion, The Dawning Cataclysms, I feel that we all need a detour from the tense atmosphere, and instead of cries and screams, its cheers and ovations.
Let's clear the curtains, and welcome to the Goodwills Orchestra!
This expansion marks the second one in my still in progress hearthstone year, the Year of the Angler. Such charming notes that lure whoever listens to them into the maw of the act...
Instrumental to Go!
Goodwills Orchestra features the new keyword, Score. Music isn't always the same tone or intensity, and not all songs are played the same way, and thus you oughta keep the beat up to gain all of their perks. When someone goes off-sync or off-chord, unfortunately for most musicians it means starting all over again.
Examples of a triggered Score and an ongoing Score, respectively.
Scores don’t have to be completed in one turn, they keep the progress, however their progress will reset if the cards are not played in order, keep it all in sync!
Elusive will also be keyworded, as it should be, a good number of cards in this expansion contain this keyword, and I needed the space.
Never-Forever Songs
The beat may not last forever, but its impact will always remain remembered by the people.
Some cards in this expansion will feature “temporary cards” which will be discarded at the end of your turn if they haven’t been used; sometimes replenishable, these musicians are under your directions, so lead them appropriately.
Moving Inspirations
Oh marvelous minds have arrived, of great variety and types!
Each class will get their own musician associated to their respective theme, inspired by people or things in the music industry throghout its entire existance, these will be represented by their own Hero Cards.
Without further ado, let the show begin!
