Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior Class Sets Announced in "Azeroth's Most Wanted" - Sets Release August 25

Along with the new patch that rolled out today, Blizzard has also given us a first look at the second batch of class sets for this year. This time we've got one for Priest, one for Rogue, one for Warlock, and one for Warrior.

There are seven cards per class (one Legendary, and two of each other rarity), plus one Neutral Epic, for a total of 29 cards. Today is only a tiny look at the class sets, but we're getting the entire collection revealed tomorrow, and they'll be available to play starting August 25.

All four sets can be purchased altogether for $19.99 USD for the normal packs, or $79.99 for the Golden packs. Single class sets can also be purchased individually for $9.99 USD. If you're not from the US, you can type these amounts into your search engine to translate the amount to your local currency.

Quote From Blizzard Entertainment

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.

Rogue Class Set

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.

Warlock Class Set

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!

Priest Class Set

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. ‌

Warrior Class Set

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! ‌

  • Ive seen all the leaked cards of the miniset, but again its not looking good. Team5's design team have been moving away from the tried and tested design strat ever since last year so its not unexpected but it doesnt exactly make me wanna spend resources on this.

    I suppose its a good thing nowadays. Been trying to hold back on expenditure for a while now.

    So my own take of the minisets

    ......Betting that only Godfather Kazakus sees actual competitive play. Its the only card that is playable outside of specific synergies.

    .....Crowley and Van Geist are just from the same mould as companion hunter and leyline mage. If even one card from that set doesnt work its probably not good enough competitively. And Im certainly getting that vibe with these set of cards. Cannon warrior is not merely too slow, you can legit be destroyed by tempo decks if you miss out your curve. As for priest, the only thing that has me interested is that Van Geist can bring back Sol'etos. Other than that, its again, too slow to actually do anything useful. Your opponent either ignores or just fuck you over as you maneuver your supertanker to get anywhere.

    .....Stealth rogue is interesting because its uninteractable and two-bit rogue basically just got nerfed to oblivion. But its a bit like SI7 rogue back in stormwind. Its good but no one wants to play it because its insipit. And you can bet the moment this deck is good it'll be nerfed to the ground because its not interactive.

    I prob end up just getting the commons off packs and crafting kazakus. The rest are simply not interesting enough, but thats basically the theme with hearthstone ever since this new design strat came along. Lowering the powerlevel of the overall game only worked for like two out of the last 7 expansions, and most other cases is just decks that are either not interesting or just not good

  • 4 more sets during the third expansion? New class this year, or is one class getting two sets?

    Friendly
    • They mentioned earlier this year that Death Knight is getting two class sets this year instead of one, although it is a bit weird that they didn't spread them out to release one now and one later.

      My hope is that the second set of the year is for them to work around the Rune system. My belief is that it'll amount to absolutely nothing in that regard.

      • I think I remember something like that. I don't know if both DK sets were originally in the third expansion of the year, but if they are both releasing at the same time, then how is that not just a bigger DK set?

        Friendly
    • That's a great question! Could just be a mistake and they meant 3 class sets. I can't imagine them giving any class an extra set, so maybe a new class?

      • Seeing as it's in the graphic too, I'd think somebody would've caught it before it got published if it were a mistake.
