Break the Rules in Escape from Violet Hold, Hearthstone’s Next Expansion

Hearthstone's next expansion, Escape from Violet Hold, launches on July 7 and introduces new mechanics that break core game rules, such as running duplicate Legendaries and drawing extra cards. The expansion features a prison break theme with characters like Vanessa VanCleef and Warden Maiev Shadowsong, and introduces new keywords like 'Prepare' and mechanics like 'Disguised' minions and 'Bribe' cards. Players can claim free cards and participate in a pre-release Tavern Brawl starting June 30.
