Time travel and dual-class cards? Hearthstone's new update is wild

The new Hearthstone Mini-Set is out now. Here is what you need to know about the 38 new cards, the Rewind mechanic, and how much it costs in the UAE.

Hearthstone players, it’s time to dive into the new Echoes of the Infinite Mini-Set and its 38 new cards, which launched to fix the timeline—or break it completely. According to Blizzard Entertainment's press release, the update launched on 13 January and concludes the story arc that began in Across the Timeways.

This isn’t a full expansion, but a focused injection of cards designed to shake up the meta. If you have been following the narrative, this is the big showdown between the Bronze and Infinite Dragonflights. For everyone else, it means new mechanics that look set to cause chaos in standard play. While other studios deal with Ubisoft’s layoffs and restructuring, Blizzard is sticking to its steady content schedule with this release.

Echoes of the Infinite Mini-Set: What New Cards & Mechanics You Get

Unveiling Hearthstone's New Rewind Mechanic and Card Rarity

The Mini-Set includes 38 unique cards: 4 Legendary, 1 Epic, 17 Rare, and 16 Common. The standout addition is the new "Rewind" mechanic. This lets you reroll the random effect of the card you just played. It’s a gambler’s dream—or nightmare, depending on your RNG luck.

Revolutionary Dual-Class Card Combinations

Blizzard also introduced dual-class combinations that we haven’t seen before. The chrono-crisis theme allows for strange pairings like Mage with Warrior or Druid with Demon Hunter. These combinations often open up deck archetypes that weren’t possible previously.

New Mechanic: Rewind (reroll random effects)
New Cards: 38 total (includes 4 Legendaries)
Theme: Time travel and dual-class mixes
Key Card: Diamond Endtime Murozond (in Golden set)

Echoes of the Infinite Mini-Set: Pricing and Purchase Options in UAE

Standard and Golden Mini-Set Prices in UAE

As usual with Hearthstone, you can buy the set with real money or in-game Gold. For players in the UAE, the pricing generally follows the US store structure unless you are using a specific regional account.

The normal version costs $14.99 (about Dhs 55) or 2,000 Gold. This gets you the full 66-card set (including duplicates of non-legendaries to make them playable). If you want to show off, the all-Golden version costs $69.99 (about Dhs 257) or 10,000 Gold and includes a bonus Diamond Legendary, such as the highly anticipated Diamond Endtime Murozond.

Is the Mini-Set a Good Value: Gold vs. Real Money

Is it worth it? If you play regularly, 2,000 Gold is a reasonable ask for 4 assured Legendaries. Paying cash is harder to justify unless you are catching up, especially compared to buying full games or even checking out other media like the upcoming God of War series.

Echoes of the Infinite Mini-Set: Is It Worth Buying?

The dual-class cards are the main draw here. They historically have a high impact on the meta because they offer tools classes don’t usually have access to. If you have the Gold saved up, it is an easy buy. If you are paying cash, make sure you actually play the classes that benefit most from the new combinations.
