Hearthstone turns 10 this year, which makes me feel both incredibly old and surprisingly emotional. Blizzard's card battler was the game I played every night when I moved to America in 2014, and I've never stopped since. It was my first digital CCG, and I spent almost every night for six weeks alone in a San Francisco apartment learning why casting Fireball on a Chillwind Yeti was not going to carry me to glory. What a time to be alive (and hard stuck at rank 16).
To celebrate the anniversary, Blizzard is leaning hard into a decade's worth of nostalgia. The first expansion of the year is called Whizbang's Workshop, and it's full of callbacks to some of the most popular card designs of the past. You can see everything revealed so far here, but today I'm here to talk Mage, and specifically spells.
