    Hearthstone: League of Explorers is probably my favorite expansion yet for the game. I feel like Blizzard iterates for every release, and I hope this isn't the end of the adventures to come, as I vastly prefer them to card-only expansions. Maybe next time we'll see even crazier mechanics, like the co-op fight that was only used once in a Tavern Brawl.

    The League of Explorers brings a nice small new mechanic, some fun bosses and a varied cardset to a game that’s growing stronger every day.

    A new, interesting and fun-filled adventure for Hearthstone. Fans of the game will spend some great time with the PVE content, and the new cards will surely impact the meta in still unpredictable ways.

    This isn’t just the best Hearthstone expansion to date, it's one of the best expansions I’ve had the pleasure to play for any game.

    The League of Explorers cards bring all new archetype decks for Hearthstone and is very fun to play.

Instead of fixing the cardsThis expansion to Hearthstone fails to fix the pressing issues that are at stake with the balance of the game. Instead of fixing the cards that already exist, Activision insists on adding more and more cards in the style of Dr. Boom. Until balance issues are resolved, these expansions will only serve one purpose - provide more cards to ensure microtransactions continue.… Full Review »

This is overwhelmingly the best expansion yet in Hearthstone. From Reno, to discover, and even the surprisingly effective Elise Starseeker, League of Explorers provides some really fun cards while still affecting the meta enough to keep the game feeling fresh.

    As someone who enjoys priest, I found this expansion to be particularly amazing. If any priest mains out there are trying to decide whether or not they want League of Explorers, they definitely should. Museum Curator and Entomb finally give priests a fighting chance against many of the other control decks out there without having to run the clunky mind control.    … Full Review »
