The Echoes of the Infinite Mini-Set has arrived in Hearthstone, expanding the game’s current time-travel storyline with a focused batch of new cards and mechanics. Released on January 13, the mini-set introduces 38 additional cards that continue the conflict first established in Across the Timeways. The narrative centers on a final confrontation between the Bronze Dragonflight and the Infinite Dragonflight at End Time, a setting framed as the point where multiple timelines collide and are resolved.
Rather than positioning itself as a full expansion, Echoes of the Infinite functions as a targeted design update. The cards lean heavily into time manipulation as a gameplay concept, reinforcing Hearthstone’s ongoing interest in revisiting and remixing older mechanics. One of the most notable additions is Rewind, a keyword that allows players to reroll the random effect of the most recently played card. In standard use, this provides a controlled way to mitigate randomness, while the character Morchie modifies the effect by preserving both outcomes, effectively doubling the result. The design highlights a deliberate tension between predictability and chaos, which has long been central to Hearthstone’s identity.
The mini-set also experiments with unconventional dual-class combinations. Pairings such as Mage and Warrior or Druid and Demon Hunter break from the game’s usual class boundaries, creating card interactions that would not normally coexist. These combinations are presented as a consequence of the storyline’s “chrono-crisis,” but from a gameplay perspective, they offer new deck-building puzzles and potential balance challenges.
Several returning mechanics have also been reintroduced or adapted. Death Knight and Rogue receive new ways to modify their Hero Powers through Imbue effects, while Priest, Paladin, and Hunter gain access to Dark Gifts. Quest mechanics return for Hunter and Warlock, and Rogue receives additional tools to replay or re-trigger actions through timeline-based effects. These elements are designed to appeal to long-time players familiar with Hearthstone’s mechanical history, while remaining accessible to newer audiences.
The Echoes of the Infinite Mini-Set is available in two purchase options. The standard version is priced at $14.99 USD or 2,000 in-game Gold. A Golden version is offered at $69.99 USD or 10,000 Gold and includes a Diamond copy of the Endtime Murozond Legendary minion. As with previous mini-sets, this release reflects a broader strategy by Hearthstoneto deliver smaller, more frequent content updates that extend an expansion’s lifecycle without introducing a full reset.
