Cards in the expansion will be marked with an icon designating their Terran, Protoss, or Zerg affiliation, but they can be played in multiple classes. Zerg will focus on total aggrowhile the Protoss will focus on the high mana cost card game and the Earthlings will be able to build and launch battleships. Each faction will be led by a hero cardmeaning when played it will replace your current hero power.
