Blizzard itself gives a brief summary of all the expected innovations as follows:
New minion type: Naga
- 16 new Naga minions
- The naga are a very magical servant type. They either grant spells with them or grow stronger as spells are played.
New keyword: Spellcraft
- Minions with the Spellcraft keyword grant a temporary spell each turn.
- Spellcraft spells leave the hand at end of turn. If they are not used, they will be lost!
- Spellcraft effects only last until the next recruitment phase.
- If there is no slot in hand, Spellcraft spells “wait” for a slot to become available instead of being destroyed or delayed one turn.
