With the upcoming expansion, a new Champion is joining the Targon roster: Taric, the Shield of Valoran.

New Mechanic: Spellshield

Each extension has its own keyword. The one from Call of the Mountain is called Spellshield, and allows a minion to counter an opposing skill or spell that targets him.

New type of cards: Gems

A new type of card, the Gem, is a spell that can heal 1 HP and give + 1 ATT to an allied minion. However, we don't know if this card will be a "full" one or if it will be generated by cards like Mentor of the Stones or Mountain Goat. In addition, no information was revealed regarding Gem variants.
