About This Game
The Argent Crusade originally convened the Grand Tournament to identify and prepare the greatest champions for the fight against the Lich King. That battle has been won, but the tournament continues—because it turns out that competing on the fields of Northrend against the world's most formidable knights, monsters, and mages is something people want to do regardless of whether civilizational survival requires it. The Grand Tournament expansion adds new Inspire mechanics, legendary jousting heroes, and the concept of Hero Power synergy to Hearthstone, framing the new card set within a competition that's as much about spectacle as victory.
