While we still wait for Hearthstone to reveal every TITANS expansion card, make sure you learn how the new Keyword Forge works.
TITANS is the new Hearthstone expansion, and with it comes the new Forge Keyword. Titans have the power of creation, and like them, in this upcoming Hearthstone expansion, you will too. Learn everything you need to know about the upcoming Hearthstone Forge Keyword.
Hearthstone's new Keyword: Forge
Hearthstone expansions are part of a story, TITANS is also part of World of Warcraft lore. To represent it on the board, the team brings new mechanics with each set. The new Forge Keyword is a mechanic that tells a story.
"The keepers were tasked with using mighty forges to create and shape life on Azeroth. Now you, too, have that power!"
For two mana, Hearthstone cards with the Forge Keyword can be moved over to your deck area and replaced with an improved “Forged” version. This brings a new strategic layer to the game. You will need to think whether you want to play a card immediately, or to greed it for a stronger one after paying for its upgrade.

The important thing to have in mind is that you don't need to do everything in the same turn. Once you upgrade a Hearthstone card with the Forge Keyword it will stay that way, which means that you can pay the 2 mana instead of doing the infamous turn 2 Hero Power play.
Activating the Hearthstone Forge Keyword is exactly like the Tradable one from United in Stormwind. It even has the logo below the mana cost as Tradable cards had. In the video below you can see how it looks, and oh boy it looks cool to Forge cards!
Previous expansion keywords
As we mentioned before, like TITANS with Forge, each Hearthstone expansion has its own jam. Before Forge, we saw Finale arrive in the Festival of Legends expansion. We can go a bit further back, and talk about the ones that came in 2022, which also form part of the Standard set:
- Voyage to the Sunken City: Dredge and Colossal
- Murder at Castle Nathria: Infuse
- March of the Lich King: Manathirst and Corpse
The TITANS Hearthstone expansion launch is still weeks ahead, and we are yet to discover most of its cards, once it's live on August 1, you will be able to Forge your destiny, with this new Keyword.
