In this post I’d like to share the iconic cards for each of the dual-race factions. You can play dual-race cards in either of the 2 matching races.

Terran/Zerg Iconic: Project Black Flag

Project Black Flag was the name of the UED’s mission to enslave the infant Overmind. The mission was ultimately a success, so the UED was able to incorporate slave broods into their military for a time.

Slave Broods is an aggressive unit card that costs 2 minerals and has the text “Send 2 Hydralisks, 2 Medics, and 6 Zerglings. Launch: Draw a card. Rush”

The Project Black Flag card rewards you for fielding a lot of energy units, which represent the scientists and psychics who enslaved the Overmind. Your reward is a deck full of under-costed zerg unit cards that replace themselves when played.

Zerg/Protoss Iconic: Queen and Pawn

The Queen is of course Kerrigan, Queen of Blades. The pawn is Raszagal, the Matriarch of the Dark Templar who was psionically enslaved by Kerrigan. With the aid of her pawn, Kerrigan tricked the Protoss into doing her bidding as she secured complete control of the zerg.

Similar to Psionic Blackout (revealed here) this card represents the deception of Kerrigan and the stealth of the Nerazim. With these two cards in your deck, your enemies will have to bring detection and save it for when its truly needed… if they don’t they’ll find themselves overrun with Lurkers and Dark Templar!

Protoss/Terran Iconic: Brothers in Arms

The “Brothers in Arms” here are Fenix and Raynor. Together they stood their ground against hordes of zerg during the fall of Aiur. Through this shared experience they forged a friendship that crossed the boundaries of their differing races.

Hero Warp cards are similar to Warp In cards. They cost 2/0, and send either 1 heroic Zealot or 1 heroic Dragoon with rush.

With this ability, Fenix keeps your heroic unit count up to synergize with cards like Loyal Legion (revealed here). Raynor also directly supports Fenix by granting all of your team’s heroic units with a combat buff.

The expansion is coming on June 12th. If you missed the announcement check it out!
