Donald Trump NFT Trading Cards Coming To Hearthstone In Legendary Collaboration
In a shocking move, Blizzard Entertainment has announced a collaboration with former President Donald Trump to bring his likeness to the popular digital card game, Hearthstone.
Players can now collect and trade NFT (non-fungible token) trading cards featuring the 45th President of the United States, complete with his signature comb-over and pouty face.
Donald Trump NFT Trading Cards Offer In-Game Value And Buffs
But it’s not just about collecting and trading these cards for bragging rights. No, these NFTs have actual in-game value and can be used to buff up your decks and take down your opponents.
“We’re excited to bring the power of Trump to Hearthstone players,” said a spokesperson for Blizzard. “His unique abilities, such as ‘Fake News,’ ‘Twitter Tirade,’ and ‘Grab ‘Em By the Deck,’ will surely shake up the competitive scene.”
The Collaboration Between Blizzard And Donald Trump Was Controversial To Say The Least
But the collaboration has not been without controversy. Many have criticized the decision, citing Trump’s history of divisive rhetoric and alleged inciting of violence.
“This is a huge disappointment,” said one player. “I love Hearthstone, but I don’t want to support someone who has caused so much harm and division in our country.”
Blizzard And Donald Trump Have More In Common Than You Think
Others have pointed out that this collaboration with a figure known for his controversial policies and statements is hardly surprising following the heavy controversies and lawsuits that faced Blizzard recently.
Despite the backlash, Blizzard remains firm in its decision to bring the Trump NFTs to Hearthstone.
“We believe in freedom of expression and the power of gaming to bring people together,” the spokesperson said. “Besides, these cards are going to sell like hotcakes.”
Only time will tell how the Trump NFTs will impact the Hearthstone meta, but one thing is certain: they are sure to cause a stir.
*Update: All of the Donald Trump NFT Trading Cards have sold out. It is unclear how this will affect Hearthstone or the players of the game.
