Hearthstone Mercenaries isfree to playand will remain so for the foreseeable future. Blizzard-Activision is keeping Hearthstone free as a whole and only charging for certain features. The game itself is free, butnot everythingin the game is availablewithout purchase or grinding.
Mercenary CardsandMercenary Portraitscan be unlocked byplaying the game. As a reward for completing the ‘introductionary missions,’ Hearthstone Mercenaries gives playerseight free Mercenaries. It really isn’t necessary to acquire more mercenaries immediately since the current number of mercenaries is sufficient to play diversely.

Although the base game is free, players who don’t want to grind for features have options topay for more items. Because this game is PvE, players who pay to advance won’t harm anyone playing without paying. In regular Hearthstone,bundles are available for real moneyand give the player more gold and mercenaries.
Hearthstone Mercenaries use mercenary coins as their currency. Players are able to obtaincoinsthroughpurchases, but they must be careful.Mercenary coins are unique to each mercenary.Thus, if a player has Sylvanas' mercenary coins, they cannot use them to empower Jaina.
Thus, buying them at all is a gamble, but feel free to use cash if you have it to spare!
