Murder at Castle Nathria has arrived and with it came a bunch of bundles that can either expand your collection or bling it up.
Castle Nathria Card Pack Bundles
In case you didn't pre-order or feel the need to fill up your collection faster, Blizzard provided two Rank 1 bundles right on the launch day.
- Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $19.99, containing 10 Castle Nathria packs, 10 Standard packs, and two random legendaries.
- Golden Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $39.99, containing 12 Golden Castle Nathria packs and one random golden legendary.
Buying these bundles unlocks another pair of Rank 2 bundles with increasing size and price.
- Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $39.99, containing 25 Castle Nathria packs, 25 Standard packs, and two random legendaries.
- Golden Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $79.99, containing 25 Golden Castle Nathria packs and two random golden legendaries.
Constructed Skin Bundles
All big skin bundles have now left the shop, and the only new addition was the new Castle Nathria-inspired Garrosh skin, which comes alongside 5 Warrior packs in a bundle priced at $9.99 or your regional equivalent.
The returning Madame Lazul and Maiev Shadowsong skins still remain in the shop for another week, at least. The former was the pre-order Priest skin for Rise of Shadows back in 2019, and the skin later returned for a limited time shop deal. Unlike last time, when the skin was sold for $11.99, it now costs $9.99 or 1500 gold.
Maiev, in turn, could be obtained for free via a special Quest celebrating the beginning of the Year of the Mammoth in 2018. The skin was later purchasable for $6.99 or 1000 gold from the in-game shop for a couple of weeks before later becoming purchasable for 1200 gold from the hero skin tab. The better-value deal has now returned.
Battlegrounds Bundles
No special bundles for Battlegrounds in the shop this week.
Rewards Track Skins
Another set of skins now live are those in the Rewards Track. The Tavern Pass that allows you to get your hands on these skins, as well as plenty of other additional rewards, can be purchased for $19.99 from the in-game shop.
I guess the last section was a partial lie, as the paid track also includes a new Battlegrounds Bartender and five skins:
Did you buy any of the bundles above? Did you have Legendary luck? Let us know in the comments below!

Why yes, I willingly sacrificed my soul to the almighty Yogg-Saron for the best pack opening I've had in ages!
Man, the rewards track portraits are so awesome for this expansion. Krygian Tyrande, Sanguine Sylvanas, Songstress Arana, Reveler Kael'thas...looks like I'll be trying to level up this time, after only reaching 57 last expac!
The Chained Garrosh one is amazing too, it already looks like one of the best Warrior skins ever. Tempted to buy the bundle...
So when can we expect any balance changes? I heard it was in 2 weeks after expansion arrived. But any update to this is also nice.
I don't know where to ask this, so I'll just put this in the latest article.
I probably have to point out that I still hate facing Waygate Quest Mage in high ranks. I hate to sit doing nothing and watched they played their turn over and over and over and over and....... geez. Okay I'm out.
The expansion has been out for less than 72 hours haha
I actually posted Aleco's (Final Design developer) thoughts on the matter in our Patch 24.0 coverage ('Constructed' section). The short version would be "probably not before the Masters Tour".
Overall, usually asking under a relevant article to the topic (game modes for x, patches for y, bugs for z) has a higher chance of somebody seeing it. Saw this more so by chance.
Wow the regular bundles are realy good value! Arguably better than the preorder.
I guess the standard packs are worse when you are missing a bunch of bad old legendaries but if you have a large collection already and open these first, it's great!
Completely different topic: They scrapped the high value skin from the tavern pass. I fully expected the new Garrosh skin to be part of it, similar to Faelin in the last pass. Now i'm kinda upset. Especially since I only really like the skins that are locked at level 100.
Kyrian Tyrande looks nice, but they should have used another character lorewise.
In Schadowlands Tyrande had a mainstoryline in Ardenweal(Wild Seeds). The Kyrian had a storyline involving Uther (which has a kyrian skin).
Hearthstone lore is not the same as official WoW lore. That's why we can have fun things like Ragnaros, Lightlord.
This is available in app, but not on battle.net, which is confusing. I'd buy it on battle.net to save the app store premium (also I have it in a cheaper currency there).
They tend to do that for special bundles (personalized or otherwise generated on a timer, like here Ranks 2 appearing later after the initial purchase). But yes, it's awkward.
