This past weekend during the excitement that was BlizzCon, Mike Donais let it be known on reddit that the plan is to bring back Tyrande this year.
Mike stated that she would be given away for free. We don't have any other information on how she is going to be available, but this is very exciting for all the people who were ineligible for the Twitch Prime promotion that originally brought Tyrande to the game.

We are still planning on giving it away free this year.

It technically didn't cost money - You got her with Twitch Prime, which you can actually just use a free trial and never pay a dime. In fact, if you have access to more then one email (not even different payment options) you could sign up for MULTIPLE free trials with the same credit card. I've gotten 7 or 8 myself as of only a few weeks ago.
It's disappointing to see people gatekeeping others when it comes to Tyrande. I have every Hearthstone hero portrait and yes - it's great to have an exclusive item - but come on guys. After a year or two these things should totally be available to the rest of the playerbase. I can understand keeping card backs a little more exclusive, but never being able to get a cool Hero portrait? That just seems mean to me.
It`s Tyrande now, tomorrow will be something else. I don`t want everybody that plays this game to have the "Dalaran Flame" for example. And again, how do you keep things unique if everybody can have them. It`s not about the money, it`s about the "skin/portrait" loosing it`s value by giving it to everybody. Alot of ppl want to stand out ingame with different cosmetics, and i don`t think i`m the only one that agrees with this whole thing. As a constant and interested player, i always did my research on how to obtain certain ingame stuff in time, so i don`t miss anything. If you are deep into something, you`ll do anything to obtain it, and you will succeed, trust me, i did that with my Dalaran Flame cardback. But it annoys me when "slacking ppl" receive things for free.
The difference here is that the Dalaran Flame cardback is obtained through participation in TeSPA programs, while Tyrande is just a free Twitch Prime reward. It's the inverse argument about the Ragnaros cardback that they gave to everyone; it's not like the people that got it back in that season did anything special other than get to rank 20. The reason they haven't given everyone the Legend cardback for free is because it requires significant effort to be put into the game. If you want Tyrande, just get an Amazon account and connect it to Twitch. Don't want to pay money? Make a new email account and link it again to get the free trial. It's not like people that got Tyrande did anything special that's out of the ordinary, all they had to do was log into a website and click some buttons. Besides, some people don't care whether or not a certain cosmetic is unique or exclusive, since it just looks good. I personally couldn't care less about the "exclusive value" of a portrait, all I care about is being able to use a nice looking animated portrait that looks better than Anduin's normal one.
Wow, good job blizzard! Good job in starting to make any cosmetic item loose it`s value. Everyone having the portrait makes it less special, worthless even. Things like this make an account/player unique. Now how about giving everybody in WOW the "Scarab Lord" title...Yey, gj blizz.
grow up
Yea, you told him allright. It's good to see that trolling other people oppinions on forum is helping you to feel more meaningful.
They should do the same for Khadgar
Wait... but i got her for Twitch Prime... Was the whole reason I even started playing Hearthstone... they were like "here Tyrande" and i was like "What is that game even is? Let me check out."
It was really easy to accuire her, even if I'm not living in America.
I feel that she must not be obtainable again
Awesome i didn't catch her by the time it happened,glad and happy they are doing this again.
Oh neat, I'll be glad to use her instead of Anduin, now if only they would do that for Nemsy Necrofizzle. There are no Fireside even remotely close to me, let alone one I'd take my computer to. I don't have a smartphone (no need for it) and don't have a tablet, and I DETEST Gul'dan. Probably one of the reasons I don't play lock as much as I would.
I mean I had just used a location spoof to do it, wasn’t that difficult to do
I tried the location spoof thing, but it didn't work because I wasn't connected to the right wi-fi.
Even when I did get it to work I remember it just barely working anyways. I wouldn’t be complaining if they gave another way of getting it, even though I’ve already got it
Even though I have ALL heroes available I feel like people who missed limited-time heroes should be able to buy them in store for $10 if they want. I mean c’mon, they haven’t updated ‘Heroes’ section of the shop since June 2015 when they introduced Alleria, Magni and Medivh.
Same thought have crossed my mind - why don't blizz release them to the in-game shop. If they feared there would be too many (longish list, too many choices) - make rotations of 3 portraits every month. At $10 all players who wanted them would've bought them.
Happy to hear she is coming back and isn't hiding behind a pay-wall or Amazon prime ToS and policies
Well.... time to play with her as long she is still cool xD
Great! Couldnt get twitch prime because of being in Argentina and just not being able to join at the time. I dont care about the cardbacks but tyrande is just perfect 4 priest
