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.
Quote From Mike Donais Any News of Tyrande? Promised at The End of the Year…
We are still planning on giving it away free this year.

I am happy for people who can finally obtain her but it raises important question - what about other alternative skins they were giving with prepurchase? I want Thunder King and now I need to b*tch for years on forums to get him? Nobody is talking abot those heroes.
They need to address this somehow.
Well, she wasnt part of any actual pre-order, but rather part of a special promotion for Twitch. So i dont think we will see skins from HS pre-orders given to us, let alone for free, anytime soon, if ever.
Ah, yeah, Tyrande. I remember trading my 80 g quest for a code, it was a thing back then. She wasn't available in my country, and other methods didn't work for me, tried everything. I was so happy when I got her, never switched back to Anduin. Glad that others will be able to enjoy the skin without the hassle.
I am absolutely enraged by Blizzard's decision here. I still remember the day I obtained the Tyrande skin and all the effort involved. I activated the muscles in my right arm to click a mouse a few times, and then typed a bunch of letters using my keyboard. I even had to create one of those swirly email symbols, which requires using the shift key. It was no small feat, but I kept going and I was rewarded handily. When I went to bed that night, I remember my right arm throbbing a little bit, due to being overworked. It felt powerful in a way, and I thought about signing up for a gym membership so that I could replicate that feeling again (I didn't).
Anyway, the fact that all the plebeians get to experience this arrangement of pixels for zero effort is extremely upsetting to me. I think that Corky St. Clair sums it up best, so I say this to all of you:
You forgot to end with /s.
Yes, I prefer the traditional approach.
Seriously people...it’s a skin for a class in a card game, let other people enjoy it as you did when you first got it, instead of being pathetic and moaning about it.
All you people being toxic on forums is the reason people cannot enjoy previous material.
I’m sure there been a few new players to the game during the past 3 years that want to obtain past card backs and hero’s.
I have every hero and card back I could obtain since hearthstone started and I’m happy there bringing some back for the community that missed out on it, it makes no difference to me, but it make a difference for those who missed out or didn’t play back then.
When bob who starting playing a year ago gets Tyrande and is happy about it, that will make no difference at all to you toxic whiners that want everything for themselves for their petty ego
wow you are pretty triggered dude. Just to say, the fact that i don't like is that they recycle a hero portrait, instead of giving 1 for free each exp as they used to. peace
"I paid for it so everybody else should too."
That's a very problematic way of thinking. Don't let that line of thought seep into other parts of your life, boomer.
Thanks Blizzard for listening to us. Really appreciate it.. people who are trying to be gatekeeper and salty. please..Grow up, you did nothing special to get the portrait..
I am actually seriously pissed off that they are giving this to everyone for free. Whenever you saw someone with tyrande, you know they were one of the select number of people that got her from twitch prime. Now there's gonna be nothing unique about having her anymore.
Probably their shitty policy has got even worse about creating a new hero for free, so they just don't create a new hero, they pick an old hero that wasn't supposed to be free and then say "look at all the free stuff we give".
sure
And I am pissed off twitch prime wasnt available in my country when Tyrande was made available through it.
I didn't have Twitch Prime in my country either but I made an American Amazon account for the free trial. If you wanted the Tyrande skin you could have gotten it pretty easily.
Why they haven't started with Khadgar first, he showed up before Tyrande. Anyways, if Tyrande shows up, until their announcement for free Khadgar, they'll have one less player in their HS players pool.
that will show them
I don't know about you, but in real life, people actually concern about each customer they have. And price of their products each day is already "showing them", but yet again, you're here just to troll comments.
I'm glad that they're making these cosmetics available for everyone, since lots of people complained that not everyone had access to her (that's the entire points of an item being exclusive for Christ's sake, but moving on). I think it'd be cooler if we got a "fake" version of Tyrande though, since then it becomes unfair to the people that spent money on acquiring her in the first place.
EDIT: profanity.
i might be shooting myself in the foot here as a f2p player but i dont think they should be giving away a hero skin for free when it cost money the first time they should do the same now or else it kinda loses the value of the people who already have it
