What can I purchase with shards? A part for expeditions and cosmetic stuff. No way to purchase cards? tks
You can craft specific cards with shards.
How ? when I go to the store I can only use coins ...
Click on a card in your Collection: the option to buy new copies in Wildcards and/or shards will appear on the left.
Use "Show Unowned" to find cards you lack completely.
you don't go to the store silly, you go to your collection, select "show unowned" and then you can craft any card you like
Legendaries cost 3000 for example (although that amount of shards is better spent on expeditions tbh)
This. Or even if you own the card but want additional copies. Just right click on the card you want to craft. While you're there: click on the eye at the bottom right: you'll see the card's full artwork, which is usually really cool but so big that the card face only has room from a small cropped version. (My personal fav is Shark Chariot: did you know there's actually 3 sharks, and they're pulling Hecarim along?)
I would also argue that buying a specific Legendary could be better than buying an Expedition run and getting a random Legendary. All depends on your situation: how good you are at Expeditions, what constructed decks you want to play, what's in your existing collection, etc.
Getting an Expedition entry instead of a Legendary is really good when you're just trying to grow your collection, since the Legendary will cost you less than 3000 shards guaranteed. Ofc if you want a specific one, crafting it is probably going to be the best (not counting wild cards)
You're assuming you get at least 5 wins; for 3 or less, you only get the random champion and a small refund on your shards. Specifically, its either 4000 3000 shards to craft a specific champion or 3000 shards for a run with the following payouts:
I believe champions are 3000 shards apiece since the open beta launch, no? So they're still identical in price to an expedition.
Champions cost 3000. I believe it was 4000 in earlier stages of development as I have seen sites mention 4000, but I started playing 2 weeks ago, so don't quote me on this. My first expedition was a disaster. 2 trials of 0 wins. LOL. At least I got a champion I didn't have. If someone has an almost full collection, then ending an expedition with 5 wins (or even 6) is barely worth it. Of course, you also gain experience with the game and you get to play with cards you don't currently own, so there's that. Right now I am staying away from them until I become more experienced and I'll just keep hoarding tokens from the weekly vault.

btw with 3000 shard I prefer select a champion instead to get a random one ...
You gentlemen are correct; I was thinking it was 3000 but am at work so I double-checked online and found what I presume to be a stale article stating quoting 4000. XD
Not only that, for any long time HS Arena player, Expeditions will be your new home, tho the entry price is kinda a lot steeper in comparison, but with Vault token and not an abysmal first run, you should be able to afford to pay entry three times each week. It is about playing with a deck that you cannot build otherwise, more than two regions, more than 3 copies of a card etc. Just go nuts and have fun :)
