Do you mind sharing the link to the official post re: copy protection?
Additionally, when does the protection take effect?
Is it when you get the pack or when you open the pack?
For example, if I get the classic pack in this week's brawl and open it post release, will it be protected?
It's a long blog but luckily it's mentioned quite early on. And yes it's 26th.
What we know about pack openings (even right now) is that the rarities of the cards are determined when acquiring the pack (purchased/rewarded) but the exact contents when you open it. Therefore if you save your packs until 26th (or let's say 27th so we're on the safe side; I don't think it'll flip on right away in the morning) the rarity protection should apply.
TL;DR Save your pack openings until March 26th (or 27th to play it safe).

Thanks FrostyFeet! Appreciate the response.
I guess the protection is activated with the patch on 3/26, so when you have the patch you should be safe.
So basically at 10 for the west coast, since they pretty much never release stuff at other times.
The mobile patch is another story though.
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
