I should add - I still want to do both of these events. I think if we can do something for Stormwind around the mini-set it could be fun. It may even be a better idea to do it that way going forward because it makes the whole reveal area less chaotic. At that point we also have full knowledge of the expansion which can lead to potentially better content within the event.
If there's a SI:7 that gets cut out of the Questline deck, this is the first on the list. That said, could work well with the Stealth Package from Ashes of Outlands.
Sorry we didn't have this up during the reveal season itself. Usually these close when the expansion launches but just to be fair to everyone, we'll let these rewards stay up for a few extra days, through the release weekend. Get your votes in as soon as possible though please - it helps us with our compendium data.
Re: Site Gold
The shop will eventually be filled with stuff to buy with it so for now, hoard!
I also know the next question will be why didn't we get a Stormwind event. My answer ties into why the Birthday event still hasn't happened - there are so many things going on and it has been that way for the past few months. There were events roughly planned out and the time fell through on the execution. Hilariously, I honestly thought I was going to take a week off in July but that never happened.
You never put those spells in your deck, C'thun put them, and it's a minion that at the start of your game shuffles them in there, your deck must not have a different spell school in the "deck building" phase.
As stated above, Even decks can run C'thun, so I'm sure that it will work.
So this is what all those SI:7 cards are for. I'm not sure this will be that good. Looks real easy to complete, but the reward is certainly weaker than a "For the rest of the game" reward.
Well, that was a real different story! Enli is a great dude and a very good BG player by the way. I might not have won the lobby, but the contents of the free pack I opened was: 1 legendary + 1 epic + 3 commons. Feeling like a winner, definitely worth the wait ^_^
I've had enough times with Backstab in my hand without a target, that I'm liking the tradeable on this. Although this can go face, assuming you haven't already damaged it.
Kotaku today posted an in-depth investigation about the goings-on related to the "Cosby Suite", which was a hotel room used by Blizzard employees during BlizzCon 2013.
Up to now, no one on the Hearthstone team had been mentioned in the allegations. This is no longer the case:
Another image from the same Facebook album shows a screenshot of a 2013 group chat called the “BlizzCon Cosby Crew.” In it, former Blizzard designer David Kosak writes, “I am gathering the hot chixx for the Coz.”
“Bring em,” replies Afrasiabi. “You can’t marry ALL of them Alex,” Kosak writes. “I can, I’m middle eastern,” responds Afrasiabi. Jesse McCree, currently a lead game designer at Blizzard, then writes, “You misspelled fuck.”
This makes me profoundly sad. I had hoped Team 5 wouldn't be involved in this affair because it was too small and isolated in its early years, as well as being led by Ben Brode (can you imagine Ben condoning ANY kind of demeaning behaviour? Neither can I).
Added a couple more updates about the increased requirements for the pack goblin and some clarifications for the Battlegrounds lobbies (can participate twice a day if there is room) plus extra links. I've personally played with both Cara and Enli and can confirm they are good at organizing these things and providing pack codes outright.
I've noticed that some non-article things are shown on the main page, but not on the game specific sub-page. The Stormwind Launch Countdown aswell as the "81 Card revealed" and "Dreamhack Beyond" Banners are some current examples of this.
I would appreciate it if you could also add these und future things to the /hearthstone page since that's the page I actually bookmarked.

Do I have some news for you.

You absolute madlads still did it despite all the chaos. Big ups. I knew I wouldn't waste my time commenting on every card.
New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Operative
If there's a SI:7 that gets cut out of the Questline deck, this is the first on the list. That said, could work well with the Stealth Package from Ashes of Outlands.
New Neutral Minion - Mo'arg Forgefiend
N'Zoth fuel if nothing else, pretty boring to run otherwise, but still very good result off of Cenarion Ward or Primordial Protector.
New Shaman Minion - Canal Slogger
Ah Zilliax, how I missed you... you look... slimier than I remember.

Interaction between Darkbishop Benedictus & C'thun?
I'm fairly certain that it should work.
You never put those spells in your deck, C'thun put them, and it's a minion that at the start of your game shuffles them in there, your deck must not have a different spell school in the "deck building" phase.
As stated above, Even decks can run C'thun, so I'm sure that it will work.
New Rogue Spell - Find the Imposter
So this is what all those SI:7 cards are for. I'm not sure this will be that good. Looks real easy to complete, but the reward is certainly weaker than a "For the rest of the game" reward.
Interaction between Darkbishop Benedictus & C'thun?
I'm guessing the priest quest will prevent it though even though it starts it your hand, right?
New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Operative
Seems decent. It can remove a low health minion, then stick for another turn because of stealth. Maybe good in combination with SI:7 Assassin.
New Rogue Minion - Loan Shark
I never found Tomb Pillager to be that useful, and this is even worse.
New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Informant
Could be decent. There's 7 different SI:7 cards now, most of which are cheaper than this, so it could be pretty damn big by turn 4.
DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available
Well, that was a real different story! Enli is a great dude and a very good BG player by the way. I might not have won the lobby, but the contents of the free pack I opened was: 1 legendary + 1 epic + 3 commons. Feeling like a winner, definitely worth the wait ^_^
Great advice, Aesan... kudos to you! 😁
New Rogue Spell - SI:7 Extortion
I've had enough times with Backstab in my hand without a target, that I'm liking the tradeable on this. Although this can go face, assuming you haven't already damaged it.
New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Assassin
I assume this works with any card with SI:7 in the name. Shouldn't be too hard to discount itself to where it's good in the right deck.

New Rogue Minion - Maestra of the Masquerade
Seems fun. Probably next to useless competitively, but fun.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
YOU ARE CORRECT, R!!! OBLIVION!!!!!!
Best Pack... Ever... ?
Oh yeah... I rule... kind of, but not really.
Expansion Bundles should be available all year not just for Pre Orders
Yeah as the guy above you said they do it so you can't change your mind after seeing how stale the meta is.

Really really small improvement of two existing features
I've noticed that some non-article things are shown on the main page, but not on the game specific sub-page. The Stormwind Launch Countdown aswell as the "81 Card revealed" and "Dreamhack Beyond" Banners are some current examples of this.
