Glad to know I'm not alone! You're right - I disenchanted one copy of Old Murk-Eye and the notification went away. Looks like he was counted as two legendaries.
It sure is weird having multiple copies and random undustable cards, though. Hopefully they clean it up and give the latter a special border or such.
"You are wrong because 4 mana deal 2 damage to all minions is good because you can pair it with another card to make it work"
Even pointing out that paladin has libram of justice+consecration which most of the time is 1 or zero mana. Imagine if flamestrike made you discard a card to deal 4 damage aoe instead of 2.
With the patch, I've suddenly got more cards to disenchant. Two legendaries and two common cards. I found one of them - I got a duplicate Old Murk-Eye from the achievement. But I can't find the other new duplicate legendary! Which one is it? I don't want to hit the button without knowing, grrr.
You are probably right that the small pieces of XP from the new achievements gets us faster to level 70 which also means that the 20% XP boost gets applied to all play time in the game. So, my prior suggestions might possibly be thrown out the window, though I am not 100% sure without doing the proper math here.
Honestly, I do not really understand why they do not give us the 20% XP boost right from the start anyways.
I just launched the 20.0 patch and got 4! 1000 win portraits! My best guess is, all the past arena wins have been added to the counter? Mage, Paladin and Rogue got the biggest boost and those were the most picked classes back in the day. I'm not complaining but i gotta say, this was a little to unexpected. Hopefully this isn't a bug?
I'm pretty sure the Forged in the Barrens XP achievements won't be active until next Tuesday when it goes live. Also if you do claim the new achievement XP prior to the XP boost it helps reach said XP faster in the first place so I don't think that really matters.
I have achieved my objective of hitting level 100 before the new set releases. I have around 6700 gold and i'm not really playing the game. I have fully neglected quests for several weeks and i haven't played constructed in two months. I was playing a lot of Battlegrounds but i got bored of that as well after Darkmoon Prizes were removed. I still play a little every few days but only enough to do a few quests and sometimes i don't even bother with that. So, the track is definitely fine as it is right now. They are doing some major changes though and i hope it will be for the better but i can't be sure until at least a month after the new track is out. I hope the rotation ignites my interest in the game again but i'm not that excited about the new cards or some of the changes to the core set of certain classes (I don't really like what they did to Priest).
Nothing tastes more delicious than the salty tears of a Warrior player -- no matter how misguided they may be.
Warrior is in an extremely good place now, and Rancor is a very good card if you know what you're doing. That's the main (and best) difference in the new Warrior cards. They don't just mindlessly play themselves the way old Control Warrior decks did.
If you intend to buy the new Tavern Pass, I suggest to you to NOT claim the Forged in the Barrens XP achievements before purchasing the Tavern Pass. If you want to further MIN-MAX this, I would even suggest to withold claiming that sweet sweet XP until you have reached level 70 of the new rewards track (which unlocks the 20% XP boost).
It is up to you to find out how much patience you really have or care about getting the most XP out of this 😅
EDIT: Nice, getting some downvotes for a little piece of advice. Thanks a lot! Care to share some of your awesome feedback of why you disagree or perhaps you just like clicking buttons with a red caret pointing downwards? Jeez!

its the same by me. I'm very surprised and hopefully they make a statement about this
New Music in Forged in the Barrens Patch 20.0 - Rokara, Thrall, Wailing Caverns, and More!
Someone on reddit already posted the new book of heroes skin for thrall. Makes sense for the data mined music then.
Skin looks pretty good. The shaman in me says "we about to burnanate some alliance soon."

You are right. I can only hope if the cardback I still miss is available today, but I am patient enough to wait a bit longer also.

I can't remember previous expansions to have their own soundtrack. Wonder where they are going to be used, maybe in the mercenaries mode?

I got a ton of golden cards from the new achievement rewards (specifically having up to 10,000 wins) and they are nowhere to be found

So awesome that they are finally releasing a pre-purchase card back. Gives me hope they'll eventually release a hero.

Of all the card backs they add back its Exodar, my favourite...500gold gone 😜

The only card back that I didn’t own is the Exodar one. It’s weird knowing that these returning card backs aren’t meant for me
