It feels like a merch store item so it's possible we could see it available to the public.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Catrina Muerte but the people that dislike the other two cards (Mass Resurrection and Convincing Infiltrator) are probably happy that she's gone. I certainly won't miss her. I agree with most cards here. I'm gonna miss some of them but we need a fresh start. There are a few other cards that i was expecting to see here like Heistbaron Togwaggle (or rather Wondrous Wand and its insane mana cheating) and Omega Devastator (disappeared completely after rotation just like Archivist Elysiana but it was despised before that).

If there will be any new info to add, we will make sure to stay on top of it! From what we know so far, I don't believe that free Geddon will be counting towards duplicate protection from the packs (technically the Core version will be a different uncraftable card that that is being loaned to you for that duration). 

Yes, there will be new achievements for the parrot and Murk-Eye. So you should get auto completion once they go live, and I imagine the reward once collected. 

That sounds weird. Maybe Blizzard stopped rewarding these cards at some point. Do you have Old Murk-Eye? Coz I know that's the reward for collecting all the murlocs in classic

Level 221, 14500 gold, previous record is 7500 gold per cycle, so this is nearly a double. I will not need the small preorder in future most likely.

Why? It's so utterly optional, I just don't understand what the problem would be.

Been hoarding Classic Packs since the core set has been announced, and currently have like 6-7 saved up in total. I hope i get something decent, if i remember correctly i SHOULD be fairly close to the pity timer. (Really hoping to get Ragnaros the Firelord, Sylvanas Windrunner, a 2nd copy of Ice Block or some Molten Giants, those are the only big ones i'm still missing because i didn't craft them yet.) Personally i play a lot of WILD and have always been really tempted to craft most of these cards (already did craft 1 Ice Block), so getting some for free would be very nice! (Just hoping i don't unpack my first copy of Millhouse Manastorm, Lorewalker Cho or Nat Pagle..)

Also i'm happy their making Tavern Brawls something to look forward to again. Tavern Brawls have felt very stale lately and i honestly have accidentally skipped a few tavern brawls because i forgot they either excisted or it was a brawl that was way too tedius to do. Having packs from the current expansion as the reward makes it a LOT more exciting, because you can get some cards that you actually want. (And cards from new packs are more likely to get nerfed = more potential dust.) And it also makes HS a lot more free to play, which is awesome! I wished that they made these changes a lot sooner honestly,

I have a complete classic collection, with the exception of Captain's Parrot. Does anyone know if it is going to be available through packs? Or will I get it automatically because I have all pirates? 

I also have some 20 classic packs or so from tavern brawls. 

I currently have 3 Classic packs without opening, my plan was to open them after teh core set releases to get more chances to open the legendaries I still don't have. Though I don't remember which exactly, I didn't have Baron Geddon for example and since they are giving it in the core set I assumed it was going to count as I got him, that's why I was waiting.
Thanks for the article, will you be creating a new one once the expansion launches to let us know if we were right to wait?

Endless board matters if u can survive endless turns. It will be hard with empty deck.

Thanks man, was hoarding a few packs as I wasn't sure of the outcome. Guess I'll wait till FiTB launches.

In the middle of this Post Blizzard announces:


Private pre-release Fireside Gatherings will take place the weekend before Forged in the Barrens goes live, March 26 at 10:00 a.m. PT – March 29 at 10:00 a.m. PT.

So it is like every expansion the weekend before the release. 

Looks like we have some overtime for the giveaway and event (can still purchase tickets). So better get those card discussions and Tuskaroons quickly 😜

This is a good answer. Only Demon Hunters have sigils, so I do not expect any other classs to get them. 

Gonna try my hardest to make Hunter work in any capacity (doesn't look like it's going to be easy)

ye I don't get why don't they make immune for 1 turn, even a weak weapon with this card can become too strong.

It depends on what I open. But I will definitely go for murloc wild shaman. If I do not get the legendary I will craft it. Once it got revealed I delayed my last Dark Moon Faire craft just in case

The first one is impossible to answer, as not even team 5 knows. As for the second one it probably depends entirely on warcraft lore. Other classes might have similar mechanics, but I doubt that other classes that don't get sigils in WoW would get them in Hearthstone.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely consider it as Pen Flinger did seem like a weak inclusion to me as well.
