Ah, so I can explain that better, sorry, been ultra-busy and should have added another clarification!
They put that on there as a disclaimer because of US FCC regulations. Its more of an "if you show this off" type thing and not a "show this off or else". All of Blizzard's messaging on freebies (including stuff we get for giveaways) is always, hey if you want to share this stuff that's cool, but you must tell everyone we gave it to you as a gift.
I'll agree though, it is a bit sus haha.
I know they definitely appreciate my sharing, but I don't do it for them, I do it because I know people like to see this kind of stuff. Personally, I'm always impressed by some of the stuff the other Blizzard games give away and love to see what people get as promotional materials, and that goes for other games too. Some of the dev studios really hit it out of the park, and I feel like this Forged in the Barrens promo is one of the coolest things I've gotten yet.
I've also got this rad bar set from The Boomsday Project, among other swag. I don't believe I ever posted it anywhere.
Hopefully one day I can dedicate an entire room to all this epic Hearthstone loot. I definitely could already with the stuff I've purchased over the years and received as a gift from Blizzard, I just need to find a spare room!
Can reduce cards to 0, so if you have a 2 mana Taunt in hand you can drop them both at the same time, which is a pretty good swing early on. I'll try out Taunt Druid just for Mark of the Spikeshell, but cards like this do make me wonder if it might actually be good.
New Warrior Weapon - Outrider's Axe
Weapon with card draw. Super strong.
New Warrior Spell - Rancor
Aoe and armor gain. Strong control card.
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Hello taunt warrior. Easy condition to maximize it's value.
New Warrior Minion - Rokara
Has some good synergies but needs to stick.
New Warrior Minion - Overlord Saurfang
Frenzy deck staple if it becomes a thing.
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
high value card for control warlock
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
Cheap aoe spell. Good in zoo with cheap minions.
New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)
Seems way too vanilla. Not a strong card.
New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
Good buff card for zoo.
New Warlock Minion - Apothecary's Caravan
Not a fan of these caravans cards. All seem two slow and understated
New Neutral Minion - Toad of the Wilds
The toad every durid was looking for
New Warlock Minion - Blood Shard Bristleback
Strong value card late game. Possible 9 heal.
New Warlock Spell - Grimoire of Sacrifice
nice cheap aoe + combo with deathrattle cards in zoo
New Hunter Minion - Prospector's Caravan
I want this to be good, because I'm a sucker for handbuff... but it's just so easy to remove. All the Caravans suffer that same issue.
New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
Synergizes with deck destruction archetype. Not sure if that's good though.
I'm Forging into the Barrens! The Horde Has Sent a War Supply Crate to My Location (Thanks Blizzard)

New Warrior Spell - Physical Training (Rank 1)
This made me sweat just watching it
New Warlock Spell - Altar of Fire
Love it. Anti combo and disrupted your opponents deck.
New Hunter Spell - Wound Prey
On the Hunt but a little bit better. I'd say that's worth it.
New Warlock Minion - Barrens Scavenger
Not good enough. A 6/6 endgame minion is not good.
New Neutral Minion - Oasis Thrasher
Krocolisk is back to thrash!
New Neutral Minion - Oasis Thrasher
Better than Leper Gnome? This looks like it will be the only cheap neutral option for dealing direct damage to the enemy hero either way.
New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame
Value card. Cheap spells.
New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
Can reduce cards to 0, so if you have a 2 mana Taunt in hand you can drop them both at the same time, which is a pretty good swing early on. I'll try out Taunt Druid just for Mark of the Spikeshell, but cards like this do make me wonder if it might actually be good.
New Neutral Minion - Southsea Scoundrel
Better to not give a strong card to your opponent
