You start getting duplicates after having all the cards of that rarity (common, rare, etc.)
The only thing that comes to mind is that you already had all rares and epic of DMF, if not, if you had one normal and one golden Revenant Rascal, you could still get another normal or golden one, since you don't have 2 normal ones, and again, if not... bugs.
Hi Griffior. Love your work, so I was excited to see how this would look and I'm excited to see how it would look later.
My list of feedback is probably going to be long, so bear with me.
Show Spoiler
And long list it is.
Your Hero Power lacks "Hero Power" in bold at the top that all Hero Powers have although this is a very minor thing to point out.
I don't like the fact that you can't use your Hero Power if you already control a Ghoul. While I know this exists for balance reasons, it does go against a principal of basic Hero Powers which is to be mostly freely usable and to never feel situational. With Totemic Call, you can't use your Hero Power if you control all 4 basic Totems, but you need to control all 4 of those Totems first.
As for the 3 mana Hero Power, balancing a proper 3 mana Hero Power will be difficult when we lack an existing precedent, but I think it probably can be done. Unlike Demon Hunter with 1-mana Hero Power though, one problem with a 3 mana Hero Power is that it does hurt the fact that Hero Powers are meant to be relatively easy to fit into almost any turn, and having a 3 mana Hero Power makes it more difficult to do this.
Rune Charges are a fine idea, although it's not entirely intuitive what they do from the description. They do also limit some weapon design space as you'd need to make the upgrade for each weapon you make immediately intuitive. I feel like it'll also take away from the keyword if you end up making a lot of weapons that don't work with Rune Charges.
I'm not sure what the "Core" set is supposed to be. If it's supposed to be the Classic set, then it should have the Classic watermark. If it's supposed to be the Basic set, then the cards aren't supposed to have rarities and Rune Charge isn't allowed to appear in your Basic set since it's a class keyword.
Mind Freeze is pretty weak. I feel like it could be 3 mana or maybe even 2.
Forsaken Scholar is also weak. You could give it more stats, or give it Taunt.
I don't mind the fact that Howling Hatchet is identical to Death's Bite, but if this is supposed to be the Basic set, then Deathrattle I believe doesn't appear in Basic.
Failed Adventurer is also weak. I'd say it would be better as a 4/6, but even making it a 5/6 isn't outrageous anymore with Circus Amalgam in the game.
Anti-Magic Zone is very weak. Compare it to Spellward Jeweler, which has a 3/4 body as well as this effect for the same cost, and doesn't see any play.
Leeching Daggermight be able to have 2 Attack unless your class is full or hero/weapon Attack buffs, which the ability implies that it does.
Frozen Footman should use the same wording found on Water Elemental. It's also weak, and I think it could be a 1/3.
Frostbeard has an orphan in its textbox which doesn't look good, although this is a very minor thing to point out. It's also a bit weird to see a Pirate Legendary in what's supposed to be the core of the class since DK doesn't strike me as a Pirate class.
Frozen Giant has 5 lines of text, which will always be unacceptable in the eyes of any professional until the end of time (or at least until Hearthstone has cards with 5 lines of text in the actual game). Can't attack shouldn't be bolded, but it honestly doesn't need it in my opinion.
Heartwarming seems VERY slow, so I'm not sure how to evaluate it, although it takes forever to get good value of it.
Bloodied Blade is a cool card, although it seems too similar to Howling Hatchet in your Core set.
Vampiric Brood is… weird. Assuming I understand how passive Health buffs work, this basically makes you Immune for one Attack which seems weak for 3 mana considering Blur exists. Passive Health buffs in general are often avoided by most people due to the fact that they're very wonky to work with. Team 5 themselves has pretty much acknowledged this as they've stopped using them since way back in GvG.
Howling Blast can probably be 3 mana.
Frostwake seems weak now that Glacier Racer has released in the days since you made this.
On a Pale Horse is probably weak, although it's a pretty dangerous effect, so maybe it's worth it? Kayn Sunfury makes this seem weak though.
Freezing Elemental can be 4 mana.
Sterner Stuff is another card with 5 lines of text.
Chilled Challenger has Battlecry misspelled.
Deathloc is cool, but it might be weak when compared to Shooting Star or Felscream Blast. If your class has minion buffs though, then I suppose this can counteract against this.
Apologies for the confusion, and allow me to correct myself:
”Tickatus is not a ‘low-enough power level’ card, it is completely devastating”.
although the point still remains that I am saying tha it IS devastating; which is contrary to what Dean was saying (I did “read the whole thing”). Surely you can read between my poorly paraphrased semantics and understand the substance of the content, instead of implying that I missed the point by not quoting him verbatim.
I'd probably get this bundle just for the priest and rogue skins if it's reasonably priced. I really hope Blizzard starts printing more skins and relies on that for a profit, rather than relying on the card pack sales.
So this is what they meant when they said that they are working on more skins than ever. I can totally see more of these skins for the other events. People just have to keep in mind that reusing characters means that they are also reusing the animations, but that is fine with me.
Weird! Because that is also a Rare in the promo materials on their site...
It doesn't bother me much because I got them all anyway through hoarded packs, but for those who may not have had as much saved up and also may not be getting the bundle, hope this doesn't affect them too much with the changed rarity distribution.
Hearthstone website even shows Hysteria as a Rare, but in game it seems to be an Epic. Wonder if that was a mistake in coding and it's supposed to be Rare, or maybe they meant for it to be Epic? Could also be a last minute change.
I expect he just hitched a ride with some sailors or goblins at some point in the many years between WC2 and WC3. It seems plausible that he heard about Kalimdor and how it is much more wild than the Eastern Kingdoms, and decided to visit. I doubt it is an exciting story at any rate.

And long list it is.
Sorry for the really long list.
I'm quite excited to see where this class goes.

Omg I love the new Uther portrait, so cool :D And Vallera is good looking too. I wonder if they come with new voicelines.

Anduin kind of looks like David Bowie there!
New Achievements for XP
I´ve noticed that after the new patch today, we got new achievements that grant XP requiring new cards from the mini-set.
Go hunt those sweet new XP! :)

So rule "At least 1 card will be Rare or better" no more applies?
I was about to make a thread asking the same thing:
I mean I don't care that much because I almost exclusively play battlegrounds but still, wtf Blizzard?

That Anduin flavor text! Lol. Also the Valeera is spicy.
Visual rarity bug (duplicate protection fine)
I bought the bundle and opened a pack. I now have 3 Hysteria and 1 Revenant Rascal.

Yeah something is a little screwy. I saw a post on Reddit where someone opened a pack where "Rally!" was their rare, but it had a common gem on it.

I was opening some DMF packs when this happened:

Did they changed something, or is it just another bug?

So you didn´t get new ticket for unfinished Duels run?

i buyed the packs with gold. Unfortunately they didnt count to the different cards in the achievments. Is this a bug?

So, it turns out leaving a Duels run midway won't preemptively end it midway and give you a new ticket + rewards from interrupted run.

Turns out Hysteria is an Epic... Anyone else find some rarities in opening cards that didn't match the reveals?
