What happened to "Arena only" card's that were shown on Blizzcon?

I remember that auidence voted for each class that will appear in Arena only?

I think that is very cool idea... Anyone knows whats up?

They will be added right before the next expansion so that players are enticed to blow the gold they saved for packs on arena tickets so that they are more inclined to purchase packs for money.

See:

Dual Class Arena

Heroic Tavern Brawl

We do it then usually because it’s when people are most bored with constructed. We just focus on making the game as fun as possible, and keeping the game fresh and interesting is an important goal for us.

Often we discuss the dip in excitement around “month 3” of the expansion cycle, and how to make the game more fun in that period. Cool events is one of those tools. Sometimes it’s an Arena event, but it was Double-Gold once too. We have some other fun ideas still to come!
