@Songbird_HS @Celestalon @RidiculousHat question on min-maxing pack openings. Are the non-gold versions of the freebies going to be in the packs, or part of the preorder rewards? Should I go thru the quest chain day 1 before opening packs to get the other golden card?

      @Songbird_HS @Celestalon @RidiculousHat Just don’t want to earn the other legendary (Vandar) while doing my pack openings

        @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon @RidiculousHat I'm told non-golden versions will be craftable and in packs as soon as the set launches. There's a trade-off there where some players don't want the cards locked behind the quest whereas others, like you, want to min-max and would have to do the quest first to be 100%.

          @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon @RidiculousHat Wasn't your question, but if anyone's curious, the golden versions of them are special and not in packs/craftable.

          @hsdecktech @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @RidiculousHat The full questline is not something that you should expect to do in just a couple days or something; it's a long event.

            @Celestalon @hsdecktech @ElmStreetVictim @RidiculousHat 7200 honor in total needed. So even if you lost every game you would need 720 games. I would think that would make it very possible to grind out the whole Quest before opening up packs. If you have that much dedication. Sounds like an interesting challenge.

              @JNytemarePierce @hsdecktech @ElmStreetVictim @RidiculousHat Honor credit is the same as quest credit, can't just concede instantly.

      @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon non-gold versions won't be in packs, but i believe it is possible to open golden vanndar and golden drek'thar - they'll probs give full dust refunds on these cards first week because of the prerelease events. i'd wait for an official answer tho. and i bet @hsdecktech will have it

        @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon Korrak will have this type of refund treatment.

          @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon If you dust him, does he just show up in your collection again immediately afterward? 😉

          @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon What about non-golden versions of the two promo heroes? (I just opened a non-golden version of Drek'Thar.)

            @aqword2 @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon No, those goldens are extras like the goldens in the rewards track.

              @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon Oof. Feels bad. So I bought the pre-order bundle and one of my 3 legendaries is the non-golden version of something I'll get golden for free?

                @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS @Celestalon Hang on, isn't that inconsistent with earlier expansions? You wouldn't open a duplicate Sathrovarr or Kael'thas or Dungar. Shouldn't duplicate protection apply here too? @Celestalon is this a bug or functioning as intended?

                  @aqword2 @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ElmStreetVictim @Songbird_HS Those are things that you get immediately on launch, and would be the equivalent of Korrak here. The AV Honor event rewards are things you'll get over the course of weeks or months for most people (yes I'm aware some incredibly hardcore players have already completed it early).
