      @Celestalon I have 2 important questions: 1) Does it also mean changes in how the cards are going to look on the board? 2) Are the cards going to have animations? They can have the same ones as golden cards (if that's even possible, I wouldn't even care).

        @imik_plays 1) "We’re also thinning out the card frame itself for next expansion’s Signature cards, both in hand and on the board" 2) Yes, they will have golden-style animations.

          @Celestalon @imik_plays Updated the forum post to add the golden-style animations point as well. :)

      @Celestalon Changes appreciated! Though even with these, opening a signature will still feel like a downside compared to opening a NORMAL one (when it should feel better than opening a golden one, according to the rarity drops and to how the game prioritizes versions when using a deck code)

        @Celestalon Indeed, if I open a signature Alexandros Mograine when I already have a Mograine, it's offering me to reroll it—say for an Anachronos. I *should* press the button, otherwise I'm just missing a legendary, as entitled in the blog post.

          @Celestalon If the card I opened wasn't a signature, due to duplicate protection, it couldn't have been another Mograine, so let's say it's Anachronos. So, in one case I end up with normal Mograine, in the other I end up with the signature one.

            @Celestalon Now, say there's a world where Mograine gets a nerf. In the situation B, I have my normal Mograine, that I can turn into 1600 dust, to have another legendary—which I can choose, contrary to the reroll feature. In the situation A, I'm stuck with my nerfed signature Mograine.

              @GaletteLithium Anachronos could just as easily get nerfed.

                @Celestalon In both cases I have a normal Anachronos

                  @GaletteLithium But then you're comparing apples to oranges. That other case is one where you just got more stuff.

                    @Celestalon Uh I'm not sure 🤔 In sit. A, I open the signature Mograine, so I reroll my normal Mograine (thus I don't have it anymore) and get another one → legendary count += 1 In sit. B, I open another legendary → legendary count += 1 That's not more stuff, is it?

                      @GaletteLithium Those aren't equal situations though. The Signature you got was a pure bonus you got on top of everything else (well, minus a common).

                        @Celestalon Oh, you're right, I forgot that the legendary drop actually went up to make room for the signature legendaries. Thanks for the clarification!

                          @Celestalon So indeed, opening a signature legendary does feel better than opening a common when you know it's the thing to compare 😖

                            @GaletteLithium Yep. And that "when you know it's the thing to compare" is a big deal! I'd say one of the biggest issues right now is that the way it's presented right now is unclear. Even though it IS in your favor, it's presented so similarly to existing legendaries, where it could be a loss.

                              @GaletteLithium Don't have any specific announcements there (we haven't figured that out), but it's definitely something we're thinking about for next expansion.

      @Celestalon What are you going to do about signature in preorders? Preorder golden legendaries to me always felt as a legendary of our choice since you can disenchant for full value. But now we get undisenchantable cards. Will we receive compensation or will future expacs be golden instead?

      • Mattendo_64

        @Celestalon I just don’t understand how signature cards are a “bonus” if you can’t disenchant them. I would much prefer disenchanting them like golden cards over this lottery system of “rerolling” and only getting that option when you have duplicates

      @Celestalon Hey Celestalon, one thing that I was slightly sad about with Signature cards is that they weren’t animated in the same way gold cards are. I really like the signature cards, but I’m regularly swapping them for gold counterparts because I prefer the neat animations.

        @Palettebkk You have all of the legendary cards in that set, so you got a duplicate.

      @Celestalon You said if we owned sig Lor'themar, both diamond and sig Grand Magister, we will receive two random legendaries from march of the Lich king today at 10:00 AM PDT. But, I still have not received yet.

      • Chadd Nervigg

        @yanmyomaw1 Not quite. If you owned them at that time, then you will receive the compensation later this week.
