It's more than likely the name of the mini set. The next expansion should be Alliance-themed and I imagine it'll be taking us somewhere far away from the Horde so we can see how they're training so that when the third expansion drops, we have an all-out conflict.
It feels like a merch store item so it's possible we could see it available to the public. Not actually certain of that though, so don't quote me on it.
Inb4 someone quotes me in a reply to be funny. Not funny!
Giveaway tickets were supposed to no longer be purchasable 9.5 hours ago but we slipped a bit on that. Anyone that was able to sneak in a final ticket you'll be allowed to keep them but now they can no longer be realistically purchased.
We've got a large audit that needs to be done before winners are drawn and I'm not ready to do that right now; Today is patch day, there's an overwhelming amount of stuff to do and has been for some time so stuff is getting a bit jumbled.
As soon as the audit is complete, we'll have the winners messaged and posted here + on the front page in a news article.
Re: Achievements and no extra clues. This is my fault, it's just been a rough few weeks. I know it detracts a bit from the fun aspect of the event, but at least no one was given an advantage because we added them in super late.
Thanks for your patience, thanks for participating, and a good ol' FU to the people who were spamming the same content over and over again - you aren't intelligent since it was just a waste of your time and you aren't welcome here with that kind of attitude.
I like their thought process behind it, it would show that you own all those cards and you've got a sweet collection.
My assumption is that for the older sets, they will make it cards that people actually like to play with. If they made it crap cards, why would people want to finish their sets off?
I'm waiting for that sweet Kel'Thuzad Diamond Card...
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!
It is also worth pointing out that the winner might have to message the streamer to then confirm they are still in chat or simply say something in chat to win. I've seen so many people enter the word to join a raffle, leave or go afk, and then lose out on it because they weren't around to pay attention.
This makes idling several streams at once to win more difficult so if you do want to try and hit up multiple, definitely don't bother with a stream like Kripp's since your odds are already super low.
When we first brought out Tavern Crawl for Scholomance Academy it was done for two reasons:
Community Feedback - People hated missing commenting on forum threads.
More transparent process to earn site rewards.
Though both could be argued as the same thing, I like to think we could have just thrown up a page showing you non-commented threads and left it at that. Baking in the rewards and letting people see their progress, which admittedly can be an incentive to keep going, is my favourite part of it though since the question never gets asked again :D
Luckily, the whole thing is automated. Minus the initial setup where the rewards get created on the site, it never needs to be looked at again for the reveal season.
I'm glad you love it and I love that more and more people are using it to their advantage. It makes that effort last year worth it! Though I'd like to clean up the design of the page, its a bit more function right now over form :P
You can convert a deck from Standard to Wild. I believe you mouseover the deck name and a little thing pops open

Wailing Caverns is in the Barrens. It's a low-level dungeon in World of Warcraft!
There is indeed =)
That's exactly what this article is supposed to help people understand, that isn't the case.
If you queue with a wild deck, you get a wild deck opponent. Rinse and repeat for Standard and Classic.
Holy crap! That is amazing.
The first one was actually Eyes of C'Thun 5 months back!

I love the Scholomance shoes so much. I really want to wear them but I know how much of a disservice it would be to do so.
Still trying to figure out where that watch post is.
It's a 1000 piece puzzle!

You no take candle! So much room for treasures!
There's a couple of oddities. It's either a simple mistake or there's something more to it and there are clues to find something.
A few of us were trying to put something together to no avail. I should probably ask someone if it was a mistake.
Definitely not! That red flannel will be remembered forever.

We're going to need to wait until the patch hits. If they had the data on the API, I'd pull it all onto the site.
All cards are here now!
