I suspect we'll get to see numbers closer to the reveal of the next expansion, if not during the reveal. At that point all the math can be done (if Blizzard didn't provide it all) and feedback can be heard.
If Dean thinks this is going to be just as good as today though, that's a pretty big stance to take publicly (Ben Lee has as well) so I see no reason why they aren't behind honest. I don't think the player base would forgive them if it wasn't truthful
I'm very disappointed they aren't pushing digital copies with the purchase. It would be an amazing way to boost the sales and make paper look even larger than it is.
Though, I do agree, they should just make this available as a purchase in MTG Arena itself. It would have to be a bit cheaper, though you would get a full playset since they are cosmetic skins, so it wouldn't be too cheap. I'd love myself some Eldraine lands or those SUPER SEXY Theros gods they put out during the world champs last year.
I think the ban and suspensions is important though. Keeping the games 1:1 makes it very easy to transition between them. Magic already has a lot of rules and is quite a complicated game so adding more confusion into the mix doesn't seem like a great idea. Definitely one of the more unfortunate downsides to their digital format since it doesn't feel very digital.
Now that's a great goal idea! Would be nice to have that immortalized in an email that also tells you about how many Murlocs were played that month. =D
Not sure why you believe we're talking about a different timeline of events. The only reference is with the quote from a Blizzard Employee saying it was only supposed to be available during a short window during Scholomance pre-release (they are certainly mistaken and which is why it was brought up)
I've made a dedicated section for European Merch. This is also linked at the top of the Merch Store under "European Catalog". Anything there will ship from Europe.
For other countries around the world, fulfillment is only in the US and Europe (Though Stickers and Mugs can be fulfilled in Australia too) so if you're worried about import taxes, my suggestion would be to only order an item to possibly skirt through the customs process. For what its worth, when I ordered samples of everything, they came from the USA and I wasn't charged any import duties when they came over the US/Canada border. I also received each of my items one at a time which was sorta frustrating, but that likely helped with that too.
Fulfillment is either in the USA, Latvia, or Spain. It will ship from the closest available source unless it happens to be out of stock. I wish there was a way we could automatically display that information to everyone because I know how much import taxes can suck.
Thinking about it though... I could probably set it up so we had different products based on your region. I'll have to dig into that.
Our supplier, unfortunately, ran out of totes sometime between yesterday morning and now, so they automatically went out of stock on our store. RIP that opportunity :P
I would LOVE to do pins. I've got hundreds of them myself and it's something that we might have to run some form of a Kickstarter for them to see if we could make it happen. It isn't possible to do low batches of pins since the tooling for them is expensive and they require minimum quantities.
One day, we will definitely have pins. I have no clue when we'll be able to make that a reality though.
Our lovely mascot, Derpcorn! It defines what we want out of HearthStation and what we like in the greater Hearthstone community - majestic playfulness. Hearthstone is a game, and games are meant to be fun. We want to encourage and spread fun to help make the Hearthstone community more inviting.
I definitely agree that more can be done with it. The primary goal for the initial push was to give people an option to grab some swag with the mascot on it because in a survey, quite a few people had responded they were interested in exactly this. I know on a personal note though, I don't really just like wearing logos of things outside of maybe if one was to go to a specific event and it fit in there well with the crowd.
Creating a unique style, incorporating the brand in different ways within those styles is a more long-term goal with what kind of merch we're going to offer. I'd like to create stuff that isn't just tied to the site but rather the card game genre in general. Some stuff might end up being really far out there and over the top while other stuff may be more subtle. Launching different collections of products overtime will hopefully bring out stuff people of all sorts of types will be interested in.
It's also funny that you mention seasonal logos though. This was actually a big design decision for Derpcorn back when it was originally created and I hope we can get on that train for the events towards the end of this year. Halloween just has too many options and the end of year festivities also gives us some fun potential for mascot upgrade. Playing dress-up = yessss!
I was very disappointed to see that they didn't add all the new portals we've seen since Karazhan. I thought that was the only reason they decided to bring this brawl out from the grave. They must have just flipped a coin to figure out what old brawl to bring back for this week.

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the dropdown to show the ML in brackets. For ease of reference for anyone who hasn't cruised on by yet:
Personally love the larger 15 oz. Makes for good hot chocolate :D

Damn, I wish I had of thought of that one, HentaiLover.
See, that would just be too smart. I miss the days of the Unicorn Priest hahaha

Hey Vandaren!
I wrote about Derpcorn a while back, March of 2019 to be exact, in our "Welcome to HearthStation" article.

Although the description only applied to Hearthstone back then, we have the same idea for other titles covered.

Maintenance has concluded. Sorry for the additional time!
Super disappointed this is being postponed :( Always encountering problems, the story of my life
It feels so real that it hurts

Super awesome to hear!
That. Is. AWESOME! Congrats on the sweet loot
With a pack on averaging giving you ~103 Dust, it's worth closer to $16 per legendary!
I probably should include that in the main post.
