Skills of followers are the "play, strike, attack" cards that affects the opponent. Effects like draw a card doesn't affect the opponent so they are not skills.
You can see more cards that i didn't write here. Skills affect the opponent player so you can easily identify a card with a skill if it does something to the opponent like deal damage, destroy a unit, obliterate etc.
Aha! I was wondering why "draw 1" didnt have the "play" keyword.
Also, pity timer of the sets does not work with them
Pretty sure ppl reported it did work, so the pity timers are in fact tied to the type of pack, not a set itself, which makes sense ... Golden Classic pack has a separate one outside of regular Classic packs too (if there is any at all for it, but this latest blunder would suggest there actually might be).
I get that and i agree it would have been pretty cool to have it as a brawl reward, but then you would see posts about how unfair it was that someone got the legendary from the 1st pack and others didnt and how now they are "forced" to buy the bundle otherwise they cant get to the pity timer and so on and so on, ppl always find a way to complain about everything :D or maybe im just a pessimist :)
Maybe they are testing the waters how will players like a pack like this, they can then create different combinations down the road.
Tho that being said, they are mostly only good for new players (which is good) and to get your guaranteed legendary in first 10 packs. If you are a regular player, chances are you would rather get packs from the newest expansions, since whatever else is in a "year pack" you might already have, or at least it would be more than regular chance on a duplicate.
So in the end, while really a cool design, we are not losing that much here by not having them in the shop.
I totally agree that they could be doing more in the terms of exposure, having an arena ticket be a quest reward, similar to a Classic Pack, has been suggested for the longest time, but i also like your idea of having it in the season chest reward.
And while i would LOVE to have something similar to ranked season chest for arena, the problem is, that the top arena players would farm ridiculous amounts of rewards from such system, which to be honest, those players wouldnt probably even need, but i think that is what is stopping Blizzard from implementing such a thing. I hope they do it sooner rather than later, but they never did pay enough attention to the Arena in a first place. It got better in last 2 or so years, but it has a long way to go.
I wonder if they will try another big change to Arena as they did at the start of last year. A year worth of data must be enough to decide on the next step, surely. Could also be enough for them to keep it the way it is if they like where it is at, i suppose. But if any bigger change was coming, the start of the next HS year would make most sense.
And to anyone who thinks about applying to be part of our Content team, do it! We've been pretty lucky with our last round getting some amazing ppl on board, i hope we can get more of you <3
I say give it your best shot and we will see, worst thing that can happen is you wont be picked which is the same as if you didnt apply at all. So by applying, you can only gain.
That being said, the strong English skills might seem like a "snobby" requirement, but it is no fun to spend literally hours to edit an article week after week after someone ... might have as well written it myself and done it faster lol. That is not to say that such a person did anything wrong, it just creates a huge time sucking wormhole that no one really has time to get into, which i hope is understandable.
So in conclusion, dont be affraid to apply, we might like what we see, you never know. And if you dont get picked, dont get discouraged, keep using the forum or discord, engaging in a conversation with other members is about as valuable as writing articles! So good luck and thanks ;-)
It only works because the packs are treated as a new set, technically. Imo its an oversight on Blizzards part, or lazy coding (again). Thankfully, this time it benefits the player, so yay!

Looking good, tho Cosmic Breath = Avenging Wrath for 2 mana. And 2 Sidequests?:o
