I mean, yeah? From what I can remember, March of the Lich King had DK leaked. Then before that, I think Bearon Gla'shear was leaked before Alterac Valley was announced. And before that, the logo for Scholomance Academy was leaked?
That's 3 leaks I can think of in the past 3 years, out of 10 expansions. It's certainly not "every expansion". This is also the first leak this year.
Nah, mini sets usually leave a few weeks before the next mini set, not the next expansion. For example, Wailing Caverns was in the shop for 20 weeks before leaving on October 19th, 2 weeks before Deadmines. Deadmines was in the shop for 12 weeks before leaving on January 25th, 3 weeks before Onyxia’s Lair.
This time Onyxia’s Lair will leave the shop after only 7 weeks, compared to the 12 and 20 week availability periods of the other 2 mini sets.
Besides if mini sets went away right before the next expansion, Deadmines would’ve been available for only 4 weeks lol.
Hold up, Onyxia’s Lair leaves the shop on April 4? That’s so soon. Aren’t they usually in the shop until a few weeks before the next Mini-Set launches? But this time it seems like it’s exiting the shop before even the next Expansion comes out.
Medivh playing Medivh isn’t weird because Medivh is an alternate hero, not a base hero. I think they have a strict rule that the 10 base heroes shouldn’t have minion counterparts, while alternate heroes are allowed to have them (Medivh, Maiev, Prestor, Vanndar, N’Zoth to name a few)
Very nice article, thanks!

Many diamond card animated images are missing from 2022 and later. Only cards up to Alterac Valley have diamond images.
Also Heart Strike (Mongoose Bite) and The Scourge (Servants of Undeath)
I understand not including Reward and Promo cards in packs, but keeping the replacement Classic cards as craftable-only seems like a weird decision.
Edit: Actually, Celestalon just confirmed that you can open those too. Nice. Should probably edit this article.
They usually leave on the brink of the next mini set, not expansion. For example:
Wailing caverns released on June 3rd, and left on October 19th. Stormwind launched in August.
Deadmines released on November 2nd, and left on January 25th. Alterac launched in December.

Not wrong. These exact changes have been leaked 2 times now, word for word.
That panther is a druid skin? Sick
Rapid Fire isn't a buff. It's a nerf to Odd Hunter.
