This is your last chance to get the Scholar Jaina playable hero in the in-game shop via a limited-time bundle. We don't know if or when she will be available again.
The bundle includes Scholar Jaina's Hero and 5 Standard Mage packs.

I´m trying to buy every Hero bundle there is, tho not the expensive preorder ones, but just as most of us I´m kinda disapointed :( Back then I´ve gotten the Medivh hero by purchasing the WOW movie. It was 10 euros for the movie plus the hero with new voicelines, HP animation AND unique cardback. This is just 10 euro for.. gif and 5 packs. Well, sadly it´s a pass for me, even the completionist in me silently cries in corner :P
Same for me, I wanted to buy it but... this is underwhelming to say the least. I wanted to get it, but honestly, I rather use the 1000 wins Jaina as this one doesn't offer anything extra at all.
its a GIF. lets call it by its name.
the hero portrait unlike all others so far has ZERO new voice lines and doesnt have an unique Hero power design despite the fact that they recorded lines for the solo content AND actually used a new hero power animation. its bewildering
Think this is how everyone feels about this skin, just hard to understand how they missed the opportunity they already created.
This is the first bundle I've passed on. I could justify it even if it just had different voicelines, anything on top of that would have been a bonus, but paying for yet another Jaina skin, plus 200+ dust just isn't worth it.
The completionist in me is raging though.
I really don't see why they would make a new hero power animation and a new hero portrait for the solo-content, but then give this one the same animation and voice-lines.
Personally I don't care too much since I am not going to buy this, it just seems strange to me.
The completionist in me wants to get this, but it is hard to justify yet another Jaina portrait (I have the 1000 wins one) for $11 (I also have all the mage cards). If it had an alternate animation for the hero power (Iceblast) and/or different voices I probably would but as it is it is sadly a pass.
I definitely bought it for completion's sake. I can't chance the hero portrait never being available again.
I hope this whole thing was a word of warning though for Blizzard and I hope the sales reflected it. People want new voice lines if you're paying. This portrait honestly should have been a reward for playing the adventure in a Heroic setting.
I also agree on the Iceblast thing. Its so lame we aren't getting special effect hero powers =(

This is specially lazy from Blizzard because she got new voice lines is Single player mode and already have new looking hero power there.
Like Blizz is not even trying.
If they gave me chance to buy some skins that were used in Single player mode as hero skins (like Squeamlish) I would be thrilled to buy them.
And this is not huge effort from their side - they already have image, already have many voice lines recorded.
Its not like recording couple more voice lines if needed (probably no more than 4-5 per hero - for those special events) is beyond Blizzard budget.
Many other card games (Mythgard/ MTGA as example) use artwork they already gave as potential Avatar/Hero look.
Blizzard got tons of this because Hearthstone is quite old now and had lots of expansions.
Its totally beyond me why they do not release something like one skin per month/two months.
Yes they can be pay to get skinns. I am ok with this and ok buying some cosmetics.
I wonder if they just don't want to do this (but why they would not want to get more money) or maybe Hearthstone Code is so broken/weirdly coded that adding new skins is some really big work (if yes then its bad coding and use your thousands of dollars to fix this Blizzard).
I am really happy that we got now more CCG like Mythgard/Rutenera/MTGA because this give some hope that Blizzard would have to try little bit harder.
I do not bought Jaina pack, sorry Blizzard. I have almost all skins I had chance to get but this time its to cash grab thing to participate for me.
I know I’m in the minority, but I like this skin. I’m even happy that there were no new voice lines - With new audio, they probably would have made a $15 bundle instead, and then I would have passed.
