A short while ago, different 'Tavern Special' card pack bundles started to appear in the in-game shop, and players have reported having different options offered:
- $10 USD for 1 Legendary and 10 Darkmoon Faire packs
- $20 USD for 2 Legendaries and 20 Darkmoon Faire packs
- $30 USD for 2 Legendaries and 35 Darkmoon Faire packs
- $20 USD for 1 Legendary and 25 packs (5 packs from Kobolds and Catacombs, Knights of the Frozen Throne, Journey to Un'Goro, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan and Whispers of the Old Gods each)
Head on over to the shop to see if you're a whale and have the $30 bundle available. Regardless of what bundle you see in-game though, the Blizzard shop contains the $20 USD 20 pack bundle which includes 2 DMF legendaries so if you aren't happy with your bundle, that is also an option. Sidenote: Flux was able to purchase the $30 bundle in-game and the $20 shop bundle at the same time. Your mileage may vary though so if you have any doubts, buy the larger bundle first!
The offer lasts through February 9, 2021, so you've got plenty of time to pickup your Tavern Special. Which one did you get offered?

I'd have been interested in the wild bundle as that's the game mode I play the most but its not available to me. What a strange way to do a bundle, it offered me the 2 legendary and dmf card bundle so thanks for saving me money I suppose! I don't need any dmf cards.
Someone enlighten me to the Whale reference.. should I be happy to be a whale?
It's a term used to describe the biggest spenders in mobile/subscription/microtransaction games
I assume because whales are big, and "big spender" has the word big in it
Also part of me wonders if the bundles are offered randomly or based on region and not this algorithm theory that people are on about
I think it is based on an algorithm, as I got the $30 bundle, and my BF's account got the $20 bundle and we both live in the same region/play to EU servers etc
So I guess I'm a whale too 😅 which would make sense as those expansion pre-orders are hard to say no to 😜
That still doesn't remove the possibility of it being random
I like the bundles, but it would be better to offer all bundles to all people. I was offered the $35. Interesting, though.
I got offered 5 Tavern Tickets for 5 bucks, which makes perfect sense coz I have a complete collection by virtue of playing a ton of Arena!
Blizz algorithm is quite clever indeed.
Ooh, that's very interesting and unique. And the kind I might go for myself if ever offered. Do you happen to have a screenshot?
Not clever enough! It offered me the $30 bundle of 35 DMF packs and 2 DMF legendaries. And I already have them all! No missing copies unless you count not having two legendaries in normal because I have them in golden.
They should’ve offered me the wild bundle. I probably would’ve taken that deal honestly!
I guess I'm a whale, since I got the $30 bundle. Just call me "Moby Dick".
"Mr. Dick, if you're nasty."
Same. Although, I was hoping for something different considering I already have every single Darkmoon card. That's something the algorithm doesn't take into account.
Same here! Wanted the Wild Bundle honestly!
Just FYI, I bought the "$20/2L/20 packs" bundle in the web store, and the $30 bundle was still available afterwards in the in-app shop. I don't know if they would have let me finish the purchase or if they'd have noticed that I already bought one tavern bundle.
As long as the offer in game is different from the web store offer you can get both.
i get the 2 Legendaries and 20 Darkmoon Faire packs
I want the 1 Legendary and 25 packs
I do not need more Darkmoon Faire packs
well I got the 35 packs bundle... problem being I would prefer wild bundle, because I have all standard cards...
This is actually one of the weirdest, and honestly scariest, deals I've seen in a while. Using algorithms to basically offer up deals based on the consumer's spending habits. Would've been nice to let us choose, because after the midset I'm feeling like 20 bucks is a little steep. That 10 for 10 and a legendary deal seems fair enough right now.
Also, its only been 1 week since the launch of the midset and here's another offer? And since we know from datamining that another one will be up for sale during the CNY holidays, that's yet another bundle coming right after this one. Why not spaced it out? Its not like there was any other offer up for grabs since last December.
I think it's random actually. I haven't preordered an expansion in a couple years and got offered the 35$ one. You can also get offered two separate ones on phone and computer.
Do not forget in February Going to be at least 5 Bundle
