Comments
To clarify, the events schedule and its rewards is as follows:
(Those marked with an * are shared rewards, i.e. you can only get 2 Year of the Phoenix packs at most from all those weeks altogether)
I should've probably been more clear about the fact that these are indeed a separate thing and EVERYONE should be watching, regardless how many packs they've already gotten from GM this season.
Extremely helpful, thank you!
But why the Masters Tour Orgrimmar rewards Phoenix and not Barrens Packs is beyond me.
Just so everyone is aware, there are drops for this;
