  These numbers are off, instead of "XP to level" and "Cumulative XP", you have "XP to next" and "Total XP". It takes 155200XP to get to level 100, not 156525.

  Additionally, this table only goes up to level 350, when there are 400 levels.

  Can we update this table please?

  I assume/hope if I open a regular or golden Varian, King of Stormwind or Lady Prestor during the preview weekend (or I get it as part of the Stormwind bundle), and then I get the card from the rewards track, I'll be able to dust the duplicate for a full refund the first week? That's how they handled duplicate Mankrik and Blademaster Samuro for Barrens (forum link), but I haven't found a similar announcement for Stormwind.

  I just opened my Stormwind packs and got Varian, so I really hope that's the rule, otherwise I just wasted 1200 dust by not waiting till Tuesday...

  Lady Prestor as the free legendary sure is a far cry from Mankrik. I guess they don't want to give a good legendary for us plebs anymore.

  How do you decide what makes a good legendary or not? You haven't see the meta at all. And for me personally, the effect of cheating dragon costs is already making the card above average. Cheating mana is always good, (sometime problematic).

  Imagine you could play Alextrasza battlecry at 3 mana.

  And free legendaries are always a good thing. One less legendary to craft.

  Mankrik is one of the most popular legendaries, with a really high win rate (so much that it was nerfed) and it's in a lot of decks from multiple classes. There is no way a card like Lady Prestor becomes meta or even good, outside some meme deck, there's no consistency to it. It's too random! At the same time you could get a Alextrasza at 3 mana, you could also get a 3 mana Nozdormu do nothing. And all of that is still dependent of you drawing and playing Lady Prestor at the earliest by turn 5 with coin. You still need a deck that can be competitive without that perfect scenario. What I'm saying is that they could've easily put a legendary that would actually be useful for f2p players like a Cornelius Roame or Varian.

  Mankrik is good by accident. He and Katrana are very similar - extremely memey cards and characters with memey effects but vanilla stats. It's just that Mankrik happened to be a useful card as well.

  Only 350 levels? Not 400?

  Blizzard greed at its prime...

  Well false alarm, it seems it was bad datamining because according to https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23686106 there is still 400 levels...

  I can't see the image you posted, but you can see it on the Blizzard page about rewards track update at PlayHearthstone.com

  While I wasn't expecting it to be the same artwork, I believe they have confirmed previously that the person featured in Judicious Junior is actually Tamsin.  If they didn't confirm it previously, this new Scholomance Tamsin hero portrait sure seems to.  Whether it was intended from the start or not, I personally love the tie in.

  Finally, Rogue gets another playable character.

  I noticed that too, surprising indeed!

  This might actually change my current opinion on whether or not I should complete the rewards track every time.

  Sad to say, it's back to 400 levels. (or is it happy?)

  My personal opinion would be sad because I will not reach the end of the rewards track. It just sounds better in my mind to claim I completed such a feat.

  However, I am happy for the bigger grinders out there, because they can still collect as much gold as before per rewards track.

  Why is that? I mean, why would you not complete the track, regardless of max level?

  Because it requires a considerable amount of playtime to reach the end of the rewards track. I have done it for the first track just to figure out if I could achieve it, but I had to increase my playtime by a factor of 3 at least. This time I will reach level 350 with less playtime, which means I should be able to hit the end of the third track with similar playtime.

  I believe you have it wrong. It should not be 

  • Choose One: Undercover Scabbs, Fauna Friend Guff, or Tamsin Triumphant Hero Skin

  But Chose One skin for free track and the 3 mercenary skins for paid track

  You're right. Bad datamining!

  This is wrong.

  It is indeed you get all three skins on paid track, but for the free track you receive a choice of a hero skin that is in a pool of 10.
