Blizzard and Upperdeck, the company that originally printed the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, have teamed up to celebrate Blizzard's recent 30th anniversary with a set of "e-Packs".

What Are E-Packs?

  • They are digital card packs available for purchase on Upperdeck's website.
  • 24 cards per pack
  • 3 Variant cards per pack!
  • 1 Blizzard Vault card per pack!
  • Stunning inserts such as Reimagined Logos cards
  • A number of Autograph parallels from the artist behind the designs
  • The opportunity to complete the set to earn exciting Upper Deck e-Pack® exclusive achievement cards!

Additionally, you can collect and combine 3 copies of any individual Blizzard 30th Anniversary digital Base Set card to receive an e-Pack exclusive digital Gold Parallel card.

Additionally part 2, you can collect and combine 6 copies of any individual Blizzard 30th Anniversary digital Blizzard Vault card to receive an e-Pack exclusive Blizzard Vault Jazzy Parallel of that card with the ability to have the physical card mailed to you.

Here is what a 24-card e-Pack I opened contained:

Special Promotion

Collectors who complete the following sets on Upper Deck e-Pack® and elect to redeem them for the respective achievements will receive the following e-Pack exclusive cards with the ability to have those physical cards mailed to them.

The first 100 collectors to acquire a complete 21-card Blizzard 30th Anniversary Gold Parallel set and elect to redeem it will receive the Lost Vikings Autograph Achievement card #22.

The first 500 collectors to acquire a complete 21-card Blizzard 30th Anniversary - Variant set and elect to redeem it will receive the Lost Vikings Achievement card #8P and the Blizzard 30th Anniversary Avatar.

Collectors who acquire a complete 21-card Blizzard 30th Anniversary - Variant set and elect to redeem it will receive the Blizzard 30th Anniversary Achievement Avatar.

Free Blizzard E-Pack Daily

If you create an Upperdeck e-pack account on upperdeckepack.com, you can purchase a free pack seemingly every day in the store. You can choose the Blizzard 30th Anniversary from this.

  • The free e-pack only contains 8 cards, instead of the usual 24.

Here's what I received in my free e-pack.

The reverse of the cards tell you the game the character is from, and a description of them. This is Jaina's card from Hearthstone.

Are These Worth Buying?

Eh, if you want to grind out some of them to get physical cards mailed to you for collecting, sure. Otherwise, save your money because they have no use!
