Baah, heroes... The only cosmetic stuff I'd be willing to give money for would be a couple of good looking card backs that I missed in the past.
You have way less from cardbacks compared to heroes which include a cardback.
The hype for cardbacks is so random. You barely see your own cardbacks in any form.
This is likely why they'll never bring out a cardback that you have to pay for outright. Obviously there are ones that come with the prepurchase bundles, but those come with something else in which you're getting your money's worth from. I wish your cardback was more prevalent in the game since the only time you get to see your own is that little top half of your deck. I wish it was like MtG Arena, where your deck was sitting off to the side and you could see your cardback in all its glory. However, I understand that given the way Hearthstone is designed, that may not be possible.
It shouldn't be too hard to let the deck be flat on the table on computer or on bigger tablets, from a design perspective.
Medhiv is tempting just because of how much I despise Jaina. B
Wow, a $3.50 saving...
So much sale.
Are you expecting execution sales or something? that's a 35% price cut, which is huge
It's a 35% discount. What is the meaning of sale then?
Putting up the prices 100% and then discounting them by 75% like on a lot of Black Friday items for example?
In the US at least it is 30% discount, but yes, it is a great offer. Like Flux said, it is basically a buy 2 get 3rd one free.
If you want all three, its almost like you're getting one for free.
There are definitely better options around now though.
I bought Alleria and don't regret it, despite the price *shrugs* She's my favorite skin.
The one I've always wanted.
Mage -- I'd rather grind for 1K Jaina (+/- 350 wins away) or wait for Khadgar to be offered again.
Hunter -- I don't play much hunter, but neither impresses me. Alleria is annoying, and so is Rexxar.
Warrior -- Too bad that class fell out of the meta. Magni is ahead of Garrosh, and the video of Lord Prestor aka Deathwing wasn't impressive. Mr. Chu would be awesome to import though.
I have Medivh because it came as part of a deal when I bought a DVD of the Warcraft movie. Never thought it was worth it to spend money on these things before. Blizzard came to the same conclusion apparently, because they haven't introduced any other shop heroes since.
I would like to get that medivh because he is the best looking mage portrait I have ever seen. But 7 bucks is too much just to get a cosmetic.
Lets be real here, the best looking mage portrait ever released is the one awarded for winning a thousand ranked games with mage.
Change my mind!
The artwork is amazing, but something about Medivh's dark theme is so appealing to me. Also his raven aesthetic is cool. And we get new voice lines and animations.
But hey, to each their own.
(No seriously, I like Medivh the most, but if you like the 1k win Jaina skin then there's nothing wrong with that)
I have both and only use Medivh. I got it as a gift, offered buy friends after 500 wins with mage. I really like the "dark" aspect of it. Card back is cool also. As for 1k wins jaina, the art seems unbalanced/unproporcionate. Kadghar seems the most interesting, or just because it is more rare. Kadghar >= Medivh > 500 Jaina > 1k Jaina
All that said, money in portraits only seems kind of waste
