In a post on their PlayHearthstone Twitter (X) account, Blizzard has revealed the 12 cards we'll receive for the birthday celebration, starting tomorrow! Included within is a Harth Stonebrew Legendary minion, along with 11 "gift" spells, one for each class. These 1-Mana spells allow you to Discover temporary versions of specific cards from the class, including some that are Wild or will be rotating such as Wild Growth. Golden versions of the "gift" spells will also be available to receive from February 27th to March 19th.
Look below for each of the new cards coming for the anniversary:
Nicholas Weiss also tweeted that Malfurion and Anduin's Gifts also have an extra sidenote. Wild Growth from Malfurion's Gift is 2 mana, and Mind Control from Anduin's Gift is 9 mana, although the way his tweet is written implies that this cost reduction only applies to copies from the gift and not the base cards themselves. This may however be false.
At this moment, we're also not currently sure what an "iconic hand from Hearthstone's past" would amount to. It has been implied that you will receive a package of cards revolving around old combos and strategies of yesteryear, with a pool of possibilities, but that's purely based on speculation until we see it in action tomorrow.
What do you think of these anniversary cards? How do you feel about Wild Growth sneaking back into Standard? Let us know in the comments below!

Have to say, that a lot of these gifts are just plain bad and its hard for me to imagine them seeing any competitive play outside of highlander.
Nowadays hearthstone tends to be so fast that spending 1 extra mana to do something is usually not very good. Not to mention that these are temporary cards so I'd assume you cant just pick a card and save it for later use, ensuring that the 1 mana premium needs always be paid to use those cards.
So for 10 years we just get not disenchantable golden cosmetics of cards you get for free anyway? I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Okay.
Okay.
Gul'dan's face in the background of Illidan's gift. Reacting to seeing his own skull.
That's amazing.
So Rexxar gets 3 shots, but the art depicts a puppy? How does that work?
... REXXAR, NO!
