If you've been like us and have been wondering what the rarity spread is in the upcoming Ashes of Outland expansion, wonder no more!
- The Demon Hunter cards take the place of some Neutrals.
- Demon Hunters see 3 extra commons and 2 extra rares over the other classes in Ashes of Outland.
- Nothing else has changed with the rarity distribution.
- We remain at a total of 135 cards in the set.
We've put together a chart to better showcase how the rarities are distributed.
| Set | Basic | Common | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Demon Hunter | 10 | ||||
| Demon Hunter Initiate | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | |
| Ashes of Outland Demon Hunter | 6 | 5 | 2 | 2 | |
| Ashes of Outland Other Classes | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | |
| Ashes of Outland Neutral | 19 | 3 | 3 | 5 |
Quote From Chadd Nervig The addition of Demon Hunter cards comes in place of Neutral cards. However, more than that, it also affects the Rarity distribution within Neutral. We wanted to keep the overall Dust value of the set close to the same as previous sets; we're not at all trying to make the game more expensive (quite the opposite, see duplicate protection, free decks, etc.).
Here's the actual breakdown of rarities in each set.
Demon Hunter Basic: 10B
Demon Hunter Initiate: 8C + 6R + 4E + 2L
Demon Hunter Ashes: 6C + 5R + 2E + 2L
Other Classes Ashes: 3C + 3R + 2E + 2L
Neutral Ashes: 19C + 3R + 3E + 5L

Exactly. Looking at the distributions, you're guaranteed to have two copies of every rare and common by around 70 packs at most, whereas there have been times in the past where I've bought both pre-order bundles (130 packs) and still had around 20 rares missing by the end of it.
