Are former Hall of Fame cards currently obtainable from opening Classic packs?

Hi all,

I have a complete former classic collection and I am only missing 4 legendaries from the former Hall of Fame.

I would like to buy the classic bundle.

Will I receive 2 of the 4 missing legendary cards right away? And, the rest, from opening my approx. 60 packs (by chance, of course)?

An official source link/confirmation would be absolutely great :)

I am asking this because I know there have been all kinds of problems in the last few days.

Thx a lot for reading :)

    • Yes, this is how it works exactly. Let us know the results.

  • Update: 

    As said before, I have a complete former classic collection and I am now only missing 2 legendaries from the former Hall of Fame.

    The missing legendaries are Gelbin Mekkatorque and Elite Tauren Chieftain.

    I opened classic packs and the first legendary I got was not one of the 2 missing ones, but instead a duplicate Alexstrasza.

    Any thoughts? Should I report this to Blizzard?

    Thank you!

    • those two are crafting only if i recall they never  were on packs, but maybe a mod can corfirm for us.

      • Ok, found this one:

        https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/can-captains-parrot-elite-tauren-chieftain-and-gelbin-mekkatorque-be-gotten-from-classic-packs-after-patch-200-goes-live/55910

        Although I agree with the reasoning, I believe this should have been clearly stated as such by Blizzard.

        Also, I know that the 2 above mentioned legendaries were, at their time, obtained through special promotions - this was clearly mentioned in their flavour text, when the cards were part of the HoF set.

        But now the flavour text does not say the "special promotion" thing anymore. Why?

        I find this confusing, especially since I purchased the classic bundle based on the idea that I will eventually be able to get these 2 missing legendary cards.

        I am only saying that Blizzard should have said something like: Gelbin Mekkatorque and Elite Tauren Chieftain will still not drop in classic packs, even after the big changes take place. So players know what they are about to get or not. No harm, no foul, I wouldn't have purchased the classic bundle in that case.

        It is not an issue of fair or not fair, it is an issue of communication not clear enough. 

        What do you guys think?

        • If the flavor text changed to reflect that they were a promo I'm assuming that was a mistake of the move from Hall of Fame and making them legal in Classic format. That should be fixed to avoid confusion if they are not in packs.

          If I remember golden Gelbin was for using the shop in beta. While golden E.T.C was an early blizzcon reward. Those should stay unique. That said the basic versions in packs for completion sake wouldn't be a bad thing. I am assuming they weren't also a promotion. If they were then the promotion tag needs to come back.

          I crafted both of these way back because I like wierd cards so if the info is wrong sorry, been a while.

  • Those two legendaries were never dropped from packs.

    They used to be part of a separate set called the "Reward" set, which later merged into Hall of Fame

    I think blizzard just assumed that all players, including new, would have somehow "remembered" that

    A reminder would have been nice, yeah, we can agree on that

    • I love how you put in quotations remembered XD

      bc that would be stupid to expect anyone to humanly possibly remember that and i've played since the beginning
