Mini expansion?

There has been some interview recently with Cora and Liv Breeden, where they talked about Expansions Mini-Sets and two things caught my eye:

 

  • You will get cards from the mini-set via Madness at the Darkmoon Faire card packs.
  • Duplicate protection will guarantee if you've collected all the commons from Darkmoon Faire when the mini-set drops, you will get commons from the new mini-set.

So does this mean, f.e. if I buy the 80 preorder, is it good idea to open packs till I have all the commons and rares and keep the rest of the packs for this mini expansion? If so, how many packs do you think I should keep, so I could get all the common and rares from the new mini set? Or should I open all at once and buy the rest with gold when the mini set drops? What do you think? What would you do? Care to hear your thoughts.

Thanks :)

  • For maximum common & rare efficiency keeping part of the pre-order unopened is the best way, but unless you have a lot of dust to compensate the loss of epics and legendaries, it might not be the fun option. Not to mention that I personally might not have the patience to wait that long :D

    Besides, the new progression system will award you some packs anyway (in addition to the ranked rewards), so I'd reckon you're likely to get enough of those (or at least very close) for the entire mini set's worth by the time it goes live.
