Arena

New cards as arena rewards?

I heard a rumor a while ago when the first wing came out that you could get the exclusive cards as arena rewards instead. And personally i don't play arena, but i would rather play arena and randomly get a chance to get these cards, even if it's low, than pay money for something i would only end up playing once and never touch again...i don't know why people like this format of locking cards away like this...

  • I don't know about obtaining them as rewards. Perhaps a good check would be whether anyone ever got adventure cards as rewards years ago for past adventures. I don't recall seeing that ever happen.

    Certainly the new cards can be drafted and played before they are obtainable, so maybe someone mis-read that and spread misinformation that way?

    In any case, the number of arenas you would have to do to have a tiny chance of getting them makes it a horribly inefficient way to get them, especially if you aren't normally an arena player. Better just to spend the gold on the adventure at that point.

      At least with playing arena i would have a different experience every time playing it. More value from it than buying the thing i'd only play once

        Sure, and you get the usual rewards too. But I would assume you would already play arena quite a bit if you considered that the best use of your gold.

        If you don't consider 150 gold to be worth it normally, the tiny (and I do mean tiny because it is from a pool of ALL standard cards, and most of the time you don't get an individual card in the rewards) chance of getting an adventure card as a reward is unlikely to change that.

  • that's a bug thing.

     

    The unreleased adventure cards showed up both from random effects as well as arena rewards for some reason. It's not intentional
