Two New Bundles Available In Shop Until April 5 - "Classic" and "Golden Classic"
I think it was during game’s release patch, in March 2014. So a few months before Classic format takes from (June 2014).
Patch 20.0 is live - Classic Format, Nerf Reverts, Duels Update And More!
The format isn’t very popular and I’m commonly hearing that people dislike it.
But of course different people like different things, that’s how it works. The more options we have, the better ๐

It’s the same card for Wild and Classic, you don’t need to own two separate versions.

Oh I’m sure that they’ve missed a lot ๐ If they found a gamebreaking bug before launch then they would focus on fixing it first, so it’s the bugs they HAVEN’T found that we should be afraid of most.

You’re 100% right about the first two points, but I’m also not sure about the third one. I can’t find that information anywhere.

I should have worded that better. It’s your last chance to complete them if you still want extra XP. They will still, of course, be in game and you will still be able to complete them just for achievement points. I fixed it.

You can’t open regular Mankrik from packs, only Golden.
But you’re still technically right – if you find Golden Mankrik, then you can turn it into any Golden Legendary or 2 regular Legendaries.
However, keep in mind that’s only correct for launch, when full Dust refunds still last.

For that reason I just ignored them. I finished like 1/5 of them while just playing the game and don’t really care about the rest. They don’t give that much XP anyway.
I think that you should be able to finish them in unranked, but I disagree about friendly games. You could just set it up with a friend (or alt account) and finish the hardest ones very easily.

Yeah, it’s a huge launch and it’s a bit confusing. I’m writing a roadmap for what launches when right now, should be up very soon!

Honestly, it heavily depends on what archetypes you like to play. If they were supported by the Darkmoon Faire mini-set, then it might be nice to get it.
But long-term, I’d probably get 40 packs from The Barrens and save 2k gold for Barrens mini-set that will come out in ~2 months. Darkmoon Faire will stay in Standard until 2022, Barrens until 2023, so an entire year longer.
It’s hard to answer this question without knowing way more details.

Haha, CET is my time zone, so it would be weird to not include it ๐ Most of our viewers are from US and Europe so when we have both PT and CET, it’s either “their” time zone or they can easily calculate their own based on those.

Just to be precise, it’s much better than Keleseth effect, because it buffs the board and hand too. Keleseth only buffed deck.
This is Keleseth’s effect PLUS Smuggler’s Run effect PLUS Mark of the Lotus board-wide +1/+1. All in one.
It’s more like Mistcaller, but 2 mana cheaper… and still better, because it affects board too.
Forged in the Barrens Rewards Track: How Good Is It and What You Need to Do!
They probably did some research and decided that the gains will be bigger than losses this way in the end. But hopefully they will experiment with Tavern Pass in the more expensive pre-order. We had pre-order values change many times over the years, after all.

I think you misunderstood it.
They promised events that will give extra XP in the old rewards track, before revamp. The plan was for rewards track to give less XP and for it to be bumped by the event rewards to the current levels.
But people didn’t believe Blizzard about events plus complained that XP shouldn’t be tied to events, so they reduced the necessary XP to hit level 50 INSTEAD of doing XP through events.
So what they did is a bit like giving people all the XP events, but without events. Instead, events gave regular stuff like packs.
And I’m not arguing whether it’s a good approach or not – just saying that they delivered exactly what they said they will deliver. And honestly, I don’t have much to complain about when it comes to new rewards system. Especially now with 100 levels instead of 50 for “base” part, progression should be quite smooth and rewarding. Now the only thing I’d really tackle to make HS actually F2P friendly is even more rewards for new players (because regulars can already more or less keep up) and an upgrade for the Dust system.

Well, it depends on whether you want to finish them for the Darkmoon Faire or the Barrens rewards track. Unless you haven’t hit level 50 in the current track, I think that saving them for the new one is a better option.
I’d probably finish just enough to hit next level (e.g. if you have 1k XP I’d do one Quest to get 1.5k) and leave the rest for new rewards track.
But ultimately there isn’t much of a difference there.
I’m pretty sure it’s a visual bug, other players are experiencing similar thing.
