I think that you should get it, but you can write a support ticket with your question just to be safe ๐
(Although it might take a while to get a reply because of the current worldwide situation…)
Content Release Schedule - Priest Rework, Hall of Fame, Duplicate Protection, Ranked Rework, Demon Hunter, Standard Rotation and Ashes of Outland!
It’s a time zone. Google 10 AM PT and it should change to your local time zone.

Since new cards will replace cards of the same rarity, if you own the old one, you can just craft the new one with Dust you get from HoF ๐

I don’t really think it’s going to be 2 weeks, I think that it’s a one-time event. They definitely wouldn’t do it for 2 weeks, it would make no sense.
Tavern Brawl - Return of Mechazod!
Well, it’s the same Brawl, so the answer might be useful for someone else ๐

I agree. While we still have some goofy, HS-style stuff, cards like Priestess of Fury or Mok’Nathal Lion look like something straight out of MTG.

Yeah, that’s pretty much always the case. That’s probably the biggest F2P disadvantage in Hearthstone too – if you’re buying lots of packs, you can just craft anything without being worried that it gets nerfed (because you have so much Dust). And if don’t buy lots of packs, you go all in on a deck and it gets nerfed… well, that sucks :/
I hope that no dupe in packs rule will help F2P players at least a bit ๐

Not yet, but devs plan to give the class an actual Classic set in the future rotation, so they will probably give him a Classic Legendary then.
For now, he gets 2x Legendary from Ashes of Outland (rotating out in 2022) and 2x from Demon Hunter Initiate set (rotating out in 2021).

Thanks, fixed ๐

Players will still start at Bronze 10 (because that’s when we’ll start every season), but there’s some sort of conversion – your highest rank in March will be a base for your start multiplier bonus going into April. They haven’t shared any details yet, though – maybe they will tomorrow when the patch hits ๐

That’s actually a really good point, I haven’t thought about it. Activate the Obelisk Quest fits into the new Priest’s identity so well.

We don’t know exactly, but 10 AM PT is the standard release time. It’s usually within an hour of that. So that’s what I would expect.
Also, mobile release is usually a few hours later.

All of the Highlander synergies are from Year of the Dragon so they won’t rotate out. Adding another Highlander synergy would make them too strong.
Free New & Returning Players Decks - Pick One Out of 9 Deck Lists!
I know that it’s a little unfair, but that’s how life works, I’m afraid. However, you should know that in the long term it’s positive thing for anyone. The more new / returning players they bring, the longer the game will stay relevant, which should be the priority for all players.
I also have a bunch of friends that I’d like to introduce to HS but never could, because they don’t want to spend a lot of money to get into the game. With a free deck, they can easily get to feel the game with a solid deck without having to spend anything at the start.

When did they log in? If they logged in on March 17 or later, they will still get it.

I mean, they would never give someone a viable deck for every single class (because then pack sales would drop so much). So a new player would have to pick something anyway, no matter when it is. Casual players probably won’t care what’s best and will pick the class they want. And those who care a bit more will google it and e.g. find this post ๐
And the most likely reason why they didn’t wait and build competitive Ashes of Outland decks is that because they don’t want them to be TOO competitive. I think that those are meant to be a “starter” deck for new / returning players, Blizzard still wants them to buy packs from new set and upgrade the deck with them ๐ I would hope that they will update them to include Ashes of Outland cards closer to Expansion #2 to keep them relevant.

It means that you get the cards just as if you crafted them or opened them in your packs. You can play them in other decks and yes, you can disenchant them if you wish to.
I feel that Mage is the best value, because you get two competitive Neutral Legendaries – Zephrys and Dragonqueen. And while someone would have to focus on Highlander if he wanted to take advantage of those, those cards have seen play in non-Highlander builds too (especially Zephrys).
Replicat-o-tron
It does not. It’s just another wording for “adjacent minion” or “minion next to it”. It was already used on some cards, e.g. Supercollider.
Although I think that the card would be more interesting if it also affected opponent’s board ๐
Mobile updates are always coming out a few hours later, I’m afraid.
