Yes, we will.

Divine Spirit and Northshire Cleric are Basic cards, not Commons. You don’t get any Dust for Basic cards since they’re free 🙂

You get 5560 Dust (160 Dust, or 4 commons less than you calculated) if you own normal (non-golden) copies of all of those cards.

You always get Dust for a full playset, so 1 for Legendaries and 2 for Commons/Rares/Epics.

1x Normal and 1x Golden is still a full playset, so you will get Dust for both. I will clarify it in the post.

That’s really crazy 😀 The most unlucky I’ve ever been with openings (at least from what I remember) were seven copies of Wrenchcalibur in ~120 Rise of Shadows packs. I mean, at least the card has seen play, but 2 copies were enough – in the new system I would get 5 other Epics instead.

Legendary duplicate protection is “shared” across both normal and golden version. If you already have a regular version of a Legendary card, you won’t open a golden version of it and vice versa. If you hit a golden Legendary, it will be a card that you still don’t own at all (UNLESS you own all of the cards, then protection disappears and you get random cards once again).

That’s why people recommend that if you want to have a golden version of a given card, you should craft it before opening packs from a new set – this way you won’t open (a useless) regular version anymore.

So I would assume that the same thing will happen to different rarities. Which also means that golden cards won’t show up more often or exclusively in that case.

They didn’t say that they are golden, so I would assume normal (because they would definitely mention golden cards for extra points from community).

Technically you can still get it after you open every other card from the same rarity (then duplicate protection goes away and you start opening random cards again). But in practice, yes, if you disenchant something you will most likely have to craft it to get it back.

If you logged in a month ago, then you sadly won’t qualify. You would need to be inactive for 4 months before yesterday (so since mid-November 2019).

We really rushed the last two giveaways, because Descent of Dragons gave Battlegrounds early access (so we wanted people to have it ASAP) and we’ve got Galakrond’s Awakening codes right before it was released. And people were still spamming for winners list 😀 I wonder how things will look now that we don’t have to hurry up.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ll still send codes a week before expansion’s launch so people who don’t win have all the time they need to pre-purchase, but things might move slower than during the last two 🙂

I don’t think we will get new ones. However, old ones are rotated to Hall of Fame for a full Dust refund – so you can use that Dust to craft the new ones if you want 🙂

Let’s just say that it was a long, long day 🙂

“Mar 1” is what I’m seeing on the official reveal schedule, but it’s obviously wrong. March 18 might make sense, but they might also have meant March 19 for example. We’ll see if they fix it tomorrow.

You play it one turn. It does nothing next turn. Then it wakes up at the start of the next one. But it obviously still can’t attack (unless it has Charge/Rush).

E.g. you play it on Turn 3, Turn 4 is skipped, then it wakes up at the start of Turn 5. Then it can attack on Turn 6. Pretty slow, but we’ll see how it goes – their effects seem really solid.

And I don’t believe that they can be interacted with in any way, including Reno.

They did not mention them not working after you climb higher, so I would assume that yes, they do.

His MMR getting lower just means that he will face worse opponents. So if anything, climbing back up will be easier after messing around on a rank floor 🙂 And then, after facing weaker opponents and having a higher win rate, he will quickly gain back the MMR.

It’s also a huge Zephrys buff, given that he can offer you Sacrificial Pact and you don’t even need to put it into your deck!

From what we know right now, only Basic cards will remain in Standard forever. But of course, they might change their mind and e.g. keep the Initiate set around too. We’ll see how it works 🙂

Updated for the Year of the Phoenix (2020) rotation!

Yep, soon!

I don’t post leaks unless they’re from “official source” – e.g. if Blizzard posts something too early (I feel like it’s a fair game then).

Even though leaks from other sources are often correct, I can’t really 100% confirm them so I decided to wait until official announcements.

Omega Devastator is not a Boomsday Project card 🙂 It was released in Rise of Shadows.
