Thank you, it’s really great to hear that! 🙂

They specify all the expansions from current Standard year in the description, so it’s hard to say.

Still, buying packs to open them 2 months later would feel terrible :/

I honestly wouldn’t mind getting cards from Year of the Raven if not for the cost. If we got 10 packs for the price, then it would be fine.

Yeah, I think that next week would be the most optimal. BG Dragons patch this week, Standard Year announcement next week, expansion announcement 2 weeks from now. This would be a nice way to spread the news but wouldn’t be too late.

(And while I more or less know what’s going to be announced, I have absolutely no clue when, hahah)

Hope it gets fixed soon. iOS players are really getting the short end of the stick lately. Every patch comes with some serious issues.

Hahah, I can’t read. Sorry, it’s indeed CARD BACK, not CARD PACK.

But the card back looks pretty sick so I don’t mind. https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/fa4111/anyone_see_this_new_cars_back/

I think the pack was giving you cards from all Standard expansions to begin with. They just put the wrong description on the blog post early. In the patch notes we’ve got shortly before the release, it was also saying Year of the Dragon, so I guess that was their plan before.

But I agree, I’m sure that many people who bought it thought that it’s only Year of the Dragon. Heck, if I didn’t check the patch notes again (or didn’t read the comments) I would have thought so too. I just updated the ones on our site.

I’m happy that they’re introducing Class Packs, because it’s a good idea. But I’m not happy that they’re changing ninja editing things like that AND that the packs are such low value for $10. Even Year of the Dragon cards were a hard sell, but Year of the Raven cards are nearly useless for someone who only plays Standard (and that’s most of the players) since they rotate out in ~1.5 months.

Yeah, I agree. I don’t really know why they didn’t sell 10 of them in the bundle for the same price.

In some of the previous bundles you could get packs for under $1+ a random Legendary for free. I know that it has cards from specific cards, increasing its value for players who are mostly using that class, but still.

Maybe they’re just testing waters and will do more Class pack sales at a better price in the future :p

A new type of pack, it can contain any card from Year of the Dragon expansions (RoS, SoU, DoD).

I think that they can still fit Dragons by just removing a bunch of other minions. But if they ever add e.g. Pirates, Elementals (or maybe even make a new tribe for BG) then I’m pretty sure that they will have to temporarily rotate one out.

Another thing is that four of the new minions are Tier 6, while no Tier 6 minions were removed. Between that and being able to go to T6 for one less gold, things might get interesting, since we have more choice and easier way to get there 🙂

We’ll see how it goes!

Honestly not sure? The guaranteed Legendary comes after 10 packs opened, and here are only 5.

Maybe it still has the 10 pack pity timer, which would heavily increase your chance to open it in the 5 too, but I don’t think it was confirmed. People will probably test it soon 🙂

EDIT: Okay, a mistake. It contains cards from any STANDARD set. In the patch notes they sent me earlier AND the ones they posted right away it said Year of the Dragon… Then it was edited later. Sorry about the confusion 🙁

What’s weird about that?

They only had a deal to move esports to YouTube, they can still do Twitch drops :p

It would probably be hard to implement, especially on mobile, but heck, I would also love to see it at one point 🙂

I’m saying that they will have to rethink their approach to Basic / Classic sets eventually for a few years now. I think the simplest thing they should do is to try to re-balance evergreen sets. Nerf some of the strongest cards, buff (or completely change) some of the weakest ones. It would still be a huge change and a lot of work, but I feel like it will need to be done eventually.

You’re right, I also thought about Malygos, but forgot to mention it. Since it hasn’t seen much play lately it would also be a bit weird timing to get rid of it now. Unless, of course, they plan to release some cheap damage spells that would potentially be too strong with it, or some way to cheat it out.

I’ll add it in the conclusion, thanks for reminding me 🙂

Not really “going on”, it already happened :p And I’m afraid that we can’t share anything about it.

I don’t really understand what do you mean by “looks fake”.

And you’re probably on iOS, right? “Copy deck” button doesn’t work on Apple devices, sorry about that. You can still copy a deck, you just need to select the code and do it “manually”. Our devs are aware of the issue and will try to fix that soon.

True, Wild format has a pretty different definition of “OP” than Standard 😀

That’s an interesting point! Someone asked the same question on the HS forums, but Iksar hasn’t replied yet.

Sorry, we just know that it ends on February 12, we don’t know what time 🙁 Blizzard doesn’t really add specific info like that. But I would assume 10 AM PST on Feb 12, that’s where the events usually start and end.
