My question isn't like you interpreted it. To show any of them is the most efficent way to cut all the discussions about the leaks, because that would be a reason to claim that they were fake all along.

Blizzard doesn't show them, because it'd confirm the leak and we'd know not only 1 new, but 4 new legendary cards in a blink of an eye. To keep the hype train on the tracks, it's better to conceal the leaks as far as possible. 

To summerize it: 
Blizzard could create more hype by releasing one of the cards (if they were fake) to spawn new discussions about the "real" legendaries. And we all know, blizzard LOVES hype. There is not a single reason not to do it. 

But to answer your question: On the other hand, they can't let the leaks be confirmed, because it wouldn't be something "new" and exciting, because people were discussing about it already weeks ago. 

Let's agree to disagree on the card value stuff.  I made my postilion clear enough. 

I interpret the lack of confirmation in the opposite direction - they cannot confirm these are fake because then the hype would die.  Now we are hyping about these cards because we don't know whether they are real or not.  If they confirm these are fake, there is nothing left for people to speculate, 'cause you and me and others won't talk about these cards. 

If they show one of them to be fake, then people will believe the other are also fake and that is the end of the line - people hype based on something tangible, not wild mass guessing.  You don't see people hyping about the shaman legendary - why is that?  Because there is no information about it and people don't like wild guessing based on nothing.

It would. Or at least slow down, if the cards are real. If they show another legendary and these cards are fake, everybody would lose their shit.

While I can't speak for everybody, I've been assuming these are fake and wouldn't lose my shit. I also doubt that many people would lose their shit as well, considering that not everyone has seen this post. And maybe they won't show the real legendaries because they're just boring, and they get more hype from this than the 8 mana 4/10 taunt + enrage legendary warrior actually gets.

As one of the believers from the first hour, i want to thank our prophet Balckovic for fighting the infidels.

Inb4 all the people who posted it being fake, apologizing to the OP.

IMO they should.

I always believed Balckovic, so... ;p

GJ Balckovic :-)

Step 1: complete

Step 2: sit back and watch as people that said Flame Leviathan sucks get pwned by it and people that said Iron Juggernaut is OP realise it's worse than Boulderfist Ogre.  :P

thankfully auctioneer still draw cards though it costs more. I feel so happy that rogue players now have the new favorite prince toy in their arensal as a great addition.

I don't understand why there were so many no-brainers calling them fake without even having faith to believe considering the information we had.

They were real lol

Think of how confusing a card like flame leviathan would be for casual ipad ppl (blizzard's prime demographic)
