Card Pack Changes Coming - No More Duplicate Legendaries
There are a few changes coming in the future, that are not yet live, to how we obtain cards in packs.
These changes will go live with the next expansion.
- No more duplicate Legendary cards. Once you've crafted or obtained a certain card (gold or normal), it isn't possible to obtain again until you've earned all the legendaries from a set.
- You will get a guaranteed Legendary within the first 10 card packs of a new set.
- It will not longer be possible to open more than 2 of a Common, Rare, or Epic card out of a single card pack. You can still obtain dupes in other packs of course.
Ben Brode states in the video that the team is "super excited" about the changes in "the context of our next expansion". It sounds like we may be getting some pretty awesome Legendaries and we won't have a repeat of what happened with Un'Goro.
- If we get another 50 card pack pre-order, that means you'll be certain to get 2 Legendary cards.
- You can buy bundles during the sale, and if you delay opening the packs until the new expansion arrives, they'll benefit from the new system. (Source)
Additionally, a special promotion is going to be run starting soon which will increase the number of packs you will receive when purchasing Un'Goro Packs.
Original Pack Bundles | Special Pack Bundles |
---|---|
7 packs | +2 packs = 9 packs total |
15 packs | +5 packs = 20 packs total |
40 packs | +12 packs = 52 packs total |
60 packs* | +18 packs = 78 packs total |

Quote from BlizzardWAAAH, Legendary!
Starting with the release of Hearthstone’s next expansion (but applying to ALL Hearthstone card packs), every time you open a Legendary in a card pack, it will be a Legendary card from the same set that you don’t already own. Once you own either the golden or non-golden version of a Legendary card, you won’t get a duplicate of it until you own all the Legendary cards from that set. Soon, you’ll be able to craft a Legendary without the worry of opening it in your next few packs!
In addition, you will never open more copies of any card in a pack than you can use in a single deck—no more opening three or more of the same common, rare, or epic card in one pack!
Even More Legendary!
Beginning with the release of the next expansion, you’re also guaranteed to get a Legendary within your first 10 packs of a new set. The release of a new Hearthstone expansion is a super exciting time, and with this change we hope your pack openings start off on a celebratory note!
Combined, these changes should make the pack opening experience more exciting than ever—especially when you see that flash of gold heralding a Legendary card!
The Greater Crater Promotion
Elise Starseeker and her junior explorers have stumbled upon a fascinating discovery: a crater full of card packs! Starting in the next few days, we’re having a special limited time promotion for Journey to Un’Goro card pack bundles: the price stays the same, but the number of packs gets dino-sized!

*60 card pack bundle size available only on PC.
Like i sayd i don't own a complete collection and i know im not even close to having all the cards but i have 100% of commons 90% of the rares 33% of epics and 24% of legendaries and i got all those cards by being ONLY paying for welcome bundle , doing my 3 quest in 3 day intervals and reaching rank 5 -10 depending on my luck and time /season with an average winrate. Now while not having all the cards i can't play all the fun decks i do have a versatile collection and can make most of the competitive decks that are on ladder .
And collection game or not , im sorry but people do pay for magic the gathering /dual master/yu gi oh cards the difference is that this is digital but regarding that even if the card dosn't have a physical form atleast this way each legendary cost is the same and the cards will be intact even after hours of play.Where as in the other case i had to laminate my cards since you cant have a deck with some laminated and some non laminated cards just so i can keep the cards in good condition through the years of game time.
Finally nobody is forcing you to pay ,you can be a F2P like many others,the major problem the game has is with new players starting off and they have no way of getting cycled out wild cards
Whelp, there goes my money! Just when I was trying to save for building a new PC...
bla bla bla bla bla bla, next set release, bla bla bla bla bla
but when?
An expansion comes out every 4 months. Simple math will tell you when will the next one come out. C'mon, you can do it :)
So basicly you wont be able to get golden version of legendary if you already have non golden?
R. I. P. golden legendariez in packs. (didnt even get one, but hey who says i cant get it)
It's kinda like I walked 2 miles to buy an apple for 2$, every day for 3 years.
But now that I've stopped eating apples (= barely play HS anymore), the store suddenly moved 1 mile closer to me and the apple became 1$ cheaper.
Like, it doesn't really make sense to not feel happy about this.
But it also kinda does.
I guess. A little.
They just want your money again LUL .
I was just joking LUL what a tryhard you are.
these rules are just giving a few more dust and a legendary to most people, it is almost nothing, its not like if opening a duplicate or more than two of the same card in one pack was so common, everyone should calm down and close their wallet because what they did is clearly making you all spend more money than you would have did, which is the only purpose of that tiny full time discount.
It actually does make a huge difference. I have about 30 different legendaries (55 if I count adventures) and I'd guess I opened at least 20 duplicates.
So I'm pretty sure that if it had always been like this, I'd have at least 20 more legendary cards and saved 30k+ dust.
i opened two duplicates in 3 years, you have just nu luck at all
FINALLY! Love this. Just wish it happened before I got 5 copies of The Boogeymonster....
They dont wanna see any drop in pre-order numbers looks like . Now they try to give people more hope for legendaries. Smart if you buy it.
Seems like the pressure is building at the headquarters? I wonder how many have left for Gwent. Still a great move from the devs.
None, that's how many. Yes, there is some ''real pressure''. A 70 million player titan card game got a ''new competitor'' which will end up like every other ''wow killer''. Just Google search the latest Blizzard's revenue report and you'll see that there is not even the slightest thing to worry about.
You do know that most of those 70 million are like 10-30 million who actually play right? Most of the players have 2 or even 3 acc+those who register but quit after a week or so.... none you say? Clearly you havent heard of LufeCoach JJPasak SuperJJ and etc... Those are famous streamers im not even counting the casual players of hs.... Why after 4 years of hs this is a thing now huh? A month ago Gwent became an open beta and now Brode suddenly started thinking about players.... cmon man stop being so naive
