Tavern Trivia starts Saturday, November 4 at 5:45 p.m. PDT. Check out the familiar faces participating below.
Underwater type expansion i believe
LOL the best upside to marin would be that it is even playable outright. More likely that it will be something funny to play with won't be competitive, just like ETC. Fun to have the board effects go off and whatnot but really the power chord card you get is pretty awful.
Oktoverbrawl ended at twitch con, and you get nothing for supporting either team except to keep the card backs.
It is over and you get nothing for supporting any team.
Twitch prime is giving a golden pack after November 3
Wow, so much great stuff.
Probably just like Elite Tauren Chieftain, you can just craft it instead of getting it for free.
Perhaps immediately, perhaps in like a year from now
but Marin will be wild, so i dont care.
Can we craft the new legendary card?
Possible. But there are many possibilities. It could be like ETC - a joke card. Or it could be a good legendary, or even a core one to the set like C'Thun. It could be craftable only as a regular, or both golden or regular, or it could be (again) like C'Thun where everyone is given the regular. It's hard to assign a dollar/dust value to getting the golden because it's hard to assign probabilities to any of these.
I HIGHLY doubt they would make it a card core to a set. It would be a giant "fuck you" to so many players. I could see it being a good card or a funny one, but they wouldn't make it a C'thun, It'd be a terrible design decision (whihc, admittedly, isn't uncommon for blizzard in HS), but it'd be terrible for PR, and they aren't dumb enough not to realize what a negative impact that would have on peoples view of them.
It could be like a c'thun core card, and everyone gets a normal copy but only virtual tickets get a gold copy. IF that was the case I would be dissapointed if I had bought a virtual ticket.
Nah man it's going to be something cool like "turn all your cards golden" or something like that
Any idea when we might get the announcement for the next expansion?

Thanks man!
So, by my calculations, 21.00 Moscow Time.
Thanks man!
Whatever marin does i hope a regular version can be crafted as soon as the golden one can be redeemed.
Marin is probably a legendary from next expansion so you can get him from packs or craft
