you are comparing prices from promo to regular ones and not 70 but 80euros... for every expansion there was a promo for more packs and it always been 50euro for 70packs and once even 80packs if I remember correctly, so no... the "promo" bundle price increased!
Taking into account that you want similar packs number to be somehow competitive or just have fun you are going to buy bigger pack an pay more. So if every next expansion promo bundle will cost the same and I assume that it is going to be, it might be even higher price in the future.
So we would need to pay 240e instead 150e per year for same amount of packs. The only bonus thing is hero.

I think I buy both bundles
Don't do that! Don't spend hard earned money on this!
Don't buy anything and don't waste your money!
Why did they change the art of Witchwood Grizzly? It was so much cooler before.
I would love to play on my mobile blizzard but your update crashes my game
Should be fun to try this xpac out next January when i can dust some cards :)
Its 50 for the normal and 70 for the mega bundle
It's right! pay $70 and get only 3 or 4 Legendaries and be forced to buy, more and more packs? NO BLIZZARD, Thanks, but I dont buy this time.
I'll pay if I can had all the cards, or at least an 95% of them, but with these packs I only get 65% cards, so, I'll pass.
Except getting either bundle gets you a golden legendary, your first 10 packs will contain at least one legendary, and you will likely get one of the legendary spells for free for beating the pve content. 80 packs will give you enough dust to get whichever cards you want, if you don't open them already.
I miss the adventure expansions that costed gold to open wings per week and get the full card colection ...
Blizzard , at least make that once per year to save some money !!
And give mecha Jaraxxus , Tyrante and Kadghar also available to buy them as Medivh !!!
3 expansions mean more cards for us and they still include single player content
They shouldn't make the heros available.
But the adventures were, at most, 45 additional cards. They got stale a lot quicker than an actual expansion, not to mention the meta hardly changes with such a small pool being added. So then you have about 8 months of the same meta which statistically reduces your player base. It is not difficult to get the same amount of cards, with the same amount of gold, from packs.
Misread this... Thought you said you were licking the new Lemonade card back, had to do a double-take due to the odd mental image that created.
"THIS GAME IS GOING TO COST MONEY?! FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS!"
I see this literally every time an expansion is announced
I'm liking the new Lemonade card back
Dayum, that lemonade cardback is SEXY
... I'll take a gin and tonic with a lemon squeeze, please
Greedy BLI$$ARDstone continues... LUL
It is also so funny to read all these posts from fanboys, approving their price policy.
Ah, so I assume you think it should cost nothing?
Quite the opposite. I think that it shouldn't be "free" to play. Every expansion should cost money to all people who wants to play it. But the price must be much lower. And the person, who pays it, gets access to all the cards from this expansion.
