cool!

I would really love to get the golden cardback.

That Molten Core back is just awesome!

Still salty about that gold Chinese card back. 

I wonder if you can pre-order with gold, or if this is more encouragement to spend real money to get a vanity item (in addition to the in game value). 

♪Gotta collect them all♪ Hearthstone!

I didn't join first season so I don't have a full collection of card backs anyway; but I can completely understand why people would be upset about there being a china-only back and I hope Bilzzard makes it available elsewhere for other occasions 

I understand everyone's wish for this being a completionist myself, but I find it more exciting to have elements in a game that are unique to specific people and achievements. Otherwise it feels too much like little league where everyone gets a trophy just for participating.

Does anybody else think they'll award one of the class cards to each class right away after ordering and distribute the other class card like they did in Naxx?  If I remember correctly, they weren't entirely happy with some classes having to wait until the end of the adventure to obtain their class cards.  Doing it in a split manner might be a better compromise.

So, buy all the wings and get access to two copies of one class card for each class immediately.  Complete the class challenges to get the other cards?

Why there is only 31 card, if every class will get 2 cards? It should be 40

pushing more class cards usually indicates bigger meta shifts .. you give classes their new unique tools which is pretty cool.. if we got huge amount of neutrals most of the dragon decks would look pretty similar for example no matter what class run em

Why does it have to add up to 40?

9 (classes) * 2 (cards each) = 18 class cards.

18 + X = 31 total cards, so 13 neutral cards in the expansion.

17 bosses (17 neutrals) + 5 wings (5 legendaries) + Every class gets 1 Com and 1 Rare (18 more) = 40 cards

I see where you're coming from now.  They'll have to distribute the cards differently than they did with Naxx in order to make the numbers work, for sure.

Will see..

tl;dr of Zeriyah and Ben's linked comments:

• There's 18 class cards. 9 Will come from the class challenges.
• It is safe to assume the rest will come from bosses, since each class has one rare and one common, and the wing completion rewards will be Legendaries.
• That leaves us with 13 neutral cards from bosses, and 9 class cards from bosses.

To be more exact, 9 from class challenges and 31-9=22 cards left which are 17 from bosses + 5 from each completed wing. And indeed, the rest of the class cards will be given from bosses as well.

I really want to see the new cards and pricing before I the call.  Between my toddler and FFXIV I am running out of hours in the day. lol

The adventure is $24.99 USD. We will see all the cards before the adventure is released, so there's a good chance pre-orders will still be available as it has not come out yet.
