Technically yes. For example when I opened some saved classic packs 2 days ago I immediately opened Ice Lance, Doomguard, Azure Drake. That is, provided you never opened and disenchanted those former HoF cards in the past
Although I agree with the reasoning, I believe this should have been clearly stated as such by Blizzard.
Also, I know that the 2 above mentioned legendaries were, at their time, obtained through special promotions - this was clearly mentioned in their flavour text, when the cards were part of the HoF set.
But now the flavour text does not say the "special promotion" thing anymore. Why?
I find this confusing, especially since I purchased the classic bundle based on the idea that I will eventually be able to get these 2 missing legendary cards.
I am only saying that Blizzard should have said something like: Gelbin Mekkatorque and Elite Tauren Chieftain will still not drop in classic packs, even after the big changes take place. So players know what they are about to get or not. No harm, no foul, I wouldn't have purchased the classic bundle in that case.
It is not an issue of fair or not fair, it is an issue of communication not clear enough.
Absolutely agree. It’s just bad PR on their part and bad faith to not mention this. It seems they’re more focused on new customers than older established fans. Sucks.

Hi all,
I have a complete former classic collection and I am only missing 4 legendaries from the former Hall of Fame.
I would like to buy the classic bundle,
Will I receive 2 of the 4 missing legendary cards right away? And, the rest, from opening my approx. 60 packs (by chance, of course)?
An official source link/confirmation would be absolutely great :)
I am asking this because I know there have been all kinds of problems in the last few days.
Thx a lot for reading :)

Just purchased the classic bundle and got Ragnaros the Firelord and Sylvanas Windrunner :)) so it works.
Can also infirm the above comment (although thanks for replying!), I previously disenchanted both cards when they were moved to HoF.
Just got Sylvanas and Edwin (if that counts) from my saved Classic Packs seems good
Update:
As said before, I have a complete former classic collection and I am now only missing 2 legendaries from the former Hall of Fame.
The missing legendaries are Gelbin Mekkatorque and Elite Tauren Chieftain.
I opened classic packs and the first legendary I got was not one of the 2 missing ones, but instead a duplicate Alexstrasza.
Any thoughts? Should I report this to Blizzard?
Thank you!
Literal same card and same situation for me. I’m missing the same ones. Either it’s a bug or a really weird coincidence....
Ok, found this one:

What do you guys think?
