Please stop complaing about Blizzard making this iOS only. The reason it's iOS only is because Apple teamed up with WWF to do an Apps for Earth promotion and Blizzard just took part in it. Purchases would have to be made on iOS devices just like any other app on the store that is also part of the promotion for it to count as a charitable purchase via Apple's AppStore . Hence why it's only iOS purchasable (for the time being - I expect it will be opened up for others later down the line). It's also not Apple or WWF's fault either, it's not in their control that hearthstone happens to be on other platforms. It's just an unfortunate consequence of an iOS promotion affecting a multi-platform game.
They probably made it Mage so that another class doesn't get it's only alt hero as a platform exclusive.
don't really get why people are complaining. this is only cosmetic and it's for charity. it's pretty obvious it's a mage hero because it's very exclusive and will likely be discontinued, making the first alternate hero for another class that exclusive would be bad.
I guess people just like to complain about everything eh... I'm really happy with this, affordable and helps with charity, will be getting him later on
Annoyed that Mage gets a second hero when 2/3 still only have their default. Kind of reaffirms my "Mage is Blizzard's pet class and gets to have all the tools to have 4 viable archetypes, while some classes struggle to have just one good deck at best" belief.
But then, if it were Apple-exclusive, I could see people being upset about A new hero they could ONLY get through Apple. Though maybe if it was something like "Apple gets the early release + Discount price, but [X] will be released later to everyone, but at the regular price."
If nothing else, maybe I'll get to fight a mage character WITHOUT an attitude problem at the start of the game.
Jaina, I most CERTAINLY did not 'ask' for a 20 minute game against a freeze mage where I don't do anything worthwhile and just watch you play solitaire, or to get double fireballs to the face, or a turn 6 Portal'd Tirion.
On a more positive note, good on Blizzard for promoting a charity.

And listening to it, I think I like Khadgar's quotes better than I do Jaina: May buy him and actually have a Mage deck that isn't called "FILTHY MAGE". Same reason I'm almost considering getting Magni. But then I remember Standard is coming up and I want to be stingy with my money.
So, I primarily play on my Windows tablet. If I buy this on my iPhone will my tablet automatically download the patch next time I log on? Or would I then not be able to play on my tablet for some time?

That's entirely up to how quickly Blizzard pushes the update to other platforms. I believe they are aware of the problem of iOS jumping the gun before the other updates were pushed, so I assume it should be resolved soon.

LMAO the salt is real, it was not even necessary to look at your profile to guess you are a Priest player haha
I think that picking Mage for this is perfectly fine... It's a kind of limited release so people would go ballistic if they released the first alternate hero for another class like Druid or Warlock. Remember how people reacted about Lady Liadrin although it only required to dl the free version of wow and spend 10 / 15 hours of grinding through quests.
I just hope that the skin will return for others devices or simply be extended to mac computers users.
The best way to release them in a "special way" would be to pick each heroes played by next world champion and ask him to choose one wow legendary lore character for each of them and make it happen.

The reason why they chose a third mage i because this guy is going to last only like 10 days on store.
he is just a special edition

I have an iphone and he isn't showing up for me to purchase. Anyone else having this problem?
Good cause
Good price
Good day
Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
Is this voiced by the same guy who plays him in WoW?
Why is this only on iOs? :(
I AM THE ESSENCE OF MAGIC Print/T-Shirt
Does anyone know if there is a special interaction between medivh and khadgar?
Just remember the good times!
Someone have an iOs Emulator for Windows?
The emotes are very gentlemanly, well voiced, and the hero power is a single arcane blast. Very fitting entrance animation as well - really nice skin!

His hero power looks like an arcane missile instead of a fireball, though. Weird.

Nat Flippin-Pagle gets corrupted, but the Mighty Millhouse Manastorm doesn't?!
