what is this first week bundle btw? can u explain from where u know that there will be one and what it contains ?
Shadow Bundle: During the first week of the expansion’s release, the Shadow Bundle will be available, containing nine Rise of Shadows card packs and an Arena ticket for $9.99 (players can purchase the bundle only once per account).
You're right, good to know. But I read that buying the adventure includes a golden legendary, so the difference would be "+1 normal legendary" (the one in the 50 pack bundle) instead of "+1 golden legendary". I'm editing the first post.
I think the adventure is worth it, because with the 80 pack bundle you get a hero skin (which does nothing) and instead of a legendary, you get a golden one (which does nothing unless you DE it) but with the adventure you get the golden pack, and the golden whizbang-like legendary, and the adventure experience.

Rejoice, for even in death, you have become children of Thanos.
It clearly says a golden legendary card so yes we get golden one from 80. I know reading is hard for some people and maybe he blind. But come on.
I'll never understand why some people feel the need to be a dick and insult people just for asking a simple question or for info, or simply not seeing something somewhere. It takes little effort to simply respond with polite civility in the least. Do better.
I think you have enough cash and some golds so 80 packs for the win. A golden Legendary is very rare to pick up, 3200 dust, equal to 2 normal legendary, so equal to.... 40 packs extra. Go for it man.
Since the first chapter of the adventure is free to everybody and appears to award 3 packs; I think the $20 gives you 4 additional chapters, 12 packs, golden Zayle, golden classic pack, So the second option gives you 72 packs (50+12+10).
If you know that you would want Zayle, then the second option has a big advantage because you will never have to craft it. I think I read that you can't craft the golden version of Zayle, you can only get it through the adventure. You can try the card out (more fun), and if you end up not wanting Zayle, it has the same dust value as the random golden legendary in option 1. (EDIT: no dust value, can't disenchant). If you KNOW you would never want Zayle, then option 1's random golden legendary is slightly (EDIT: much) better, you may get a legendary you want.
I think the adventure will be a large part of the story of the expansion and likely will tie into the story of the next 2 expansions.
For me, I'd look at it as "costing" 8 packs and the hero skin in order to "get" a golden Classic pack and the adventure, You can easily make up the 8 packs and it sounds like the hero skin doesn't matter much to you.
I don't know about Zayle, where did you get the info? I'm looking for it. Found it, it's similar to Whizbang the Wonderful, and it's a reward for completing the adventure, regardless if it was bought with money or gold.
Taking into account the gold I need to get the same number of packs with both options: Option 1 + adventure bought with gold: 92 packs (80 + 12), 2800 gold Option 2 + packs bought with gold: 92 packs (72 + 20), 2000 gold
So another reason to take the second option, I think I will take that one.
Thank you all for your help, and I hope this is also useful for other players :)
so you need the modes to spell it out for you? You can't read the patch notes yourself too?
As for OP, personally I would go with the adventure option tbh, unless you are a hardcore legend player the meta will get stale eventually and you might get more kick out in PvE if it promises to be like dungeon run and not rumble run.
I'm thinking about increasing my budget for the new expansion, and I'm considering these options:
The price of both options is the same, and the second option has these differences compared to the first one:
If I choose the first option, I would buy the adventure with gold. If I select the second one, I would use the gold for buying packs.
What option do you think is better? Or something else I should take into account?
Thanks!
You get a random golden legendary instead of a random normal one from the 80 packs, that might be worth considering too.
That's Incredible!
80 packs
do u care about the hero skin?
What I read about 50 pack bundle and 80 pack is that both of them include a random normal legendary, not a golden one. Are you sure of that?
no, I don't really care about skins, so I guess we can ignore that bullet
According to this post on hearthpwn you'll get a golden legendary from the 80 pack bundle

No need to be an asshole. Mods haven't yet updated the info about getting a golden legendary in the RoS guide for example.

Wow, amazing analysis, thanks!

Hmm yeah the adventure. Have to keep some gold for that, thanks for reminding.
For me its 50 bundle + 1 (or 2 if possible) shadow bundle and adventure for gold
EU 11/2015+ , f2p 03/2021+: DK 63 / DH 205 /Dr 277 / Hu 733 / Ma 6666 / Pa 1072 / Pr 1165 / Ro 1791 / Sh 1303 / Wl 707 / Wr 664

I actually feel quite intellectually superior after reading your reply, thanks!
