I find it odd as well. They are being very secretive and conservative with card reveals for an expansion that is about 23 days away from release.
They revealed 12 cards at Blizzcon and thats it. Maybe they are planning on dumping all reveals a day or 2 prior to release? This radio silence from Team 5 is somewhat frustrating.

That would be wierd cause this way they can't sell preorders.
There's still three weeks until expansion release, plenty of time. I don't remember the last time reveal season began more then three weeks before release. It usually lasts two weeks, sometimes even less. We'll probably hear something later this week.
if i'm not mistaken They revealed darkmoon faire cards at the 3rd of november expansion released at the 17th, so assuming the expansion drops at the 23rd, reveals should start at the 9th, as someone mentioned above
The issue with the "two weeks of reveals" math is that almost every time there is a week between the final reveal and launch. as stated it's to draw in pre-orders. sometimes it's as much as two weeks. so them not starting until two weeks before launch means that they have 1 week to dump all the reveals and 1 week to wait for the cash to flow.
Now obviously that is a generalization. we are talking about the team that at Blizzcon once said "There's a new expansion coming out Thursday, Surprise!" so they could be purposely shaking things up, as they like to do.
I just find it strange that they would wait so long to reveal anything tied to the new expack. We have not had anything new revealed about the expac since Feb 19.
Yeah, gotta reveal them cards so we can reveal our credit cards for the bundles, man!
I told myself I wasn't going to get the Scholomance bundle, but then they showed me all the neat cards with all their shiny new effects and I couldn't help it.
Actually, it was more for the Kel'Thuzad hero, which is really cool. But I digress.
They might've learned from previous expansions and will reveal cards closer to the release. No reason to go another week without nothing after the reveals.

So clearly I'm missing something - do expansion cards not get revealed anymore prior to launch?
I googled all over the place but I can't find any information on when the new Barren cards will be revealed prior to launch.
What? Obviously they will be reveal
I just get the feeling that it's later than previous expansions? We're already in the same month as the expansion is supposed to be released.
Didn't the reveals used to happen earlier in the past?

To both the above, check this reddit link. The top reply believes March 9th as they don’t want to draw out the reveal too long.

launch is still over a month away. they dont usually start the reveal this soon......
I feel the same way. I think it's because there is more to look forward to so we are more excited and impatient

Show us the cards!
I think they also don't want to reveal stuff too close to the core set maybe?
But likely, yeah, it'll start next week on Tuesday.
