Seriously, why is this even a question? Even just having to announce the new release date everywhere will cost them a huge amount of money, not everyone constantly visits the forums like us.

 personally i haven't seen one advertisement for the new expansion except for this site but i'm sure they're out there. speaking of things that are going to cost them money that they've done anyways is change a ranking system that has players skeptical and possibly turning away from the game and a duplicate prevention mechanic within the card collection that will inherently cause less packs to be purchased in the future. So in my defense i think it's a perfectly valid question.

There's really no reason whatsoever that the expansion should come out on April 7th. the hype is already here and we only get to watch the streamers play with the cards early and theorycraft ahead of everyone else. by the time the expansion launches there will be clips all over the internet of all the new combos and interactions before the bulk of players even get to try them. with so many changes made in the current patch why not just release it this week or next? maybe they were worried too many changes at one time would lead to bugs or game crashes to they want to separate them who knows? I'm not even tired of the current meta so it's not like the wait is unbearable or anything but with the current state of affairs in the world and everyone staying home RIGHT NOW it would seem like a smart business move to let players act on the current hype instead making them wait. Also usually after each card dump reveal the expansion comes out within the next 3-4 days. Not a huge deal just doesn't make a lot of sense.
