Although you can't make use of this offer for the new packs yet, you can collect cards on the cheap from expansions by using Amazon Coins. It does require an Android device though since you need to install the Amazon Underground Appstore in order to get the correct Hearthstone app that lets you redeem the coins.
So go buy some Amazon Coins at a discount to get cheaper packs! You can save your coins for the launch or spend them on older packs now. Be sure to visit our guide to learn more about Amazon Coins.
Did you contact the MDMA guy or what?
upon release, is it better to finish the prologue before opening any packs??
since you get a DK hero card for free from the prologue, and becos of no-duplicate rule you wont get the same hero card from card packs?
the prologue reward (DK-hero) follows also the no-dupe-rule, so order doesnt matter^^
I'd do prologue as it guarantees a hero, so you'll be more likely to get any other legendary in packs, whereas prologue can only ever get a hero
Math it.
If getting a DK on average is better than getting a non-DK legendary, then you should open the packs first, since getting one for free reduces your chances of opening one in a pack later.
For now I just want to receive Paladin DK completing Prologue - and everything else will be fine%)
Well, I want to register here that this expansion is going to be the best they have ever done and that will have a big impact on the meta, we all know how annoy the current meta is dominated by powerful aggro decks and clearly they are trying to change that with these new cards (remember that we already have many tools in the game currently). I swear i did not remember seeing any card that support an aggro deck (Show me if I'm wrong because i really can not see it) instead they printed several cards and a new mechanic (Lifesteal) that will help combat them. Do not get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that the aggro decks will die but they will surely suffer to stay dominant.
Sure it's too early to say this but I believe this is going to be one of the best expansions that ever existed if not the best and I'm REALLY excited about this! I have been playing since Beta and almost stopped lately but this expansion definitely renewed my hopes.
Well done Blizzard. Cant wait for Knights of the Frozen Throne,the hype is real!! :)
Prince Keleseth, Righteous Defender, Brrrloc, Sanguine Reveler, Venomstrike Trap, Plague Scientist, Fallen Sun Cleric, Phantom Freebooter + some cards that we haven't seen yet.
Felt the same, I was quitting HS, and seeing Sindragosa and the DKs changed my mind.
thief decks are looking so fun with all these dk's getting introduced
Bring It On! + Dead Man's Hand FTW!!
anyone know when they said they will reveal the rest of the cards? before it drops i am hoping?
Monday, ie. tomorrow!
As long as they're wacky I don't really care. Anyway, it looks like the Vilespine Slayer has a few tasty treats this expansion.
I found this expansion a bit boring .... I will only get excited again with something in HS if a new class comes ... .who have not released Monk? Will it come in an expansionist Mists of Pandaria?
Then I'll get carried away.
stop crying for a new hero, it will most likely never come. How are you going to do that? add cards to every expansion so the new hero has as many cards as other classes? just give them fewer cards what would be extremely unfair. And the biggest problem is the balancing. You know how 'good' blizzard is at balancing classes. There are always unplayable classes in every expansion so adding more heroes makes that even more difficult.
I think hearthstone is fine with 9 classes and a new one would ruin it
15 commons left.
prepare for FILLER on monday
Maybe that's on purpose? We've never seen so many class cards before the final reveal stream before (besides Rogue, each class is only missing 2 at most). It's possible one of the remaining Neutral Legendaries has something to do with this, like some sort of build-around synergy.
No.
That they're still pushing the stupid discard mechanic pisses me off. The closest Discard Warlock has ever gotten to viable was Discolock in the Karazhan meta, they should've dropped it in MSoG and Un'Goro.
R.I.P. Funlock. :(
