Well, chances of any legendary card are about 1.1%, epic at about 4.4%, rare about 22.9%, common about 71.6%.

After this, it's just a multinomial equation.

[5! / (2! * 1! * 1! * 1!)] * (0.011)^2 * (0.044) * (0.229) * (0.716) = 60 * 0.000000873 = 0.0000524.  Inverting that, about 1 in 19,084 packs will have two legends, and epic, a rare, and a common.

If you want to have it specifics of each card and not just some hypothetical legendary minion, go **** yourself.

 You are presuming the outcome he was asking about was the rarity of cards and not the specific cards he had in the pack.  

Deck has gone 60% so far...

If people didn't pay money for the game then there'd be no game.

I liked the presenter this time much better than anyone they've used in the post-Brode era.  No one can match Brode and it wouldn't be fair to expect anyone to but she did a great job. :)

"Reborn" doesn't really make sense to me... That sounds like it has already been revived or something like that?

Wouldn't "Rebirth" make it more clear?

 uh "reborn" is the same as "rebirth"...

Will the forums still be available to use? And if so will there be mods?

Recreate the achievement system on your new site. :D

This deck gets stomped by Resurrect Priest.

 Figures this goes without saying but apparently not! They'd institute a prohibition against scripting cards that replicate existing cards.  Buh-bye, straw man!

 As I said, I would love something like this. I just genuinely don't understand how you don't see that allowing people to make their own cards completely destroys any and all point in collecting cards for the actual game.

Ban replicating existing cards? Make them all in different classes instead. Or just make them almost the same, but not quite. You don't even need to replicate the existing cards for people to never play with them again. You can use it to make entirely new expansions, for free, that you can then put online, for free, and people can put into their own game, for free. You implement this in the game, nobody ever plays the actual game again.

I'm not trying to be antagonistic here - as I said, a custom games browser with various rules variables, hell, even just a place to play all the existing Tavern Brawls whenever would be amazing. But allowing people to create their own cards and play with them in-game is ludicrous.

You don't seem to understand the collector's mindset.  And hyperbolic statements like "You implement this in the game, nobody ever plays the actual game again" shows you don't seem to understand the card collector's mindset in particular.  For example, people don't need to buy MtG cards technically.  They could just print out the cards and have them and play with them.  And yet MtG is still going strong.  We see the same behavior with numerous other collectibles.

What would be your incentive to ever pay for anything again when you could just make whatever cards you wanted in this mode?

Don't get me wrong, as an avid creator of cards I'd love this. But it'd be ridiculous for Blizzard to allow you to create your own cards from a business standpoint.

As for gamemodes, that's just a custom games browser, which OW has already had for ages and which people have been asking for for Hearthstone for ages too, nothing special. I guess seeing this you could argue for a more creative custom games browser, but again, you couldn't let people touch individual cards.

 If you don't want to spend money then you can play the game F2P.  If you want to put in the work to script hundreds of cards then sure you can save money.  Just like you can grind and save money now.

 There's a difference between 'giving players the option to play the game for free, with the understanding they won't get all the content without a ridiculous amount of both time investment and skill' and 'giving the players all the content of the game, completely for free'.

It doesn't matter how long it takes to do - one person does it, and then they put it on the internet for everyone else to copy-paste into their game. Buh-bye, money!

 Figures this goes without saying but apparently not! They'd institute a prohibition against scripting cards that replicate existing cards.  Buh-bye, straw man!

Would be cool. But I actually just hope, that Blizzard would release more gamemodes. Maybe a gamemode with a core set or something like that. 

 Yah that could be cool. :)

Too confusing for casual players (same thing for more deck slots)

 In OW, Jeff Kaplan admitted that only "power users" would likely design anything because you'd need some understanding of scripting to make it work even with the toolset overlay.  

Here's the video of the OW Workshop.  Basically, its a scripting toolset allowing players to create custom Overwatch game modes and heros.  Imagine if the Hearthstone team did this for us so that we could create custom Play modes and even custom cards??? :D

• They have discussed nerfing Barnes and Bloodbloom but are waiting to collect more data.

Barnes has been around since August 2016.  I get that there are new interactions with each meta but things haven't changed that dramatically since the last expansion.
