Whispers of the Old Gods Releases April 26th
The Naxxramas bundle in the Battle.net Shop has received a warning message before you get to purchase it. The message states that on April 26th you can only use the cards in Wild format. Since Standard and Wild will be launching with the expansion, it's safe to assume that Tuesday, April 26th is the release of Whispers of the Old Gods.
It should also be noted that there is still enough streamers to provide us with 2 weeks of voting card reveal content, so there's no way we'd even see the expansion before the 18th. An extra week for additional site reveals and the inevitable huge dump of cards right before launch is perfect.

Will the 50 packs be available for purchase after the release of the expansion ??
it will probably be a 40 pack purchase, just like all the other packs
it will be 40 packs until another sale comes
and what about the especial card back for the expansion (the one with the moving eyes) ?
Can't wait :3
Yeh baby
patron vs secretodine
That art looks ugly as fuck. Though I guess that is kinda the point, so...
that art is amazing and looks better than the encounter itself.
Amazing art! Has real potential to look epic in golden as well.
Brother? Is that you?
*sluuuurp
Standard's arriving a bit later than expected. More time to grind up that dust and gold!
So we will have 4 days to climb ladder on standard or wild? Which actual level from 25th will be kept on 26th, on which format?
Well, based on my current averages, I should be able to buy about 92 packs.
And then play all the same 5 cards from the set for the next four months.
Love the new Shaman cards :) Hopefully I'll finally find Shaman a bit fun to play!
so is there any gvg or naxx cards that are moving to the standard set? or is that idea completely shelved?
nothing, blizzard already said that they have no current plans on moving older cards(naxx and gvg) to the standard format
