We recently reported on the release date through a leak on the Battle.net Shop. That too has since been removed, with no word from Blizzard disproving it.
Card Clarifications
Quote from @PlayHearthstoneCan The Ancient One be summoned via random effects such as Effigy or Master of Evolution?
No, it can only be created by two Blood of The Ancient Ones merging. (Source)What happens when there are 3 Bloods of the Ancient One on the board? How many merge, or do they even merge at all?
Two of the Blood of the Ancient Ones would merge into The Ancient One. (Source)How does Silence affect Blood of The Ancient One?
Both Blood of The Ancient Ones would have to be silenced for the effect not to trigger. (Source)Will n'zoth bring back 1/1 copies from the herald or will they revive as their fully statted brethren?
If Herald Volajz copies Deathrattle minions and N'Zoth brings them back, they will have their full stats. (Source)

turn 10 Mind Control
That card has rotated out of the game since like, alpha
what the hell is this..
Well, The Ancient One is pretty big, but is it enough to kill the control warriors? :-)
Hmm seems sort of like a more-vulnerable replacement for Stallag/Feugen.
Without Reno synergy...
So if Blood of The Ancient One is your only minion that has died and you play 2x Resurrect and Herald Volazj, how many The Ancient Ones will you get?
Two.
He's beautiful <3_<3
The Ancient One is a flavour fail. Better stats than the 3 Old Gods combined? If it was an army or at least a pack of ancients that would make more sense, but one? I'm not sold on this idea.
there must be some cards, that no one ever would play
Seems like a fun card. Faceless manipulator for the win?
the whole idea is to have the first one alive and not silenced just for one turn
ah, Mimiron's Head says hi
It doesn't matter if the first one is silenced because the effect will trigger from the second one alone. It's like how Thaddius will still spawn even if the first one of the Stalagg/Feugen pair was silenced because it's the second one's Deathrattle that needs to trigger.
you're right. things get worse..)
Doomsayer - The end is coming !!
I'm pretty new to Hearthstone,but I got this card (and the golden version of it)
By the looks of your comment you are saying he is somehow related t this new card? Should I keep him then? I was thinking about disenchanting him because he seems like a tricky card to use.
doomsayer is a decent card for certain applications to clear the board. Definitely worth keeping.
Definitely not. Can be very useful. I wouldn't disenchant much until the new cards come out and we see what kind of decks might see play.
