Khadgar Announcement

just realized, no cardback too? blizzard been so lazy on this one.
I'm surprised they didn't release another Thrall skin. I thought he was the savior of the universe.
They did, HD Thrall. Kappa
That is correct. The skin can only be purchased on an Apple device but afterward you have access to it on your account thus can play with it on any device capable of running Hearthstone.
"save animals". yeah, sure....
No, that is OS X. Mobile apple devices use iOS.
great way to split playerbase in half, dick move tbh.
Not a dick move. The hero is part of a apple promotional and is being used to help WWF. It is not like they haven't done something like this before with the galaxy phone.
totally a dick move, how dare they take part in this apple charity event! shame on you blizzard
So, emulate iOS isn't working for this promotion???
Is any iOS emulator out there?
Nothing that's actually real (that I've ever found).
Ok can people please stop complaining about something that is not game changing? I mean if it was an OP card promotion fine go on but it is just another alternative hero. You got Medivh, why you want Khadgar as well? I mean if you truly want this hero, go ask some friend or family member or whatever if they can buy it for you. I know that 9/10 people you know are using an apple device so no problem at all...
I could ask my friend who owns iShit devices to buy it for me, but this is such a dick move from blizzard that i simply wont
I went ahead and bought the hero. It is for a good cause and it was only 5 bucks.
The problem is that I would too. But I can't.
As it appears, my money is not welcomed in the world-saving spheres.
