Khadgar Announcement
Quote from BlizzardThe Archmage Khadgar is a well-known hero to the denizens of Azeroth! Once Medivh’s apprentice, now he’s renowned as one of the most powerful Mages in history! Whether battling against shadowy councils, or holding the line against unwelcome iron incursions, Khadgar is always a staunch guardian of Azeroth and the entities that call it home.
Do you want to be a hero like Khadgar? Here’s your chance!
Blizzard Entertainment, Apple, and WWF are working together to protect life on our planet. From now until April 24, Apple customers* will be able to purchase the Khadgar hero from the in-game Hearthstone shop for $4.99 USD ($7.99 AUD). Not only will you be able to harness arcane power untold, but you’ll be doing your part to save the planet! WWF will receive 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of Khadgar. Aid them in their heroic quest to protect the natural world.
Alternate heroes replace your existing class hero, and allow you to play Hearthstone as one Azeroth’s legendary characters. Add Khadgar to your Hearthstone collection today, and show your support for WWF by using the hashtag #AppsforEarth!
*Khadgar is only available to purchase on iOS devices, but once added to your collection, he can be played on any device.

I've missed that line, once I saw WWF, my brain kinda went full retard. Thanks for the answers.
I love everything about this... Except the iOS limit. Way too few people use iOS devices, which of course are more expensive than Android stuff. Sure, you can emulate iOS but...
Also: 2017 prediction. Khadgar gets re-released for 7.99 without any limits.
wow.... this is a surprise...
would love to have this limited hero... only 10 days remaining... :)
I've waited for EU only cardback now i have to wait for android only purchase skin too .. Keeppo XD
I'm guessing that there are not enough people playing on IOS, so the marketing team had the brilliant idea to release content for IOS only, but give the profits to the WWF in an attempt to keep goodwill with the players...
They joined in on something Apple does with a whole slew of apps - Hearthstone is just one for an APPLE generated promotion. So no...not how this came to be.
i am not considering buying any hero thats not a rogue, so i don't botter at all, but still, cmon blizz, what the actual fuck are you thinking, another mage already, while most classes still don't have a alternative hero? and most curious, IF THIS SHIT IS TO HELP SAVE THE PLANET, WHY THE FUCKING HELL LIMIT THIS BULLSHIT TO IOS USERS? wouldn't be better if everyone could be given the chance to help? it just makes no sense to me.
This is part of a promotion that Apple and the WWF (I still think wrestling when I see those initials) are doing together. That is why it is not available on other platforms. I'm sure that it will eventually be released on android and PC, but right now it is an exclusive part of that specific promotion. Don't get upset.
wtf another mage? why not druid or something?
so lame that blizzard supports this hypocritical WWF
Yep. I was actually tempted to get a new hero skin for once, but I will not support the scummy WWF.
Nice hero. Good price. Only on iOS. Well played Blizzard
And Mirror Image still is Jaina FacePlam
> save planet with WWF
> can be purchased only with iOS
Logic destroyed.
It's not like Samsung or Google care about the planet or wild life, that would explain why your scummy platform isnt part of such charities.
Man with owl on stick...
At least they got the price right this time. But why only IOS?
Because they know the Appleboys are specialized on wasting their money.
Because reasons
Probably because WWF has a partnership with Apple for their foundation...
