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.

such bullshit!
Releasing it for charity only on iOS is stupid, yes.
But even more stupid is releasing another Mage hero instead of a Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock or Druid hero.
I didn't appear on my brother's iPhone, so I didn't buy it yet. But I'll wait until these bugs are fixed.
I think that's good. While some panda or druid may fit better on a WWF promotion, this way every class can have an alternative hero that is not on a limited sale.
Yes, that's a good point.
Not a bug. You have to update the app first.
Did you read the part where it ends April 24th?
Yes, but I play on my PC, and I won't be able to play until they update the PC/Android version too (What will happen by 5PM PDT).
As soon as they update it I'll probably buy it.
Wow this comment section is full, and all in the last two hours.
Hopefully these recent new heroes mean that other classes will get their alternative heroes soon.
I'm dissappointed with some of the comments here. I would think that everyone will be delighted to hear that this is going for a good cause, but instead there are people complaining.
We need a new warlock hero, a zoo keeper or something like that will be fun !
I own IOS devices and still think this is stupid. But since WWF is crap and I don't like playing mage, I don't give a fuck.
I bought the hero with my iPhone, now I cannot start HS on PC anymore, because it "needs an update", but there is no update available. :P
If this is for WWF, why wasn't the hero a Pandaren Priest or something?
Curious, can you download the Hearthstone app via Amazon on an IPhone? If not, that eliminates the ability to use Amazon coins for the promotion, which makes sense for charity. If so, I'm not sure why it's limited to Apple users only unless this is primarily a promotion between the WWF and Apple.
Apple is holding a giant promotion for the WWF, and hearthstone is one of the many apps that has IAPs that give proceeds.
You cannot use amazon coins on iOS devices.
As soon as exclusive card backs for cross-promotion started, I stopped collecting those. Never really started collecting heroes, but it looks like they're going the same route with heroes now. I have an iOS, so I'm not excluded, but I still think this is stupid. I even thought the Paladin one obtained through WoW was stupid, and this is way worse.
Seems u arent the only one, that sucks.
Oh finally I have something to justify paying $10 for
Destroy the planet. Be Guldan.
For the Non iOS people - today in the app store - Apple has released a whole slew of apps - not Just Hearthstone - which donates proceeds to WWF. This promotion runs til April 24th - and falls in line with Blizz promoting an expansion to Hearthstone - right near their release date.
Thankfully Blizzard joined in the promotion and added this to the game for us. - Could they have done something else? sure....but this is what we have.
