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.

Has it happened to more people than you?
If it's for WWF, wouldn't it make more sense to be a Druid hero...?
It should really be the John Cena hero.
stupid move blizzard....stupid move....
Samsung peasants rage incomming
Guys, stop complaining. This is actully very good. Now, I see many complain that why it had to be a third mage, but heres the case: Every class is getting an alternative hero, so wouldnt it be bad say this where the ONLY way to get the druid alternative hero? The new heroes are coming, this is just an extra. I am more glad this is mage (could be warrior/hunter aswell in this case), so DL:DR This doesnt screw over all players getting a chance to get alternative hero.
So many ignorant people complaining because they don't have an iPhone or iOS device - Didn't see them complaining about the card back for logging on with android device. - Don't blame Blizz because Apple agreed to donate everything purchased through their store and Google didn't.
I don't own android anything - whats the point unless you just love Malware and not being on the current OS when it comes out. But Rather than complain about the card back being android only - I just found someone with a device to let me log in. - Maybe do the same with someone who has an iPhone - log in on their divide - purchase the mage and then STFU.
The ignorance in this post absolutely blows my mind.
That has to be one of the most ignorant comment (user_276379) I've read in a looooong time.
At the very least the card back (which was just as bullshit as this promotion imo) was obtainable through an emulator if you didn't know anyone with a Galaxy S5, and it wasn't that bad to setup.
Good luck trying to emulate an iOS device when no one you know owns one.
Fair point on Android devices not being updated to the latest and greatest, but sometimes those updated Android versions won't even run on older hardware which would end up essentially bricking the device. I'd rather have a phone I can use than an older Apple device with the latest iOS update which causes slowdowns due to the hardware being crap.
Oh and then there's the whole can't expand my storage with a microsd card on iPhone. That's fun too.
The grass is just as shitty on both sides of the fence.
It's not like you couldn't throw a rock and hit someone with some type of iOS device - log in on it with your account - purchase the hero - help WWF and enjoy. Doesn't need to be a specific model like with Galaxy - not such a hard thing to do.
Exclusive content is the worst kind of shit. Well done blizzard!
I hope they release it on other platform too after the event is done and they hear the amount of complaints.
And where are the other alternative heroes???
Like seriously... Who thinks they get away with this kind of BS.
Blizzard thinks they can get away with it, and well they do. And not sure it's really BS, it's just a charity drive.
That is correct. This hero is not available Windows, MacOS, or Android.
Hopefully they will release him for purchase on these platforms at a later date.
Blizzard is actually making a brilliant move.
Here is my epic reason: Sheep tend to follow the Apple trend, because they don't care about specs as long as it's Apple cuz it makes them feel special. These sheep often have money (because Apple products aren't expensive compared to other alternatives or something like that). So let's put up a special action for the sheep, that makes them feel special in Hearthstone! Gold. fucking. mine.
But seriously, I wonder if there will be a way around it just like with the Samsung's exclusive cardback and extra card packs.
Probably could do it with the iOS emulator that you get when you have an active Apple iOS developer account ($99 a year last I checked). I'm not responsible for anyone that buys a developer licenses and isn't able to get the hero!
I'm confused, do I still get to play with him on PC if I buy it on iOs?
Just read....
"Yes, this is the third Mage hero that is now available. Khadgar can be played on any device after purchasing him on iOS." Its in the first line...xD
Yeah they said that you can play on any platforms after buying it on iOs
