Quote from BlizzardKrizgut, our goblin inventory manager, has managed to secure a special deal for new and old players alike in our next content update: the new Welcome Bundle!
For $4.99 USD, the Welcome Bundle contains:
10 Classic Hearthstone packs!
One random class Legendary card from the Classic set!*
If you’re new to Hearthstone and wondering where to begin, the Welcome Bundle will set you well on your way to building a Classic deck recipe or creating an exciting new deck of your own. You’ll unwrap one of nine Classic class Legendaries, such as the mystical Mage card Archmage Antonidas, or the relentless Warrior card Grommash Hellscream!
If you’re a veteran player looking to add more Classic cards to your collection, the Welcome Bundle is an incredible deal for the price!
Welcome Bundles are available just once per account, for as long as Krizgut can keep the ethereal portal open! Grab yours soon and find out which Legendary is waiting for you!
*Legendary cards included in the Welcome Bundle are not golden.
Good deal; i am happy to see Blizzard doing things like this. Encouraging for new and lapsed/casual players alike.
I've been playing for a long time and it's about time Blizzard gave players some kind of reasonable deal. I am definitely taking this deal for only $5.
No cardback?
On a different note: come on, Lord Jaraxxus!
I like this Krizgut guy, Blizzard should let him do more good stuff.
I still think this is totally worth it. for 5 bucks you get the equivalent of like 15 packs.
Nice try Blizz, but the moment I fork over cash to you for this would be the moment I lose the REAL metagame you've been playing all along with Hearthstone - Convincing people that paying cash to counter RNG is a good idea.
Ok, now i will have to buy this. Good initiative
I like the idea for "starter players", I would not think that they will start taking such initiatives by customs, or are beginning to fall into the usual P2W games strategies
I have 7/9 class legendaries from classic set.
Insta buy from me if it wouldn't allow to get a duplicate.
It will be random, but you'll still have chance for one you are missing or the dust towards it.
just crafted van cleef so im only missing krush and velen but still dust value
This is a great deal. Like a really good deal. The 7 packs alone cost 10 dollars (9 euros for us European plebs)., this basically gives you a lot of cards. Cheap dust basically. As Trump would say; "That's Valueeee".
P.S.: Why is this not out for EU yet?
Okay, thats it. Forget f2p, I want to buy this Right. Now.
I still need Rogue, Druid, and Hunter legendary.. So that is like 1/3 chance for me to get a new legendary :) i'd bet on it.
hmmm seems legit I will buy it it's a good deal.
My only classic class Legendary is Hellscream. Knowing my luck I already know what I'll get.
That's a great initiative to help new players out.
The garanteed legendary from basic set will mean at worse 400 dust or an epic of your choice.
I think this is definitly the right direction to help new players out....should we expect something similar with later expansions ?
I was missing just the rouge legendary since I don't play THAT much rouge outside of Arena. Turns out I crafted him just last week. This will just end up being dust (although I was probably destined to get a duplicate anyway). Oh well, still a good deal on dust.
Hum... 5 bucks for a Velen... Not worth...
