Card Pack Changes Coming - No More Duplicate Legendaries
There are a few changes coming in the future, that are not yet live, to how we obtain cards in packs.
These changes will go live with the next expansion.
- No more duplicate Legendary cards. Once you've crafted or obtained a certain card (gold or normal), it isn't possible to obtain again until you've earned all the legendaries from a set.
- You will get a guaranteed Legendary within the first 10 card packs of a new set.
- It will not longer be possible to open more than 2 of a Common, Rare, or Epic card out of a single card pack. You can still obtain dupes in other packs of course.
Ben Brode states in the video that the team is "super excited" about the changes in "the context of our next expansion". It sounds like we may be getting some pretty awesome Legendaries and we won't have a repeat of what happened with Un'Goro.
- If we get another 50 card pack pre-order, that means you'll be certain to get 2 Legendary cards.
- You can buy bundles during the sale, and if you delay opening the packs until the new expansion arrives, they'll benefit from the new system. (Source)
Additionally, a special promotion is going to be run starting soon which will increase the number of packs you will receive when purchasing Un'Goro Packs.
Original Pack Bundles | Special Pack Bundles |
---|---|
7 packs | +2 packs = 9 packs total |
15 packs | +5 packs = 20 packs total |
40 packs | +12 packs = 52 packs total |
60 packs* | +18 packs = 78 packs total |

Quote from BlizzardWAAAH, Legendary!
Starting with the release of Hearthstone’s next expansion (but applying to ALL Hearthstone card packs), every time you open a Legendary in a card pack, it will be a Legendary card from the same set that you don’t already own. Once you own either the golden or non-golden version of a Legendary card, you won’t get a duplicate of it until you own all the Legendary cards from that set. Soon, you’ll be able to craft a Legendary without the worry of opening it in your next few packs!
In addition, you will never open more copies of any card in a pack than you can use in a single deck—no more opening three or more of the same common, rare, or epic card in one pack!
Even More Legendary!
Beginning with the release of the next expansion, you’re also guaranteed to get a Legendary within your first 10 packs of a new set. The release of a new Hearthstone expansion is a super exciting time, and with this change we hope your pack openings start off on a celebratory note!
Combined, these changes should make the pack opening experience more exciting than ever—especially when you see that flash of gold heralding a Legendary card!
The Greater Crater Promotion
Elise Starseeker and her junior explorers have stumbled upon a fascinating discovery: a crater full of card packs! Starting in the next few days, we’re having a special limited time promotion for Journey to Un’Goro card pack bundles: the price stays the same, but the number of packs gets dino-sized!

*60 card pack bundle size available only on PC.
Can people who bought packs get some refund like 1 free pack per 20 pack opened before this?
Why exactly?
All of the duplicate legendaries we've already opened
I've just read all the comments so far, and yes we are all very happy about the change (except for the strange people who aren't). But where is the random guessing at what he meant by "especially in the context of the next expansion"?
Is he saying that more legendaries in the next expansion? Perhaps they are increasing the number of cards in an expansion? Or is it a reference to the theme of the expansion?
Hell, it's about time.
That video from the aisle, with long pauses as if it was a religious mass... That was so strange!
So, ,,no more duplicates like in Un'Goro'' . Then was said its all normal, just ppl are unlucky :D gj ben gj
Btw people,do not open ANY pack from now till the next expansion if you want to get none dupe legendaries
I opened 2x fendral staghelm, 2x milhouse manastorm and 2x nat pagle thank you BLIZZARDS...
Nice change indeed but I'm afraid there will be like 20 legendaries or even more in the new expansion so there will be a cash flow for blizzard for sure.Good move there Brode!You fooled us all :D
So who buy this offert, dont must open his Packs until after changes be on Live!
But what if we keep our arena packs unopened till the new expansion? Will the change apply to those packs too?! One of the best changes ever made to this game.
Gwent made hs less greedy, wow, good job
God bless CD Projekt RED
After 4 mage quest's in a row, thx Ben!
Maybe if you opened legendary in every tenth pack, it would be ok. This way nothing changes, meta will become stale after a month of new expansion and we will do nothing, except for grinding stupid ladder.
Thank you Gwent
JUSTICE, THANK YOU BEN BRODE
You called me?
