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!

What happends if you have all the legends of ungro will it just not give you the them ? How is it going to work for people that have most of the cards
same after u got duplicate of all
About time. My last 3 legendaries were dupes, and I'm still missing more than half the legendaries of UnGoro.
just delete whole game blizz
I got like 60-70 Ungoro packs just with my hard earned gold, for all that I got two pyros. Nice thing you make changes when it suits you and 3 years later...GG.
It would be GREAT if they could restrict legendary drop to be at least one in 15 or 20 packs! F2P players would have chance to follow up, and "Buyer" players would be encouraged to buy more packs and get nice cards and come closer to FULL collection! One day maybe, one day... :)
P.S. No pack opening till next exp. :(
I wouldn't mind getting a duplicate legendary as long as it is golden.
Yes, I'm one of those loot hoarders who don't disenchant goldens
I agree, it should be at least 1 golden AND 1 normal, not just either
This is awesome news, just make all duplicates until then full dust value ;)
hahaha that would be a dick move to Kripp, he had so many legendaries duplicates
Wow man, this post has shown those people that opened multiple Anomalus. You should get together and organize a foundation or sth.
The biggest point for me is that the "no duplicate Legendary" rule will be applied to all old packs once the new set goes live, so don't open any packs until the next set comes out!
The "Legend in the first ten packs" rule will only apply to new sets going forward, but that'll still add a lot of excitement to pack opening.
Great Changes!
THANK YOU BLIZZARD - The Calls have been heard again
Proving the Point, that this company cares about their customers after all - ( and yes ...blackseers will say it shouldve been there from day 1 - but think about this - THis company is willing to learn - and thats what let them have success! *i'm such a fanboy* xD )
They listen to you because if they keep doing wrong, everyone will leave, and they wont get your money. Don't be such a fanboy! A company that really cares do things since the beginning (or faster...), or at least repays you if they think his system was not fair. (hello?? I have several legendary duplicates!).
Anyway, any good change has always to be welcome. :-)
Competition from other card games made them do these changes. I may not play gwent or shadowverse but I do believe they force blizzard to adapt a more player friendly policy.
its hard to be not a fanboy if you grow up with blizzard in over 15years of passion to every product they made^^
and i played other games, where even when the fanbase made huge statements nothing good happened and the company just totally failed to support the customer wishes
and yes i believe they care about us after all - they also care about their money ofc. but thats normal in a way, its a company after all - you cant expect to get everything for free at all^^
Now if they only bring back the phased out sets for a limited period of time and apply the bonus packs like they're doing with Un'Goro expansion... I am missing a lot of legendaries from those sets and with these new pack changes... sky's the limit.
So I'm a greedy bastard. Sue me. :P
cool story Ben
100 legendaries in a new set confirmed.
It would be fair if they give us full dust for the legendaries that we already have duplicates
