Arena Only Cards from BlizzCon to be Added "In a Few Months"
If you've been wondering when we'd see the special Arena Cards shown during BlizzCon, partially wonder no more! With replies from both Ben Brode and Mike Donais over the weekend on the question, it sounds like we'll be getting them before the new expansion hits, likely during the lull where they need to make Hearthstone spicier.
If you forgot what the cards were, here you go!

Quote from Ben Brode and Mike DonaisWhat happened to "Arena only" card's that were shown on Blizzcon?
It’s still coming! (Ben Brode)
We are going to add them to arena in a few months. (Mike Donais)
They will be added right before the next expansion so that players are enticed to blow the gold they saved for packs on arena tickets so that they are more inclined to purchase packs for money.
We do it then usually because it’s when people are most bored with constructed. We just focus on making the game as fun as possible, and keeping the game fresh and interesting is an important goal for us.
Often we discuss the dip in excitement around “month 3” of the expansion cycle, and how to make the game more fun in that period. Cool events is one of those tools. Sometimes it’s an Arena event, but it was Double-Gold once too. We have some other fun ideas still to come! (Ben Brode)
just saying development takes time. It's like this across every game i've ever played online. Circlejerk harder
I think he means offering Psychic Scream and Free from Amber 3x more often when he says balance XD
In another news, the next expansion will be released in few months. Stay tuned folks!
Will Warrior finally get pushed away from the bottom to arena with this? Warrior has been NR.9 for a while now
No. Not until they remove all the bad arena cards from potential drafts.
I'm curious as to how Generous Spirit will work with Potion of Madness. If you give them a minion that you potioned from them, would it retain the potion buff and go to you at the end of the turn, or just stay on their side?
I think stay on their side
Damn, could you imagine Smoke Bomb in constructed? Rogue 100% winrate.
Crackling Doom ain't shit
It is if you can reduce it's health or remove it first. It costs 0 mana so you can do all kinds of shit before you play it.
you must be fun at parties
But Mind Control is.
