Quote from BlizzardIn the year of the Mammoth, you embarked on many memorable quests! You explored steamy jungles in search of primordial mysteries in Journey to Un’goro. You embraced the deadly power of the Lich King in Knights of the Frozen Throne. You delved deep into trap-infested tunnels to loot incredible treasures in Kobolds & Catacombs. Now, one last legendary quest remains in the Year of the Mammoth, and the rewards are beyond your wildest dreams!
Introducing the Quest for Packs Sweepstakes!
Everybody loves opening Hearthstone card packs. . . . How would you like a chance to open 3,000 of them?

Introducing the Mammoth Card Bundle
To commemorate the Year of the Mammoth, we’re adding a new bundle to the shop! The new Mammoth Card Bundle includes 10 packs from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth, for a total of 30 card packs.
You can win a free Mammoth Card Bundle when you Quest for Packs, but for a limited time (starting with the arrival of the upcoming 10.2 Update), you’ll also be able to purchase one.
Purchase is limited to one Mammoth Card Bundle per account.
Please read the rules for eligibility, and happy Hearthstone Questing! We’ll see you in the tavern!
*Entries limited to a maximum of fourteen (14) per Battle.net account and one (1) entry per day.
20$ for a pack where you get 10 of each.. the chances for a legendary should be almost 0 if you stoped to open packs after you get a legendary.
With the free packs that we got over time.. my counter is MAYBE at 10 again and the 100% legendary comes at 40, while 25 seems to be the average. So for anyone with math skills... why would you buy this pack?
Opening 3000 packs.. Almost 0 chance of me winning, but that would be so awesome!
Can anyone explain why there is limited countries in this contest? Playing HS already 4 years also spending some money and lot of time, really love this game but such things are just disturbing :/ countries list, R.I.P - https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/content_folder_media/wb/WB6L680UOW2R1517350745922.pdf
It is most likely due to some restrictions in the countries which does not allow sweepstakes or other competitions like it.
Some might have a special set of rules which could make it happen, but the legal and administrative processes in Blizzards end makes it not worth it.
Because they have to deliver the physical rewards, and there are also laws to follow.
Same countries/places require a certain amount of the prize be paid to the authorities as collateral for the prize. That's why Quebec was excluded.
That gets expensive when you're running a worldwide contest.
if i have the chance to win 3k packs, perfectly can let the clothes an the helmet go i don't care about those, but the things are like that and the fisrt price is a package so, feelsbadman
Blizzard is a Joke, South america is good for buy packs but not for participate.... FUCK YOU BLIZZtards
Here we go, my country isn't included also :/ RIP https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/content_folder_media/wb/WB6L680UOW2R1517350745922.pdf

Stop downvoting and read the rules before post,
From the official page, on the official contest rules, I read it before come here to post
Blizzard official contest rules
No Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Urugay, etc.
Again we can buy packs and not participate on this kind of contest
We can buy, we can't gift, we can't get even 9 packs for the worst price because we are not in the pool of aviable countries, but well, i guess we can congratz the future winners and hope them to get a lot of good stuff from the packs, ....the last wasn't sarcams, but hurts
Blame your countries laws on gambling and competitions. It’s not Blizzards fault.
you get discounted packs... that's by itself good enough...
and I don't think that whole 60+ millions of players will complete quest every single day... so:: be vigilant and increase your chances... any award is a plus (free stuff...)... stop complaining... :)
technicaly speaking, there are even less players, cause of the countrie restriction xd
Let‘s gamble in a game where RNG already contains the whole plot! USK +18
will the "Mammoth Card Bundle" show in pack opening screen show as a separate pack (like golden pack) or it will just split into 3x10 respective set card packs ?? I would def like it I can add it to my collection... <3
Instead of this casino nonsense just give everyone 30 (Mammoth year) packs.
