A Special Year of the Mammoth Pack is Coming Soon - 30 Packs in One!
A huge update has been done to this post thanks to an English version of the Blizzard post becoming available.

Around $19 USD after conversion. It has been confirmed to be 16.99 GBP.

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?
To celebrate the amazing adventures we had together in the Year of the Mammoth, starting at 17:00 GMT on February 1 and up until 17:00 GMT on February 14, each daily Quest* you complete during the Quest for Packs grants you one entry for a chance to win 3,000 Hearthstone card packs, the Lich King’s helm, and more!
It’s incredibly easy to enter—just log in and complete your daily Quests! That’s it!
Quest for Packs Prizes
The rewards for this quest are very rich indeed! You could win one of these prizes:
Grand Prize – One (1) grand prize winner will receive a prize package including:
- 3,000 Hearthstone Card Packs – That’s 1,000 packs from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth: Journey to Un’goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, and Kobolds & Catacombs.
- The Lich King’s Helm - We found it in his desk after his internship ended. Now we’re passing it on to you! Yes, the very same helm worn by the Lich King as he stalked the halls of Blizzard Entertainment could be yours!
- Hearthstone Apparel Gift Pack- When the crown of Grand Prize Winner grows too heavy, try this t-shirt, cap, and pin on for size!
Mammoth Card Bundle – One thousand (1,000) players will receive a Mammoth Card Bundle containing 10 packs from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth.
Mammoth Pack – Fifty thousand (50,000) players will receive three card packs—one from each expansion released during the Year of the Mammoth.
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.
I don't understand a thing: when they say
starting at 17:00 GMT on February 1 and up until 17:00 GMT on February 14, each daily Quest* you complete during the Quest for Packs grants you one entry
they mean that you have to complete the quest that you got that day, or any quest that in your log would be ok? I'm asking just because I'd rather to avoid completing some 40g quest if it's not necessary.
It's just any one daily quest.
This is awkward wording to the point of being incorrect:
From the 1st through the 14th is only thirteen (13) full days, and with a maximum of one (1) entry per day, that means only thirteen (13) entries maximum. Not sure what I am missing.
It starts on the 1st, so your first entry would be tomorrow (Feb 1). The second entry would be on the 2nd. The third entry would be on the 3rd. And so on. The 13th entry would be Feb 13. The 14th entry would be Feb 14.
Huh? The 1st through the 14th is 14 days. Count them on a calendar. You're forgetting to include the endpoints of the time range.
It's actually a miscalculation from the original rules:
This makes more sense, although yes, 1 through 14 of Feb goes across 14 days even though the total period is 13 days.
Would be nice if the post was updated to reflect this.
Grand Prize: 3 x 1000 packs from each expansion this year! And still there is a small chance you will be missing an Epic or 2 that you will want to craft!

North Korea not eligible FeelsBadMan
Well, if any im happy even with just the bundle: 30 packs for 20€ is better than a preorder.
That moment you know you won't win anything FeelsBadMan
Could this mean we get the nerfs tomorrow as well? I mean, this has to come in an update, right?
BLAH
Who's "concerned"? They'll come eventually, as they always have. Be worried about REAL things.
Just imagine being the guy winning the Grand Prize...
3000 Packs and more cool stuff, damn
wow it's fucking nothing
I imagine Amaz winning the price and making a video named "Opening almost packs than in the expansions realises"
Y'all ready for a cringey joke which I'm sure has been made already in this comment section?
An event where you have to get lucky to win? What a fitting event for Hearthstone! Haaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaahahahahahaha.
I like one-time bundle purchases - they should be great value. Hopefully the Mammoth Pack lives up to that.
