It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Okay now they don't even hide anymore that they're a greedy company to milk the parent's credit card (looking at you, trailer).
Luckily I have saved up enough gold and dust to craft whatever I like.
Just one of the latest examples: They made up excuses to not give dust refunds on Tess Greymane and the likes.
Wow! A company designed to make profit is offering additional goodies for extra money! How dare they, when those extra things are purely cosmetic and don't effect my gameplay experience?!
I really don't know what people expect anymore. 50 packs for $50 has been the norm, and 80 packs for $80 is just an extension of that, plus a new skin, and the golden legendary is a new bonus in both deals.
I want that lemonade card back! That looks amazing!
Color choices are so great
Looks cool, too bad i can't afford it.
Looks cool. Too bad i cant afford it...
Anyone experiencing problems on android?once i login, if i try to play or do something, the app just closes(downloaded with amazon)

Man screw the new hero skin, let me get that lemonade card back!
Finally added support for 18:9 screens resolution! :-)
Resolved an issue where freezing a Rush minion the turn it was played would cause it to skip two attacks.
This caused Kripp to lose an arena game xD
I want some lemonade.
Vote with your money guys....I am done paying for a game where you play against decks that cannot be countered. But you never know, if this expansion changes that, I will buy it...highly unlikely though. Casual matches, quests and brawl for me until things change!
Pray tell: which decks "cannot be countered"? Because everything currently in the meta can be.
I refuse to put money in a game where it's come down to a rock, paper, scissors situation. Depending on what deck you and your opponent play it's auto-win or auto-lose. It doesn't happen systematically but the frequency of this situation is presently too high in this meta. You don't have any problems with it, good for you.
Battlecry of that Hero: *windows xp music starts*
When you use Hero Power: HA--HA--HA--BLUE--SCREEN
At least I'm glad that idea of "pre-order heroes" was not in their mind in KotFT release
I think you may be misunderstanding. The pre-order hero is just a warlock skin like Lunara, Arthas, and Nimzi to name the most recent. The hero card they teased in the trailer is a warrior card and hasn't been mentioned yet.
