Wild Set Rotations
There are no set rotations happening with the release of this expansion. They only happen at the start of a new year.
You can learn more about set rotations in our dedicated guide.
New Keyword: Overkill
Cards with Overkill trigger additional effects when they kill a minion by doing damage that exceeds the minion’s health.
There are currently 14 Overkill cards in the game. You can see Overkill cards in our database or see a sampling down below.
The Loa
Among the countless brawlers who are competing in Rastakhan’s Rumble, a handful of legendary loa are ready to shake the competition to its core.
The Spirits
Spirits are special minions with abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Elusive creatures, spirits enjoy stealth the first turn they’re in play.
New Playable Hero - Zul'jin
Hunters are the lucky ones this time around.

Was the Loa you received for free one of the ones you wanted?
Poll: Showing Team Spirit
If you received a free card pack through the Team Spirit promotion, was the free Loa you received the same class that you championed?

70 packs so far and 6 legendaries. 2 of them were Gonk, the Raptor and Griftah. But other two were Da Undatakah and Oondasta :)
79 packs and 6 Legendaries. Only 13 purples though.
Don't know how many epics I got, but the curious thing is that I got half of my legends in the last 10 packs.
That's an impressive rate!
Glad Zul'jin is going better than expected, at the moment he seems to be performing better than Deathstalker Rexxar.
i dont why people belive that Zul jin was bad. Honestly he is a bunch of value and you dont lose the face damage hero power (which is relevant because you really not need more value after you play Zul Jin, you need win the game.
The odds of that are about one in 200 billion (not going to do the actual math)
that's fake, you can't have more than 3 legendaries in a pack
if its "real"
Source?
11 packs: 1 legendary and 2 epics
"None" wasn't an option for which Loa I got.
Logged back in again and got Gonk. Nice.
The odds of getting that pack are roughly 1 in 67 billion... so, if each of 70 million Hearthstone players opens an average of ~650 packs, there is roughly a 50/50 chance of this ever occurring. To put this in perspective, this is slightly less probable than getting murdered by a six-fingered man in the grand canyon. So either a) you're pretty decent at photoshop, or b) you're the luckiest Hearthstone player to ever live.
I voted for Tigers, but got Zombies... Dissappointed!!! What the point of voting if the Loa I get is still random =(

Class That Didn't Show Up to the Draft: Priest (no legendaries, no epics, almost last in both common and rare finishes).
Opening 27 packs and got 2 legendary, hunter one and zentimo. Better than boomsday when I opened 35~ and only open 1 legendary and that's from first 10 guarantee. Thanks blizz
Not quite - 71 packs, two legendaries here.
This a joke.
Holy Nova, Batman!
