Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
$80 SKIN???? I got my "Gold Priest" during the Secret Paladin meta FFS... what a joke Blizzard.
$80 dollars isn't just for the skin. There are 80 packs. 80 packs for $80 is super cheap. Buying 60 packs costs 69.99, or 1.16 per pack. Looking at that price (which, by the way, is the lowest price per pack), 80 packs would cost you 92.80.
So to recap: for $80, you get $92.80 worth of packs and the added benefits of a card back, a random golden legendary (which can be disenchanted to craft a legendary of choice) and the skin.
People really need to stop hearing only what they wanna hear and then complain about it.
Do we get a free legendary on release without pre-ordering anything?
Yes and you can play it before the expansion like Marin the Fox .
what is the pre release date??
5 April And release 9 April .
The opening song in the video had me thinking it was from some kind of alternative, twisted, dark spinoff of a number of Disney movies.
why the priest "Anduin Wyrn" with bad guys ,isnt he a good one .
Nah Anduin wanted to be a bad boy to impress jaina
spellward jeweler is the best card so far. anybody else sees her potential as anti exodia mage card?
Delays it one turn
How about Kobold Monk ? He is better in all cases except exodia mage (because mage can kill it with infinity fireballs)
Kobold monk also fails to protect against malygos rogue
Ice Block delayed also just for one turn and was pretty strong.
I wish they'd just sell the hero portrait separately, so you wouldn't have to buy the entire mega bundle to get the skin.
Is it just me or are the mega bundle bonuses getting slightly worse over time while maintaining the same prices?
$80 for the packs, hero, but this time just a standard non-golden legendary. Don't see why dropping the golden from the random legendary, unlike the Mecha Jarraxus bundle, was necessary
In fact, the $80 Mega Bundle does contain a golden random legendary. I suppose it is a error from hearthpwn, but if you go to the store, or the official blog https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/22927025, you will see you get a golden legendary on the Mega Bundle
That's a mistake on Hearthpwn's side (or perhaps the press release). I can confirm that it comes with a Golden Legendary.
Ah okay, thank you for the clarification. My mistake.
I think it would be better if:
