Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
I wonder if the set contains a hero card ? Like Boom , Zul'jin or Hagatha .
Looks like there is a new priest hero card on the blizzard website.. Madam Lazul Pog
Edit NVM: Portrait not hero card :)
Yes, the turn limit.
I purchased the mega bundle and got a golden Skull of the Man'ari I hope that's not my free golden as it says on the store page that the golden legendary is from Rise of Shadows.
80 dollar for an actual good hero portrait... I am sad right now.
Do you guys not have credit cards?!
Yeah I remember your post. Was bound to happen.
Finally! Great cards so far. I can't wait until the reveal schedule is up and running
Here Goes my allowens..
Lol, Sword of Omens reference.
Rafaam effect is so boring.
Dragon mage is coming!
Oh great, another $80 Mega Bundle with a hero portrait locked to it. Remember when we used to get heroes for free?
Kalecgos!! Dalaran!!! *throws money at screen*
prepurchased both and got these immediately - https://imgur.com/a/7iO6gvu and this https://imgur.com/a/ZJZl66G
yeah me too i too tyrantus and voraxx wtf???
Is that supposed to happen though? It's written that we're supposed to get the legendary cards from the new expansion, assuming that is, when it launches. Or is it completely unrelated and you got it from regular packs?
I like the mage legendary, can't wait to see the priest one, hope this this time it won't be a meme/trash card like before.
I know not everyone loves card generation abilities, but I think both Lackeys and Twinspell answer people's biggest complaint by being far more predictable. Their range of outcomes is much narrower than Discover, so hopefully that appeases the RNG haters out there.
According to the site, the Mega Bundle gives a Golden Legendary card.
