You can buy the bundle online and in-game.

New Card Backs
Two new card backs have been added.
- Shado-pan Card Back
- Long ago, this card back took up its sacred duty to keep negative emotions from overrunning your board. Though mysterious, it is highly effective.
- Rewarded for July 2019 Ranked Play
- Stolen Thunder
- The hardest part of stealing thunder is getting away with it quietly.
- Sourced from an upcoming "authorized promotion".
- The patch notes state this is rewarded for "purchasing the Masters Bundle"
Matchmaking Improvements
- We've implemented a new feature to reduce chances of matching against the same player and same class multiple times in a row. Some exceptions may occur when players have few matchmaking options near their rank.
- Match quality should be improved for players in ranks 25 – 21.

can't understand 4th shaman hero, what about hunter for example
Who needs skins when all that matters is the opponent's face?
wow I just realized snipsnap is a boomsday card so it's part of the next rotation. interesting.
welp, time to play some 4 mana 3/6's.
Its part of boomsday project!
Don't think this is live in Americas - I just tried and (it is on my tablet) but no update yet
Mobile devices are always late to the update train, unfortunately. Its how app updates work through app stores. Usually goes live within a couple of hours.
Usually I get it 11AM MST - so I'll just wait, I'm not in a hurry :)
Hey Blizz... How about a ANTI-BIG PRIEST CARD?? Eh??? Or some nerfs to the ress cards? +1 more mana on them all.
"We've implemented a new feature to reduce chances of matching against the same player and same class multiple times in a row."
Actually a clever way of freshening up what you see of the meta.
Interesting little snippet about altering the matchup process - they have the tech to discourage the same player/class matchups from occurring....
Match-fixing confirmed xd
What get nerf?
Reckless Experimenter – Deathrattle minions you play cost (3) less, but die at end of turn. (Cost can’t be reduced below 1.)
That one. Thanks.
When is it gonna be live on NA ?
It is live, just restart the client and it will update the game.
Does that card back auto squelch your opponent? It sure sounds like it.
Live in EU?
Yep
Im on eu and its not yet live...
