Quote from blizzardPrize Pool Crowdfunding – Dragon Masters Bundle
The 2020 Hearthstone Masters crowdfunding bundle has arrived! For just $19.99 you can purchase the Dragon Masters Bundle and receive 25 Year of the Dragon card packs and a random Descent of Dragons Legendary.
But that’s not all: 50% of the proceeds from the Dragon Masters Bundle will directly boost the prize pool at all six 2020 Hearthstone Masters Tour events, up to a maximum of $1,500,000 boost in prizing for the whole year. The additional prizing will be divided between the six tournaments in accordance with the tournament rules, including this weekend’s Masters Tour Arlington.
The Dragon Masters Bundle is available now for a limited time. It is giftable through the Blizzard Shop on the Blizzard App and online here! With the Dragon Masters Bundle you can add to your friend’s collection or get a new player started while supporting Hearthstone esports in the process.
It's all about taste m8. For me getting home after a week of work and grabbing a beers and play some HS on Friday evenings is quality time. HS offers a more relaxed environment, some humor and and a pub like environment. I have never played LoL so for me LoR means nothing at all. If I want to switch to a more serious card game I would play MTGA. But those are my choices.
LOR has a lore to players of league of legends and has a mechanic to HS players too. I was a player of WOW for 10 years! HS means nothing to me in lore or whatever they try to theme each year. Always look childish and stupid most of time and art is overrated.
Problem with LOR it's not Warcraft lore. I play Hearthstone much because I recognize the world and the theme.
They are selling the game cheap 'cause LOR has rised...
If someone wants to see the opening animation (PS: Yeah, It's probably useless):

As a note for people like me: this is a unique pack type so if you save rare packs (i.e. golden) remind yourself to not open the last one.
in 24 packs got 3 legendaries + the promo making up for the terrible luck I’ve gotten over the rest of the sets. Not bad.
Why not open the last one?
It’s a decent investment, better for new players or those who haven’t bought extensively in the past year.
Got Nithogg as promo + ancharr (last 2 legendaries I missed From DoD) + golden Chef Nomi (immediately dusted since it's the only one I miss from Year of the Dragon and I have high pity timer on RoS packs). Plus ~1600 dust from dupes and golden cards.
Basically 5€ per legendary
Thx blizzard!
Average value, especially if you’ve already been playing all year. I would like to support competitive hearthstone - but at least throw in a card back incentive or something other than a few packs worth of dust.
So the prize pool is $1,500,000 then? with 0 Blizzard contribution, wish we had better fine print after last years fiasco.
The prize pool is currently $250,000 per event -- totaling $1,500,000.
The Dragon Bundle has the potential to earn another $1,500,000. Meaning each of the 6 Masters Tour stops would increase to a $500,000 prize pool for each event.
Keep in mind that Blizz keeps 50% of all proceeds from the bundle. So, if the full $1,500,000 increase is reached, Blizzard will profit the other $1,500,000+.
They also keep 100% of anything past that. To reach that number they need to sell 75 000 bundles. What I wonder is, how easy is that?. 1000 people from each of the 75 biggest cities in the world. There is a pretty big player base, my guess is that they crush this target and bulk up the coffers with the rest.
I like this mixed packs :D very fun.
Wonder if these packs have the standard pity timers on
+ if the quaranteed Legendary in the first 10 packs of the new type applies to them :)
Same as normal, it's in the press release... Plus it gives you a legendary automatically, that's a 21 pack value technically minus the additional dust that would be earned.
So first 10 packs grant a legendary, on top of witch u get a free one as well. I might buy but to my knowledge pity timers i have do not guarantee i open a legendary besides the free one, can anyone confirm if first 10 grant a legendary please?
That's a good question! Does anyone know about this?
The first 10 packs contains a guaranteed legendary because this is a new deck type so it has it's own pity timer.
