Tune in and be the first to know what’s coming in the final phase of the Year of the Phoenix!
26 minutes to go!
Last expansion of the year, but have the biggest hype ;)
If it starts at 8, what's happening at 7:30 then?
It will be
30...40 minutes of countdown, but you can get your free packs right then, so even if you have to leave before 8:15 you can collect. Let's be happy.Very surprising that the stream is in October, second expansion is usually announced in November and released somewhere in December
It's always announced during Bilzzcon which was always in late October/early Novemeber(based on which friday is closer), so it's only 8 days earlier than usual.
Old Gods hero cards, would be awesome..
we will get a 0mana legendary minion, calling it now!
it would be awesome
Boom, The Bomb Sculptor
reminds me of kuribo from the yu-gi-oh set
