Below are screenshots taken from the stream.
I hope the new card packs will be available via Arena play. I suspect they will but I would sure like confirmation for peace of mind.
Some other's have been saying that they are changing arena to award any of the 3 packs at random. There was a tweet from one of the dev's.

This stream ... i would think things like this wouldn't happen.
I can't watch stream. Any info how long pre-order will last and price?
Probably won't be revealed until next week, and its 50 cards.
Likely around $50 USD, I bet.
But i read 50 packs with discount rate. so i guess its not 50.
Well there's 40 packs for $49.99 and 60 packs for $69.99
Wouldn't 50 for $50 be somewhat of a discount?
Edit: Looks like it's 50 for $50 :)
I can't watch the stream anymore, but I'm so happy that this is coming out in a month.
I think I might pre-order 50 packs.
It's very, very tempting to get a head start on something.
Bugged spectator mode still intact
I think its a F2P stream
Eagerly awaiting F2P complaints about the cardback.
think they need to rework some of that spectator bugs out.
I agree. It is no longer a last resort for your turn.
Some of these new cards are blowing my mind... Blizzard, take my money yet again!
Until we see what will benefit Druid and Priest.
I'm better at least one or two Hero Power interactions per class, and maybe one Inspire
Or one Hero Power and One Inspire.
We'll see.
I think its just the opposite. good hero powers are already good. more marginal hero powers got a much bigger buff comparatively
MIRACLEMAGE HYPEE Kreygasm Kreygasm
Blizzard pooping out new cards every few months isn't even remotely interesting. I though given the hype around the announcement, they'd be changing the game, adding sideboard, something people actually might care about. Wow, new cards, who cares.
new cards are the lifeblood of the game.
Sideboard? Like a Side Deck? Ew, please no.
