The first cross-ip playable character enters Hearthstone and its Diablo, the Lord of Terror!
Diablo will be available in the Mercenaries game mode and can be pre-purchased or obtained normally in-game. Here are the abilities and equipment Diablo has access to.
Quote From Blizzard Last, but certainly not least, the Lord of Terror is coming to help celebrate the launch of Mercenaries! Diablo is available as part of one of three pre-purchase bundles, each including an iconic Blizzard character!
The Diablo Mercenaries Pre-Purchase Bundle includes a Diamond Legendary Diablo Mercenary Card and 50 Mercenaries Packs; the Lich King Mercenaries Pre-Purchase Bundle includes a Diamond Legendary Lich King Mercenary Card and 50 Mercenaries Packs; and the Sylvanas Mercenaries Bundle includes a Golden Legendary Sylvanas Mercenary Card and 30 Mercenaries Packs.
The Diablo, Lich King, and Sylvanas are all also obtainable in-game, without purchasing these bundles, from Mercenaries Packs or the crafting system. To learn more details about Mercenaries, make sure to check out our Gameplay and Collection blogs. We’ll see you in the Village!

Diablo and Lich King's pre-bundles cost $50 a piece.
Sylvanas' cost $30.
So you're essentially buying a pack a dollar, with a cosmetic on top.
not...terrible but I don't know how packs work to know if it is a good deal or not
This article helped me a ton in understanding how the packs would function: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/296433
Under the "Mercenaries Packs" tab. They'll be a lot like regular Hearthstone packs, with a Legendary pity timer and roughly equivalent average drop rate for Epics and Legendaries. You'll always gain a new Mercenary (if you don't own all the ones for that rarity), and then the remaining four items could be more Mercenaries, Mercenary coins (unique to each Merc, spent to craft said Merc or to upgrade their abilities), or Portraits (alternate skins for said Mercs).
"Diablo is available as part of one of three pre-purchase bundles, each including an iconic Blizzard character!"
Interesting. I hope that means a StarCraft and Overwatch character as well.
Sylvanas and the Lich King are the other pre-order bundles.
Though, all these mercenaries can also be earned in-game, so don't feel the need to pre-order to get them!
So that's Hearthstones first cross-promo if we don't count the tavern brawls hu? I wonder if they are also adding a Overwatch Mercenaries once OW2 launches.
Shame they never brought that Tavern Brawl back. It was a cool one
Big Red! ❤ This was a very pleasant surprise, indeed! 🔥
