Barnes Nerf - Double or Triple Your Dust Gain!
With the recent nerf patch, here comes an opportunity for anyone who was around One Night in Karazhan era and claimed at least The Prologue, but havent bought the rest of the adventure yet, to jump on a great deal! If you buy first and second wing to get to Barnes, you can "buy" dust with gold at a premium rate at almost half its normal cost this way (compared to avg dust per pack).
If you want a simple explanation, think about it this way, you pay 1400 gold for a legendary (and a half) of your choice. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
Also, if you dont own any part of the adventure yet, the only option to get it is to use real money and buy the entire adventure - and you get an even sweeter deal for it! See calculation below.
Note: You must have reached at least rank 25 in Ranked Play to be able to open the adventure.
1st Wing: The Parlor (620 dust)
- 1x Moroes (400)
- 2x Ivory Knight (40)
- 2x Maelstrom Portal (40)
- 2x Protect the King! (40)
- 2x Silverware Golem (40)
- 2x Arcane Anomaly (10)
- 2x Arcanosmith (10)
- 2x Cloaked Huntress (10)
- 2x Deadly Fork (10)
- 2x Pantry Spider (10)
- 2x [Hearthstone Card (Priest of the Fiest) Not Found] (10)
2nd Wing: The Opera (1940 dust)
- 1x Barnes (1600) <<<
- 2x Arcane Giant (200)
- 2x Moat Lurker (40)
- 2x Onyx Bishop (40)
- 2x Kara Kazham! (10)
- 2x Kindly Grandmother (10)
- 2x Pompous Thespian (10)
- 2x Silvermoon Portal (10)
- 2x Swashburglar (10)
- 2x Wicked Witchdoctor (10)
Calculation
Buy 1st and 2nd wing with gold
- Dust total = 2560
- Cost in gold = 1400
- Avg dust per 100 gold = ~183
- Avg dust per 1 pack (source) = ~100
Buy entire adventure for $20 (equivalent of '15 pack bundle')
- Dust total = 4150 (2950 + 1200)
- Cost in gold = 1500
- Avg dust per 100 gold = ~272
- Avg dust per 1 pack = ~100
And if you decide to keep any of the cards, the dust gain increases that much more. Only downside is, you have to play out the adventure to get the card rewards, but is that really a downside? The adventure is quite good!
edit: After some calculations, if i am right, you can actually get almost three times your money worth of the dust value, if you buy with real money. Damn. Everyone who can should probably buy this lol!

What about us that didn`t buy any of the wings? How does the math works out there?
Genuinely interested...
If you mean buying entire adventure for real money (since thats the only other option), i havent done that math. If someone wants to do that, feel free.

If you didn´t buy any wing you should not be able to get them with gold.
If you played back them, you should have gotten the first wing (prologue) for free and should be able to buy them with gold. If you started after Karazan, unfortunatelly you can only get it with real money, and since most cards of the expansion are terrible in wild, it is much worst deal to buy all the wings.
I actually went and did the math, i was interested to see the results and holy hell are they amazing. You get almost triple the dust value for your money, if we compare it to an equivalent of 15 pack bundle. Unless i made an error somewhere :o
