Today's patch, alongside with big Battlegrounds changes, meant the return of our old friend Khadgar. Starting from now until March 4, you can buy the hero skin alongside with a brand new card back for $9.99. You can't ponder on the purchase for long though as the offer will expire already on March 4 and Khadgar will leave the shop.
Khadgar
Here are the voice lines the archmage has to offer:
- Thanks - "Thank you, my friend."
- Well played - "Well played."
- Greetings - "Greetings, fellow seeker of truth."
- Wow - "Marvelous."
- Oops - "Oh my. Oops."
- Threaten - "Time for a lesson, insolent pup!"
Khadgar's New Card Back - Wondrous Wisdomcard
Khadgar comes with a new card back that is retroactively applied to everyone else who already owns it.
Quote From Blizzard Khadgar is back! For a limited time from February 26 – March 4, you can add the Archmage Khadgar to your collection for $9.99, complete with unique entrance and Hero Power animations, voiced emotes, and a thematic card back!

This hero portrait is the only reason I wish I had purchased the Warcraft movie when it was released on Bluray...
It would have been nice if they combined the Khadgar hero skin and the mage packs together in one 10$ bundle instead of two separate bundles.
Such a miss-opportunity indeed, but the bundle ended up not even being worth its weight in gold, so at least we got that going.
It could be a good combine with dalaran heroic card back. im gonna buy it.
also his own cardback is pretty btw
Decisions, decisions ...
Spend $10 on cosmetics on a game I'm waffling on come April ... (like occasional Battlegrounds, Priest getting comeback in this meta and Big Druid; dislike aggro, Galakrond and Lackey BS)
or
Save $10, eke out 250 more wins on wild ladder on Highlander Control/Anti-OTK Mage deck of mine, get 1K Jaina for free.
/I got Blizzard live event card backs, so Khadgar's is kinda tame in comparison. But hey, good for those who already had him
Easy decisions really, if you care about your cosmetics collections, you'll buy Khadgar. If you don't care about premium cosmetics at all, forget it all.
There's even a small chance in the future that they'll give it for free. (Who knows? *shrug*)
Is the iOS patch not out yet? I don't see Khadgar in the shop
Phone updates always come out later than the desktop ones. You'll probably have to wait a few hours at least before Apple and Google validate and get the update through.

Card back is siiiiick, glad it's retroactive
I didn't expect Khadgar to come "so soon". I guess - with all the paid features they are releasing at the moment - they are really try to push those numbers. Gotta milk that cow while you can, I guess.
The cardback is nice but not impressive.
I expected some Raven and/or Kirin Tor symbol in there.
Oh well!
Raven motiff is on Medivh cardback
I'm staunchly against paying for hero portraits usually (if there's not a new hero power then it doesn't really affect the game) but damn when they keep it a timed exclusive and I fall for it.
I skipped out on it the first time cuz I was f2p. Gonna grab it this time. You got me Blizzard!
Gotta get those Khadgar sales in before they release the new mage hero at the start of the year!
like the card back
everyone hating on khadgar being re released but imagine it was Medivh
Giving the card back retroactively to ppl who already bough Khadgar in the past is a nice touch.
He's cool and all, but I think Sylvanas is the only portrait I'll ever pay for. She used her Forsaken mind tricks to make me do it.
Plus it was such a relief to replace dopey Rexxar, whereas I don't mind Jaina.
Booh :) I always felt special with my Khadgar. But ye it had to happen, good move I guess.
