    Since these new types of packs are available to purchase them directly from the in-game shop with gold, can we confirm that both the standard and wild packs follow the pity timer rules?

    I mean, a legendary guaranteed from the first 10 packs opened and then a legendary guaranteed every 40 packs and an epic guaranteed every 10.

    I think this site has not mentioned it (yet), but it seems that, starting from patch 20.4, expansion pre-orders heroes are going to gradually appear in the in-game shop to be purchased, specifically, Mecha-Jaraxxus and its card back are in sale NOW for 15 bucks (cannot be purchased with gold though).

    Does anyone know why some card backs cost 500 gold while others cost 600? What is the reason for these differences?

    Could someone make a list of the prices for each available card back? (i.e. which card backs are the cheaper ones and which are the more expensive ones)

    By the way, does anyone know why some card backs cost 500 gold while others cost 600? Or why do some hero skins cost 1,200 gold while others cost 1,800? What is the reason for these differences? Could someone make a list of the prices for each available card back or hero? (i.e. which card backs or heroes are the cheaper ones and which are the more expensive ones)

    Why do I have the feeling that this custom set has so much more work and passion than the official blizzard ones? (especially the last ones)

    Each aspect of the game is just a slot machine. Not out of tune at all...

    Blizzard doesn't have time for that...

    The company is too busy thinking of new ways to monetize the game, such as flooding the game shop with exclusive bundles increasingly more expensive every week...

    It is pure greed, not marketing, do not try to find excuses for this behaviour

    What do you call a company whose economic interests do not stop growing exponentially and is only focused on creating thousand ways to monetize their product? A product whose condition is, by the way, pitiful, while the company does nothing to fix or improve it...

    Lazy and greedy are the words that would define that company

    Of course, you mean exclusivities like the card backs you got as a reward for your seniority in the game or those playable heroes you bought with real money...

    Oh wait, now everybody can enjoy those "exclusivities" in exchange for a symbolic amount of gold... I love this concept of exclusivity :D

    Yes they are just golden standard card packs, nothing exclusive at all...

    If it's not greed, then what do you call the fact that every week Blizzard offers us one or two "exclusive" bundles?

    That these bundles are more frequent and more expensive is a sign that Blizzard's economical interests are increasing exponentially ...

    If I remember properly, no golden pack (of any kind) has any sort of pity timer (neither the legendary guaranteed from the first 10 packs nor the pity timers that assure you a legendary every 40 packs or an epic every 10).

    In fact, I will be more explicit: I think the only packs that have the mentioned pity timers are those you can buy directly from the shop in bulk

    I think there's a typo in the article.

    According to Blizzard we must watch 2 hours (consecutive or non-consecutive) of any Hearthstone stream on Twitch to get 1 Forged in the Barrens pack. Watch for 4 total hours to get another one!

    Found the explanation for the 4th puzzle a bit unclear (e.g.: They use 'potion' for both the Elixir of Vigor and the Healing Potion). I'm guessing it was translated from a non-English language?

    Took the time to rewrite it with the correct English names.
