The others were posted 2 hours ago on the day that they were, I think.How do we know there's no teaser? Just that the others were posted by this time of day already? That'd be disappointing.

I hope so. Those 2 weeks are even worse than this.I guess they don't want to go dark on the usual 2 weeks, so they are revealing the theme later to follow the spoiler season sooner
Nah, won't be reprints.I wonder if this means they'll be reprinting cards.
How do card games normally handle reprints? Is it the literal card again, same but different name, or a slight change? Or a mix of all?
Yeah. Or cards effects that can give you the old cards (which they've already done a few times now).If there's any "reprints" it'll be in the vein of Dr. Boom, Mad Scientist or Ragnaros Lightlord - the same character used in different context for a different card. So we might see a new Togwaggle card but he'd have a completely different effect.
With how Blizzard is using Wild as their eternal format, I don't see them EVER doing an actual reprint - since that either means Wild players will either be opening up useless cards in a new pack (feelsbad) or have the potential for breaking established deck rules (4x copy of card in a deck, or 2x same legendaries).

Or they could do the same as other card games and say that cards with the same name are the same cards, reprint or no. :Pthe last point is very interesting... because yeah the reprints would actually mean that we could get 4x of a card in wild.
The most they could do is make a card that somehow summons the same card from wild, similar to giggling inventor or Jan'alai, both very nice work arounds to bring back old cards.

That already happened with Magic and Destiny and people just deal with it. Plus, some people probably like having different art versions.But then you have the first problem where Wild players will open up packs for the new expansion and effectively get cards they already own, have access to, and can play in their preferred format. Are they going to offer full dust refunds for the old cards for wild players? Seems overly generous and complicated. I mean, maybe Blizzard actually doesn't care about Wild, but they say they do, so I just don't see this happening - at least not anytime soon.
Just because they're showing old representatives, nothing more.I really don't think we will get any reprint... I don't see where you are getting that idea.
They never did teaser like this before, so who knows how the reveal period will look like this time around. Best to just wait and see.If they drag this out anymore past tomorrow ugh.
At this point i wonder when streamer reveals start. If they announce tomorrow i imagine there will be at least a week and a half before the community reveals start. Probably 3/26 which was the date of Witchwood as well i believe.
It's an Amazon discount, the only megapack is 80 according to that ad but 65 with Amazon Coins. I could see it including the singleplayer content which costs 20 bucks seperately.goddamn, another high price expansion? $65 and $80 packs? why...

only the announcement of the theme today, that will most likely include some cards, but full spoiler season for new cards should start later.
This is based on the last years of how they handled expansions
The video thumbnail suggests they're showing off cards on IGN, separate from the announcement.
That's a thumbnail used IGN's video in which they compare the characters appearing in the cinematic to the cards in-game. Why it's used here, I have no idea, but it's not representative of the new expansion. Just search on YouTube for '17 hidden cards in hearthstone's animated short.' It's the exact same.
Not sure why leaks have been so bad. It's really undercut every announcement and teaser of the last week.
Yup. It was like every announcement was shifted by about 18 hours.Seriously. I'm excited of course for any expansion (especially at rotation), but the fact that this was drawn out was made even worse by every teaser being leaked.
