You get an epic, and you get an epic, and you get an epic.

Barring some quibbles with the Rogue Quest, I called Journey to Un’Goro the best Hearthstone expansion since The League of Explorers recently. And I absolutely stand by that: the diversity of decks on the ladder is at an all time high, and all the classes feel competitively viable barring poor old Warlock. (Let’s be honest, Gul’dan was overdue some time in the dumpster.) 

Fight Promoter

Say hello to your free dust.

However, since this year’s standard rotation there’s been a running debate about the cost of the game and whether it’s now too high. Seemingly looking to draw the sting from those complaints, Blizzard has been finding ways to be slighty more generous with freebies. 

Recently we got three free Un’Goro packs to celebrate the game hitting 70 million players, and now we’re getting a free epic card. All you have to do to claim your copy of Fight Promoter is login on Saturday 19 May. (That’s tomorrow, at time of writing.)

Why Fight Promoter? I have no idea. She’s certainly not a fixture of any top tier decks currently, but I have used her to moderate effect as part of Two Biers’ dumb but fun Quest Druid. And hey, it’s an epic, so worst case scenario we’re talking 100 dust on the way to crafting your next legendary. I hear Sunkeeper Tarim is good.

With over two decades covering videogames, Tim has been there from the beginning. In his case, that meant playing Elite in 'co-op' on a BBC Micro (one player uses the movement keys, the other shoots) until his parents finally caved and bought an Amstrad CPC 6128. These days, when not steering the good ship PC Gamer, Tim spends his time complaining that all Priest mains in Hearthstone are degenerates and raiding in Destiny 2. He's almost certainly doing one of these right now.
