Blizzard introduces $4.99 Hearthstone Welcome Bundle

A new cut-price offer is being made available to those hoping to get started in the world of Hearthstone.

Blizzard’s tremendously successful card battler is free to play, and can certainly be played for free, with players working their way through some early challenges to unlock a basic but decent set of competitive cards.

However, with so many expansions and new cards now available for the game, spending can at times feel inevitable for those who wish to feel competitive, especially at higher levels.

So for $4.99 players, both new and old, are able to get themselves 10 classic card packs and a guaranteed random Legendary card.

If you’re new to Hearthstone and wondering where to begin, the Welcome Bundle will set you well on your way to building a Classic deck recipe or creating an exciting new deck of your own,” Blizzard said. You’ll unwrap one of nine Classic class Legendaries, such as the mystical Mage card Archmage Antonidas, or the relentless Warrior card Grommash Hellscream!

If you’re a veteran player looking to add more Classic cards to your collection, the Welcome Bundle is an incredible deal for the price. Welcome Bundles are available just once per account, for as long as Krizgut can keep the ethereal portal open.”
