30 cards vs 75, I dunno... the adventure isn't even that ambitious. Arabian Nights had ~10 cards from each color, the PVE adventure has just 1. I'd possibly argue Arabian Nights' impact is closer to Hearthstone's real expansion (which is said to be ~100 or more cards) than the PVE adventure. At least somewhere in the middle. I expect the first real Hearthstone expansion, due out not for some time, to have ~10 class cards, much like Arabian Nights had ~10 cards for each color.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

When the PVE content is out,will it be possible to get the new cards without buying it?

I'd expect that expansion will have DK in it as well which is where most new cards will come from.
Just played a casual game on my way to work and I ran into a mage who had four (probably more) legendaries in their deck.
Played Thalnos turn 4, coined Black Knight turn 5, Hogger at 6. Finally played rag at turn 8.
Uhm ... WTF?
I just don't know how he pulled those kinds of cards all game. RNG gods crapped in my cereal this morning.

Surely the cards from the free wing. For the rest you'll have to cough up some gold. They might of course give them high gold prices, so that gold for real money ratio is better than on arena and with packs - that would make a lot of people open their wallets who haven't paid anything til now.
This would've been an amazing counter vs. Handlock.
Only real thing you can do now is force your opponent to draw more cards than he can have in his hands. You'd have to build a deck around it though. Like going Rogue with Lorewalker Cho, spamming your opponent with cheap spells, then playing stuff like Vanish (to clear his board), Coldlight Oracle (kill 2 cards from his deck) or Sap (destroy an enemy minion), and then getting back whatever spells he uses to get rid of Cho.
That sounds like a lot of fun, even for it to happen against me. I'd like to see that.

But if I understand correctly,the new cards will still have to be found in packs or crafted, like any other card.
So there is no reason to make them avalible only for the PVE owners
IIRC I remember reading an interview with the developers saying they don't like certain types of decks/strategies from MtG (milling and discard, specifically) because they claim it's not interactive.
They just don't want you to have to do stuff during your opponent's turn, at *all*. As if you could play this game async or something. They also mention that losing cards is not fun, and in a game like HS with strict card limits and a low card count in decks it's going to hurt you MUCH more if you get your shit discarded or milled - as a Miracle Rogue, for example, if you lose a SINGLE Shadowstep you're in deep shit. I don't know if we'll see any cards specifically interacting with opponent hands or decks having random removal like that, and I would kind of doubt it.
Nope. They are only available as rewards from the PvE stuff (that's what they mentioned anyway).

They can only be found in Arena drafts, never in normal expert packs. You also can't craft them afaik, the only way to get them is via the PVE content. Maybe that's how they deal with the gold versions, make them craftable after you obtain a regular version from PVE, so once you have that 2/7 legendary guy that doubles deathrattles, you can get the golden version only by crafting him for 3200 dust. Would be a nice dust sink for those with 10,000s of dust anyway, the five legendaries alone would be ~15,000 dust to get golden copies of.

They start to accumulate after that. There is an hard limit but it's over 3.
When you complete one, you will just have a new one instantly (or fairly fast).

I don't think this is the case anymore, multiple times I've carried over 3 dailies to a 4th day, and then didn't get a new quest upon completing one of those dailies on the 4th day.

Five legendaries? There are going to be 5 new legendaries?
In that case, I don't understand the complaints about the PVE's price being high, getting 5 legendaries for 5000 gold is a much better deal than what we've gotten so far.

Really? Boo, stealth nerf!
I just wanted to pose a scenario:
If I have Slyvanas on the field had my opponent has a Cairne and some other minions, after I play brawl would there be a chance that my Slyvanas could take his Cairne after his resurrection ability activates?
Just not sure how death rattles are prioritised.

I asked this in the thread a few weeks ago and no one answered, but I definitely noticed that quests didn't pile up anymore. I didn't see any patch notes or info about it either,.
I understand they don't "owe" us free gold, but at least let people know. They probably didn't to avoid complaints which kinda sucks.

Not sure how it works with Brawl specifically, but I know that Cairne's Deathrattle procs after Sylvanis' normally, so you don't steal the Baine.

99% sure it doesn't, but I know my Sylvanas has grabbed an ancestral spirit spawn after suiciding into Syl. Pretty sure deathrattle spawns are no good but the pally secret respawn would..

Flamestrike is better for that purpose IMO

Turn 4 vs 7.
You probably died in the extra 3 turns flamestrike takes.
4 mana vs 7 mana tho. And you still get a creature on board.
AntiFacebook

Yeah,but you damage all your other creatures as well.
Besides you need to draw 2 specific cards, while with flamestrike you only need one.
What are the chances of drawing both CoH and Auchenai by turn 4?
A priest will not have another creature on the board vs a zoo deck in turn 4. I don't know the odds but any priest will mulligan for this combo vs a warlock.

I've been playing aggro paladin to some success. I'm down to Rank 4, but I'm just a bit too slow sometimes. Really need the Leroy. xD

I'd go for the Cairne Bloodhoof, honestly.

Go for Cairne. He's going to be useful in more situations than Black Knight... that said, I've never seen a draft that had multiple of the same legendary, so there is something amazing about just that thought.

Yeah, went for the Cairne, but that was a crazy RNG.
Two legendary picks in a row, including the same legendary twice.

Yeah it probably won't win you the game but get the knight, drop both in a game, then spam thank you and let the timer run out. Opponent will appreciate the novelty.

I've been playing control pally for months and then a strat like this becomes popular and people will learn to start hard countering it -_- Sad face!
This is why I like having off-beat decks compared to the current meta because you can actually do really well just because people don't know how to react... now I have to switch it up again... hmm... maybe I'll give priest another try, no one will expect a priest deck!

I went to play Hearthstone after not playing it(or any battlenet game) for a couple months or so, it needed an update then asked for my login. It then asked for my authenticator code so I grabbed my phone and put in the code but it wouldn't accept it. Any ideas? I sync'd it and tried a few times and nada, can't log in.
Did you get a new phone since the last time you used the authenticator? It is linked to the device.

Try exiting the BNet client and opening it again. I've had similar issues, and this fixed the problem. I think it might just get confused sometimes.

Ah, that's what happened, thanks. I did get a new phone not that long ago. I'm guessing I need the serial number/restore code thing to fix it? I probably wrote it down somewhere, but that was years ago, not sure if I can find it.

2-3 with that deck 
I really screwed up in one game, but in the others I played fine.
At least I got a legendary in the solitary card pack I got (The Beast)

You should be able to remove it from your account on battle.net. I've had to do that when formatting a phone before.

Double mind control priests.. you are so bad..
I just win a ranked game with 1 hp left against a mage with 24hp that was so crazy !
2 hp left, he said "Well played", used Arcane missiles, one on my hero, two on Gurubashi Berserker ! And the last one on another minion then he drop a legendary card who give him fireball but he didn't have enough mana to use it. Too bad for him I had 6 minions on the board and 2 bloodlust + rockbiter weapon to counter.
Blizzard need to implement a replay mode... It's very easy to do for a card game and they already have the experience on their rts.
