Yeah, I noticed this too. Which, I don't know why they would do that considering they're almost all common and rare. Now you just end up with a ton of extras.
I did get Kazakus and Aya in my first 50 packs though.

Didn't get a single Jade idol. Only pulled 1 of the Jade ramp card and 1 of the taunt that protects the Jade golem. Those were Commons too
With so many people opening the Tri-class cards AND hitting multiple legendaries in packs, I wonder if the tri-class stuff is being counted 3x behind the scenes. So you get a chance to pull them more often because they are counting as 3 cards (one for each class) in the back end or something.
Very strange that so many people would be opening TONS of them like this. Doesn't feel random at all.

also the sound people make when they get him.
A lot of people are reporting that it feels like tri-class cards are more weighted. It's probably on purpose to make people want to play these cards.

Nope. Couple of crashes for me on on iPhone (5S) but no disconnects.
Can support this with my draws. I got somewhere around 10-15 copies of:
Kabal Courier (x13) (Common)
Grimestreet Smuggler (x15) (Common)
Lotus Agents (x12) (Rare)
As for my only legendary in 50 packs it was:
Don'Hancho.
Pretty sleazy way to push tri-class if it's true.

Just spent about 4500 dust to fill out my Paladin, Rogue, and Neutral collection. I haven't dusted any of my dupes yet from the MSG packs nor any of the goldens. I also didn't craft the Rogue Legendary. I don't think Shaku, the Collector is going to be used much. At 3 mana and 3 health, I see it getting run off the board pretty quickly. There has to be a better 3 drop for Rogue than that.
Also, Golden Jade Shuriken animation is amazing. I don't know why I love it, but I do.

With the occurence rate increased for Tri-class cards like this it is hard for me not to speculate if Blizzard are doing this to force people to buy more packs. With something like this is means a person will have to purchase MANY extra packs to get a reasonable amount of the set complete. The conspiracy theorist in me feels like this is a cash-grab in the same way that the Heroic Tavern Brawl was.
Yes they both maybe have good reasons behind them, but I'm sure the business guy was standing right there in the meeting too, and nodding his head along. Feels a bit gross. I hope it's a mistake at least in terms of the pack opening bonus.

I had always assumed that pack openings used an RNG that pulled from the full list of cards in the set. However, maybe instead it goes like this:
RNG 1: Roll for rarity.
RNG 2: Roll for class.
RNG 3: Roll for card.
If that's true, then the tri-class cards should statistically show up much more often than other cards, since you have 3x the "class roll" chance when compared to other cards.

RNG 2: Roll for class.

Well this is kinda horse shit. A lot of people wasted packs now and got a bunch of duplicates.

Welp, this is the last time I pre-order the tri-class card expacs. Got 2 legendaries and then a dupe of one (Knuckles). Probably literally got about 20 Jade Spirits and Kabal Chemists.
Thanks!
I have 25 Jade Spirits, 23 Grimestreet Smugglers, 22 Kabal Chemists (+1 in gold).
Rares: 7 Grimestreet Informants, 9 Kabal Couriers, 10 Lotus Agents (+1 in gold).
Out of 5 legendaries I have Don and Kazakus though these being weighted would be harder to see.

I fought against two of those "boosting decks" and one of those Jade Golem decks so far and my N'Zoth paladin just plowed through them. Not saying it's indicative of anything, but it's fun using your old deck against new archetypes and seeing it works again.

EDIT: Dunno how this double posted, my b.
Zeriyah said on Reddit that Blizzard is looking into it and that they may update the Reddit thread and Hearthstone Twitter with updates.
So it seems to be unintentional.

Blizzard said that they basically had to reinvent their backend in order to work the Tri-Class mechanic into the game. So the occurrence bonus in opening packs may be a mistake based on how they coded them to work.

If then genuinely fucked up the rarity of cards appearing in packs then they just need to straight up give full dust refund for all tri-class cards, regardless of how much dust it puts into the system.

Hmm, should I wait to open my packs?
yup. This is what we get for doing things.

EU release date delayed by 1 day thanks to the bug.
Riot incoming.
Jade Druid is kinda bull shit son. Control decks are now officially dead.
I am playing Malygos Druid with a single copy of Jade Idol... demolished two control decks with a single card. I don't have to care about over drawing in match ups, I got max ham with Gadgetan.

I would. The occurrence bonus means that you're going to get a ton of dupes on the common and rare tri-class cards which is going to mean a lot more dust than usual.
