a purchasable item that will allow temporary access to every card for 24 hours. (cards not owned by you, cannot be used on ladder matches.)
this could be purchased in the shop for game gold or money.

i'm sure we can all see the benefits, but do you see any flaws with this idea as is?

How are you going to place the price point?

Is this avaliable immediately after expansions?



Those are your two biggest flaws. The price has to be low enough that people will go for it, but not so low that people will pay that for a couple weeks have their fun, and don't buy shit.

Having it avaliable immediately after expansions means less money from the launch. Not having it available kind of defeats the purpose.


While I think it's not a bad idea, the lower revenue on blizzards side will probably cuck this idea before it ever starts.

i don't think it would be up to us to judge a price, my opinion would be somewhere between 500-1k gold. something a user can build up to with quests, but enough cost to think about if you are ready to use it.
i would definitely say it should be available at any time. with only 24 hours, even with constant game-play. it takes numerous matches to judge how a card fits in a deck. now imagine you want to try 6 different things, could be difficult to accurately judge that in 1 period. also if cards don't work out you would be more apt to repurchase the item until you found something you could work with.

you would then still have to spend the dust for the cards, or spend gold on packs. dust is limited, but without real world value. this consumable item would give us the tools needed to build knowledge and experience. while at the same time burning gold and saving dust.

Good thing you're a genius.

Because pros and streamers do this exact thing and misjudged a card's quality all the time.

What your highest arena run Btw? 8? :p
