Legacy is a special Wild format card set implemented in Forged in the Barrens. It is the largest set in the game, containing a total of
cards as of Patch 27.2.2.184727. Legacy is made of cards from the former Basic, Classic and Hall of Fame sets.
In the game data, Legacy is technically a representation name of two separate sets, coded as LEGACY and EXPERT1.
Legacy[]
The true Legacy set contains these following cards:
- All former Basic cards
- All former Reward cards (Captain's Parrot and Old Murk-Eye)
- All Promo cards (Elite Tauren Chieftain and Gelbin Mekkatorque)
- All replacement cards for former Classic cards that were Hall of Famed
- All original Core cards that are rotated (such as Crimson Clergy)
How to get[]
- All Legacy cards with Free rarity are automatically obtained after the player unlocks the Wild format (which means completes the Ranked system for new players).
- All craftable Legacy cards with other rarities can be obtained through crafting or through Wild card packs.[1]
- Reward cards, Old Murk-Eye and Captain's Parrot, can also be obtained through the achievements Mrglglglgl! and Arrrrrr!!!.
Cards[]
Legacy cards are represented by a watermark which was used for Hall of Fame cards (swirl in the center surrounded with an 8-point star).
Expert1[]
Expert1 is a set that contains all the Classic cards from 2014, including Classic cards that were moved to the Hall of Fame over time. In gameplay, Expert1 is named Legacy, the same name as the true Legacy set described above. It used to be named Classic.
How to get[]
Classic card pack
All Expert1 cards can be obtained through Classic card packs, or through crafting with the according Arcane Dust cost.
Cards[]
Expert1 cards are represented by a watermark which was used for Hall of Fame cards (swirl in the center surrounded with an 8-point star). Prior to Patch 23.0.0.135540, Expert1 cards were represented by a watermark which was used for Classic cards (Hearthstone swirl).
Design[]
- Prior to Patch 23.0.0.135540, there had not been a plan for original Core cards that might rotate in the future, aside from the initial solution to just put them into the Legacy set.[citation needed]
