OK, not really. But word is out from the Brodester that as of the next expansion:

• Every time you open a legendary card it will be guaranteed to be one that you don’t have before.
• Everyone will be guaranteed to open a new legendary card within the first ten packs of the new set.
• Both of these changes will start when the next expansion hits.

I have actually received multiples of the same Legendary before, so this is absolutely an improvement of the current system. Also confirmed is that you can go ahead and craft the Legendaries you want right away without fear that you might open it in your next pack – the system will automatically update to skip over a Legendary you already have. There really isn’t a downside here for anyone.

At the same time, it’s a bit tough to say that Blizzard is really giving much away either. If anything, this undeniable Quality of Life improvement might encourage players to buy more packs overall.

And, honestly? This announcement came out in the middle of Shadowverse doing this:

Not all that uncommon.

Logging in once a day results in 5 free packs of cards of alternating sets, or the equivalent of 3 free Arena runs. On top of the normal daily log-in bonuses. On top of the normal daily quests you can complete for additional prizes. On top of the dozens of achievements that unlock goodies.

It’s just kinda a shame that Shadowverse’s current meta is worse than Hearthstone and about a third of its cards are softcore hentai. We could use a bit more competition between the top F2P CCGs.
