Lots of stuff happening. Whispers of the Old Gods should be dropping tomorrow and Standard/Wild formats will start officially.
Ben Brode
announced on a stream with Frodan that if you log in during the launch day, you will get
three free Old Gods packs. Also everyone will get a copy of C'Thun and some cultists.
BUT not only that, you will get a quest:
win two games of Standard for a reward of
five Old Gods packs!
Wait, that's not all! After you finish that quest you get another:
win seven more games of Standard for a reward of
another five Old Gods packs!
If your quest log is full, the WotOG quests will replace your quest with the least progress, so no need to panic about that.
So that's a total of
13(!) packs. You can check what you might get with
this neat simulator.

Druid, my staple class, got a huge nerf, aw. Well, I got a ton of dust, at least.
The nerfs are already active, and for a week(?) you can disenchant all these cards for their full price, so go and disenchant them all, even if you think you'd still use some of them later.
