    Poll How are you saving up for the new expansion? (49 votes)

    I'm saving up gold from the daily quests 43%
    I'm earning gold and dust from arena 0%
    I'm grinding out wins from ladder or tavern brawl 2%
    I'm buying the pre-order/using real $$$ 18%
    A combination of the above 8%
    None of the Above 12%
    Show results 16%

    Whispers of the Old Gods is coming in late April or early May. That's at least a month and a half of time to gather resources for the new content. I was wondering how the Giantbomb community prepares for new expansion.

    For me, I usually just hoard gold until the release date. It's boring but I enjoy opening alot of packs at the same time.

    This poll could probably benefit from being the type where you select multiple things. For example, many people will probably do the preorder but also save up some amount of gold.

    Did what I've done since the first Expansion annoucement, started hoarding gold from daillies from teh day of annoucement, and buy a 15 pack set because why not. This on top of my dust pile I have saved and from dusting all the cards leavin Standard should give me just about everything I'd want.

    Hoarding a ton of gold from daily quests and then doing a bunch of arena runs when the expansion hits. Not the best way to get the new cards, but arena's my favorite mode, and it's a cool showcase of the new stuff.

    I have 3000 gold saved up because I thought they would release the new pack close to the announcement. I save up using a combination of the tavern brawl, ranked play and daily quests. I guess I'll have close to 5000, if not more, by the time the pack is released in late April.

    @fredchuckdave: Two questions: how much HS have you played to earn that much gold and how have you not spent it all? I have been playing an unhealthy amount since the beta and I doubt I would have earned that much in total.

    @dgtlty: I'm an infinite or near infinite arena player (at this point it would be impossible to run out of gold basically). I only occasionally play constructed aside from dailies and I only buy like 10 packs an expansion or a single wing unless something is really appealing.

    I don't really play that much anymore but the gold count still goes up.
