I've recently open a new pack in Hearthstone and it contained a gold legendary card. I have the promo legendary for making a real-money purchase during beta, which also is gold, and I've seen a couple legendaries played against me, which I believe also were gold. Yet various Hearthstone database sites show images for normal (silver) versions of legendary cards.

Are the legendary cards always gold? Was I extremely lucky, or just lucky?

  • What card did you get? Any chance of a screenshot?

  • @axrwkr I believe the exact card isn't really relevant to the question, but it was Alexstrasza

No, not every legendary card is gold. The gold versions are just rarer versions of the original legendary. Each card in the game has a normal and a gold version.

I got Jaraxxus in a pack and he was normal. Click on Jaraxxus to see his wiki. In this Wiki it shows both versions of the legendary.

  • That's the kind of confirmation I was counting on. I've also seen the images of normal versions of legendaries on various wiki-like sites, but since the game is in beta, and my limited experience presented me with, as I now know, quite improbable sample of only golden-bordered legendaries, I wasn't sure if the normal versions actually existed in the game. Thanks.
