As stated on the official website, Blizzard notes that there’s “really nothing quite like the feeling of busting open a new pack of Hearthstone cards. The anticipation! The glorious display of light and color as cards burst forth! And, of course, the thrilling promise of that elusive orange glow as each one is revealed!”
