Mix of cards in stormwind expansion booster (boxes)
Hi,
can anyone tell me the mix of cards in (a) a Stormwind Expansion Booster and (b) the mix of boosters in a Stormwin Expansion Booster Box?
Thanx!

In my card list i have cards from a booster box as well as 10 extra packs. That’s should give you a little of an idea. Each pack is broken down into a despair or hope pack. I’m pretty sure if it is a normal pack it will contain: 1 town, 1 hero, 3 unit cards, 5 skill cards, and 5 artifact cards. However there are many of the non unit packs in the booster box I got. These packs contain i think: 1 town, 2 heroes, 3-4 spells, and 8-9 artifacts. Sometimes they contain less artifacts and substitute these with more skills or "ultra" units for the base class units. I.E. Megadragon for chaos. Not sure if this is exactly correct but this is what i found to be true with my experience.

I wonder why there are so few creatures in the packs? Are they playable with so few creatures in it?

It is only playable if you get a whole booster box. However there are only two factions so you will only get units for those races unlike the regular set where you could get 6 diffrent faction packs. I wish they had put more unit cards in the boosters but the new artifacts and skills are pretty cool as well.

So you think they are playable against one well sorted deck of another faction or are they only playable against each other?

They work very well against other factions. If you get enough unit cards. The new skills in the expansion are well suited as a counter to a heroe with the tactics skill. I enjoy the new factions but again my only complaint is the lack of unit cards. With all my cards i only have enough units to make 1 deck of each faction. Of course the artifact and skill cards can be use with any faction though.

Hi Loco and Flying,
Since I own two booster cases of stormwind, I can tell you that the distribution is by faction (like the base game) while there are sometimes addition of advanced skills, artifacts, or creatures. There is certain percentage of a booster containing artifacts and other cards without any faction cards (My estimate is between 30%-40%).
However, there is a very serious problem. You can't summon, purchase or otherwise get theses creatures to be in your army. Think of the sea monster in the base game. I didn't see any locations for summoning these creatures.
In addition, I am under heavy workload at the University. I hope to finish uploading my list of cards in the near future since I want to trade with you.
Moreover, yesterday a colleague of mine brought me the base starter game (HOMM IV) from the UK, and I've got a ship! The rarest card in the game!
Well, sometimes you have to get lucky...
Best,
Ivor

Hi Ranger,
nice to see that you're still there and not gone! 
If you want to wait two or three days: At the moment I'm working on my checklist and include the Stormwind cards as far as I know them (I have a list of Flyings cards and the cards you posted in another thread here in the forum.
By the way: I ordered 1 Stormwind Booster Pack Box at the end of last week at CCG Armory. It was their last Box. The stock information in their shop is not correct - I have email from the customer support that the stock is now absolutely empty (regular game and Stormwind, boxes, boosters and single cards).
They said, that chances are good that they get more Stormwind cards back in stock in near future (no more regular ones). If I know more I will post a message here in the forum.
So for now we are 4 active people collecting and trading cards: broadstrong, flyingpenut, you and me - that's good!
Greetings
Loco

Hi ranger,
I reference to you question about units without a faction. These can be obtained by defining a recruiting location with these units. You will have to have at least two cards of the unit however. The first card, from your example, a sea monster would be put down by the location stating that this location is a sea monster recruiting site. After that your hero may go to that location and recruit these sea monsters just like if it was a town.
In reference to Loco. It looks as though we are cleaning all the retail sites out. Just two weeks ago i bought all regular and stormwind boosters from thought hammer. If you have gotten all the ccg armory cards then the only other place i know that will have regular or stromwind cards would be dga games direct. However if you purchase from them it will be at full retail price. I know i bought a booster box from them a few months ago and it ended up costing me $93.00 haha. However for new players or players wanting more tiles they do still have starter and deluxe packs.
