Free Hearthstone card packs available during Into the Emerald Dream theorycrafting event

Into the Emerald Dream is Hearthstone's first expansion of the year, and before its launch, the community gets to check out the Into the Emerald Dream theorycrafting event. In addition to learning about new decks from their favorite content creators, players can earn up to two Into the Emerald Dream card packs during the session. Read on for the instructions on how to do this plus some more ways to get free Hearthstone card packs.

This Hearthstone theorycrafting event kicks off on March 13 from 9 a.m. PT to 9 p.m. PT for invited players in North America (NA), Latin America (LATAM), plus Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Then, the action continues on March 14 from 2 a.m. PT to 8 a.m. PT for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

All of the theorycrafting action takes place on Twitch, where viewers can earn progress toward a couple of Hearthstone drops in total. As noted, these are Into the Emerald Dream card packs. According to Blizzard, these drops are enabled category-wide. Therefore, as long as a viewer watches a channel that's playing Hearthstone and has drops enabled, then they can earn progress.

As always, players must link up their Battle.net and Twitch accounts for this to work. Do this by visiting the "Connections" page on the Battle.net website, scrolling down to the "Twitch" option, and pressing the "Connect" button.

In terms of other ways to get some free card packs for the upcoming expansion, viewers can look for streams that have Into the Emerald Dream Pre-Purchase Mega Bundle giveaways. Then, between March 18 at 10 a.m. PT and March 22 at 10 a.m. PT, folks can watch more Hearthstone streams for a total of 10 free card packs. Four of these are Into the Emerald Dream ones. Just remember that it requires two hours watched per Hearthstone drop.
