Legendary Card Count

Community Discussion
1

I was recently looking for a count of how many legendary cards there are in Hearthstone, and I couldn’t find any answers, so I may as well make my own count. This will become current early June 2019, as this will include the neutral legendary minion SN1P-SN4P, which will be added then. If you notice I messed up then let me know (as if anyone would bother redoing this count).

I really hope this helps at least one person other than me.

My count is 299 legendary cards total.
Quite a mismatch.

I’ll check the details of your count vs my spreadsheet to see where the differences are.

Here are the difference I found in the tally per set that you provided. (I did not check the tally per type because I don’t have that in my spreadsheet).

Old Gods: 1 class minions, 12 neutral minions (see below)
Kobolds: 9 class weapons, 9 class minions, and 5 neutral minions (see below)
Witchwood: Two class minions per class except one for Shaman makes 17 total, not 7 as you write
Rastakhan: Same mistake, so again 17 instead of 7 class minions
Shadows: My total is 5 neutral minions instead of 5 but that’s because I haven’t added SN1P-SN4P yet.

(List of Old Gods neutral legendary minions: C’Thun, Deathwing Dragonlord, Hogger Doom of Elwyn, Mukla, N’Zoth, Nat Darkfisher, Shifter Zerus, Soggoth, Boogeymonster, Twin emperor Vek’lor, Y’Shaarj, and Yogg-Saron)
(List of Kobolds neutral legendary minions: Togwaggle, Marin, Oakheart, Darkness, and Zola)

So you missed two in your list (probably the two uncollectible ones that everybody received, C’Thun and Marin), and you miscalculated to lost another 10 + 10. Total of 22 missed. And then you already added SN1P-SN4P that I don’t have in my list yet.

And now your total goes up to 330, and mine would be 300 after adding SN1P-SN4P. I am at a loss. Either you also made a mistake in adding up the numbers per set, or I made a mistake in my Excel SUM formula, or Excel is bugged.
