New ranking system rewards and duplicate protection

It seems there is a slight bug with the new ranking system rewards. The rare cards you get come from the pool of missing cards but you might get multiples of them thus putting you at more than 2 copies in your collection. For example, before April season rewards I had 0 copies Dune Sculptor and 1 copy of Faceless Corruptor. In the rewards I received 3 and 2 copies respectively thus putting both at 3 copies total. And yes, I’ve checked, I am still missing a couple of rare cards.

This bug will consistently impact only those with almost complete collections like myself (and personally I don’t mind it), but it could lead to feel-bad moments for those with smaller collections due to very bad luck.

Similar bug here, got a 2nd and 3rd Conjurers Call.

Definitely can agree and this is super annoying. I got 3 Impbalmings and 4 Expired Merchants while I am still missing 1 Impferno… Hopefully this can be fixed!

I can confirm this bug. You get missing cards, but you might receive 4x extra copies of one missing card and still leave you missing others. It doesn’t check in-between giving you cards, whether you are still missing them after you received the first reward card.

There is a reddit thread open as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/gbdquc/fyi_duplicate_protection_does_not_work_for_end_of/

Same here. Got second and third copies of The Forest’s Aid while still missing other Rise of Shadows rares.

Hey everyone,

We’ve seen reports of players receiving duplicate cards from their April Rewards Chest. We’ve investigated this and determined that duplicate protection was not applied to individual cards in chest rewards, just packs.

For the May Rewards Chest, we will be implementing an improvement that does the duplicate check on the chest level, which will result in all chest rewards being covered by the new protection rules.
