It seems like you ' re being hung up on the cards being called ' rare ' and comparing them to rares in Hearthstone . If they were called epics instead would you still be as upset ? Also , the # 1 biggest factor for determining a card ' s rarity is draft mode . Draft mode is a very difficult thing to balance , and making sure the power level of packs isn ' t too inconsistent is paramount to a positive draft experience . Adding another rarity to packs would just make balancing rarity distribution in those packs that much more difficult to tackle for little if any gain . BUT ! That doesn ' t mean there isn ' t a solution to adding another rarity to the game there is , and DWD has already implemented it ! There ' s actually a 5 th rarity currently not in use promo . Every couple of weeks , DWD will be releasing a new promo card that won ' t appear in packs but can be unlocked for free through daily quests and can be crafted as well . In closed beta Scouting Party was the first promo card , which had such a significant impact on the meta they decided to parcel it into the main set at launch .
