Check your amazon account. You should get coins credited to you for purchasing the preorder, its anything over $19.99 that qualifies. Its worked for me in the past.
Edit: Just did it and it told me through the appstore that I earned 500 coins with the purchase.

Holy shit. I'm a Shaman now at 10 wins in arena and my last 3 games have been against other Shamans. It's like I'm in an alternate dimension. I've only played Emperor twice in all of these games. Missing cards are x1 Rockbiter, x1 Forked Lightning, x1 Dire Wolf Alpha, x1 Amani Berserker. No idea how it made it so far considering how little I've used Emperor, Bomb Lobber, Fire Ele and Hex... very little. 1000 gold profit in Arena today $$$

I was playing my Tempo Mage against a Patron Warrior. He axes my Piloted Shredder and I'm going "Please let it be something I can kill! Please let it be something I can kill!" Boom! Blood Mage Thalnos! Pinged that bastard and killed the Warrior in Fatigue...
Again it just reinforces how terrible Patron Warrior is. I'm punished for playing minions and I'm actively trying to kill off my own minions so I don't automatically lose the game because one too many minions is on MY side of the board.

Yeah that shit is retarded. I was playing it today for a daily and blew past a whole board of patrons while at one health, killed my mirror opponent who had outdrawn me all game. Took him down from like 20-something to nothing in one turn with my one durability Death's Bite, Warsong, double Frothings and whatever else I think maybe a whirlwind too. Of course that punishes him for his board for a change, but still, the deck is clownshoes and toxic.

Yeah, because Warrior needs even more removal and control. Oh boy. Fiery War Axe into Bash into Armor up + Shield Slam into don'tworryyou'renotcomingbacknowandthegameisoverin justtwentyfivemoreminutes. I'm not saying this card is ridiculous or anything, it's "good", but I just don't get giving Warriors even more of these tools. Pretty soon Warriors will just be able to Fatigue you with infinite armor/control ffs.

Eh it's probably a good replacement for shield block in an aggro heavy meta, but you certainly wouldn't run both, and you'd definitely rather have shield block against control for the card cycling. It's not like shield maiden, which shoved other 6 drops out of the deck to become an automatic 2 of in every variation of control warrior since GvG went live.
Might see some sort of mid-range control warrior that aims to put the game away a bit more quickly than slow control warrior.

Some control warrior lists only run a single shield block anyway. I wouldn't hesitate to cut both blocks for Bash if I was running into a real heavy aggro meta. and when you do get stuck against control, bash - shield slam is 1 more damage than block - shield slam.

Small difference though - you can go to the face with that. I can't imagine running Shield Block instead of it at this point myself. 2 more armor and draw a card w/ the chance of not having any damage (or likely damage that costs you a portion of the armor) vs. 3 armor 3 nuke... give me Bash all day.

Have you spent much time playing wallet warrior? 3 damage to the face will very rarely be a concern, which is why I mentioned the possibility of a more aggressive mid-range control warrior. Cycling cards is really important when games go long, because you need to dig deep for your power cards. I would sacrifice the cycling for more removal if I knew I would be playing mostly aggro, but against control decks i'd rather have the armor + cycle. There's also frequently times where you just cycle shield block on an empty board for the draw, whereas a bash will just sit in your hand.
Bash is a fantastic card, and I'll definitely be tinkering with it, but it's certainly not an automatic replacement for shield block.

Wallet Warrior = the loads of Legendary slow control build? Yea, its my goto right now.
Dunno, for me I've had too many times where an extra couple damage to the face would've been a win rather than a loss in the rare tight match.
Not sure it would be an 100% swap thing, but that flexibility intrigues me to test it.

lol wtf is that. Jouster and Skeleton Knight trying to encourage more big minion decks? It's kinda neat I guess but doesn't seem too practical. Those minions won't replace Sylvanas/Emperor
Edit: Wow, Mukla's Champion is awesome for aggro decks, and it's a damn Common?
