Chest Rolling & Wheels of Fate

This is just a quick post for those of you that had questions about Chest Rolling & The Wheels of Fate, I made a Youtube video that features me rolling on some chests and explaining exactly what they are and what you can do with them.


  • Chests are opened from Booster Packs and Primal Packs.  You receive one Chest per pack.  This includes Booster Packs you open during Drafts, so after every draft you will always have 3 new chests.
  • Chests have five rarities: Common (White), Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Legendary (Red), and Primal (Yellow).
  • Each Chest contains a random assortment of Loot based on its rarity.  You currently cannot open chests in the Beta Client.  This will be patched in at a later date.
  • You will be able to trade Chests on the Auction House once it is implemented.  Not sure if you can just trade them among your friends or guild though.
  • In addition to opening Chests, you can roll on them using the Wheels of Fate.
  • The Wheels of Fate are located in the store by choosing the "Open Pack" option.
  • Rolling on Chests requires an amount of gold based on the rarity of the Chest.  Common costs 1200, Uncommon costs 3100, Rare costs 8500, Legendary costs 30,000 gold.  I am unsure about Primal Chests.
  • Gold is generated by playing in PvP tournaments: Sealed, Draft, and Constructed.  I am unsure about the exact gold payout for tournaments, but 1st place for Draft current awards 20,000 gold, and 5th-8th reward 5,000 gold.  Gold will be generated through PvE content once it is implemented.
  • You can roll on each chest only once, though many of prizes from the Wheels of Fate will grant you a paid reroll or a free reroll.
  • Prizes from the Wheels of Fate include Upgrades to your chest, Alternate Art cards, Deck Sleeves, PvE Cards and Equipment for them, Mercenaries, PvP Cards, Gold, and even Booster Packs.
  • Some of the prizes generated from the Wheels of Fate (Alternate Art cards for example) are only obtainable through the Wheels of Fate.
  • The prizes available from the Wheels of Fate will change as new sets come out.
  • PvE cards, Equipment, and Mercenaries are not currently in the Beta client.  However, you can still see what you've won from the Wheels, including all of your Chests, under the Inventory Stash tab under the Card Manager (their icons will appear).  
  • Alternate Art PvP cards will appear in your collection.  They have a Purple Rarity symbol, so if you sort the cards by rarity they should should up somewhere between the rares and the legendary cards.  Here is an example of an Alternate Art card that I won:

Hope this helps some of you wondering what to do with your mountains of gold.  Until next time, may the fates smile on you.
