The Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection was released in hobby stores on November 22nd, 2023. Now, the set is available on the Upper Deck e-Pack® website, with achievements and additional parallels to collect! This blog will be covering some of the Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection achievements that you can earn on the site. If you’d like to read more about the collection itself, you can read This Blog.
For those new to Upper Deck e-Pack®: you can buy and open card packs, trade with others, and send home cards whenever you choose. For most main key words used in this blog, you can check out the Tutorials page to help explain them. You can also view This Blog for additional assistance.
Achievements are one of the most fun parts of collecting cards on the site. Most sets of cards available have a related set of achievements. Completing these achievements means you can earn some awesome items. These may be an avatar to use on the site, a rare card variant, or even some unique memorabilia. There are quite a few fantastic achievements for the Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection, so you’ll want to familiarize yourself with them.
Avatar Achievements
The simplest achievement you can redeem for is an avatar to use on the site. For the Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection, the base set has 27 cards for each of the following game universes: Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch. Once you collect the corresponding 27 cards, you can go to the achievements page. Find the Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection achievements and press the orange “Redeem” button to receive the avatar! When you hover over your avatar/profile in the upper right corner of the web page, you will see “Change Avatar” as an option. You can then find the avatar you would like and equip it.
Combining Cards
The next achievement involves combining duplicate cards to create a new parallel card with different color foil and/or foil board effects. While Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary parallels can be either pulled from packs or collected through combining, the Epic, Minted Gold, and Transmog parallels can only be collected through combining cards. As a note, when you combine the duplicate cards, the originals are removed from your collection to create the new parallel.
There are also the Glitter Dust and Silver Spectrum parallels, which can only be pulled from packs. They are e-Pack exclusive and cannot be found in hobby boxes in stores. These will be mentioned again later as they are used for additional achievements!
Rare, Epic, and Legendary Parallels
Uncut Sheets
There will be limited amounts of Uncut Sheets available for the first few to complete certain parallel sets. One sheet will feature cards 1-100, and the second will feature cards 101-200. These sheets are how the cards look before cut into individual cards and make for rare and beautiful display pieces. They are also hand-numbered to showcase their limited nature.
The first 25 collectors to complete and redeem a full Epic Parallel set will receive the 2 Uncut Sheets featuring the base set of the Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection. Then, the first 10 collectors to collect and redeem a full Legendary parallel set will receive the 2 uncut sheets featuring that set. The first 5 collectors to complete and redeem the full Minted Gold parallel set will receive the correlating 2 uncut sheets of that set. Lastly, the FIRST collector to complete and redeem the Transmog parallel set will receive the correlating 2 uncut sheets.

The Innkeepers Collection
For fans of Hearthstone®, I’m sure you’ll be collecting The Innkeepers Collection cards, which each produce 3 random Hearthstone Classic Mini cards. There are a few different parallels which have different card backs, such as the Mage and Golden varieties. You can redeem the The Inkeepers Collection cards for the Hearthstone Mini cards from the Achievements page.
The first 1,000 collectors to complete and redeem the full set of Hearthstone Mini Classic cards will receive a The Innkeepers Collection Year of the Dragon card. These can then be redeemed for 3 Hearthstone Mini Year of the Dragon cards!
Printing Plates
Another unique collectible obtainable through these achievements is a Printing Plate Booklet. Printing plates come in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black and are the metal sheets used in the printing of the cards. By collecting and redeeming specific sets of cards, collectors can obtain a booklet of the plates used in printing one of the base cards from the Blizzard Entertainment Legacy Collection. There are 7 insert sets to collect for this achievement: Art of Samwise, Blizzcon, Patch Notes, Emotes!, Horadric Cube, Ultimate Ready, and War Banners. Once all the cards needed are collected, you can press the “Redeem” button on the achievements page.

Dedicated and Fragment Relic Achievements
The last two achievements give you the opportunity to collect pieces of Blizzard Entertainment history. One can be redeemed for a Memorabilia card that contains a piece of one of the original flags that flew at the Blizzard Entertainment campus. The second can be redeemed for a Fragment Relic card with a piece of a World of Warcraft® server blade!
The Campus Flag Dedicated Achievement is available for the first 292 collectors to complete and redeem both the Glitter Dust and Silver Spectrum parallel sets. These two parallels are unique to the Upper Deck e-Pack site and not found in hobby boxes. The server blade Fragment Relic cards will be available for the first 8 collectors to complete and redeem the Realm Lords 1 Common set.
