I hope I'm understood and understand your reply correctly. Are you refering to this specific case here with Millhouse?

SpecificallyI 'm asking because I've dusted Genn and Baku when they were Hall of Famed back in 2019 for example, before legendary duplication protection has been implemented.

When I open Witchwood Packs now and don't own every Legendary, do I have a chance to pull Genn or Baku before I have every other Legendary of that set or did the fact that I owned Genn and Baku at some point in the past stop me from pulling them now before I own all other Legs?

I'm assuming it's the former because I think I got a legendary I dusted some time ago once again as a "freebie" with a bundle.

Genn and Baku would be before that, so indeed the system would not know you had them.

Ever since duplicate protection was implemented, back in... Early 2020, I think? Long before these cards were released.

Can I please get a chance to reroll the extra copies of manastorm atleast?

I'm sorry, Reroll is for things that can't be disenchanted.

Ah, then this is working as intended. Duplicate Protection is based on what you have ever gotten, not what you currently have. (Imagine how unfortunate it would be if you got a card, disenchanted it because you didn't want it, and then got it again.)

Once you have gotten all of them (which it seems you have), it's pure random. So you can get those again, but it's not guaranteed.

Have you disenchanted any Signatures from FoL? If you had them before and disenchanted them, getting them back again would be pure random, so quite hard. If not, please DM me your btag so we can investigate.

Patch 27.4.3 is a server-side hotfix patch rolling out today with the following updates and bug fixes.

Hearthstone Update

  • The Jailer has been temporarily banned from Standard and Wild

Dev Comment: We’re putting The Jailer in jail for his crimes against the meta. When we made our last set of changes, Druid was still developing as a class following the Mini-Set. After our changes were locked in, Tony Druid appeared as a top archetype in Standard. We know that we want to adjust something in that deck in our next balance window, and we also know we don’t want this deck to warp the meta in the meantime, so we’re temporarily banning The Jailer until our next scheduled balance patch.

The Jailer will be released on bail (unbanned) in our next scheduled balance patch. At that time, we’ll make other adjustments to address Tony Druid and anything else that needs tweaking.

Patch 27.4.2 is a data-only balance patch, launching today, with the updates across modes.

Hearthstone Updates

Dev Comment: We have a lot of card changes in this patch, and a lot to share about why these changes are being made. 

For the Standard-focused changes, we’re addressing both power outliers and play experience outliers in this patch. When we buffed Warrior in our last balance patch, we did so knowing that they’d get more powerful tools in the Mini-Set, but we wanted to make sure that the deck hit, so we erred on the side of over-buffing it, knowing that we’d have the option to make a small correction back down if we needed. Now that the Mini-Set has landed, Warrior is looking like one of the most standout classes, so we’re making those adjustments. Hunter also has one of the strongest decks in the format, and we’d expect it to get even stronger after the other changes we’re making in this p...
