'Cause if i have to pay 1 euro it will be pretty unfair while half the world is paying a lot less. I won't even buy it if that's the case, but i am just saying why.

I assume it'll work like iphone app store, Americans pay a 99c, UK pays £0.79 and rest of EU pays... something?

yeah easy argument. Nobody is forced to do anything, that doesn't mean doing a 1dollar=1euro conversion (or anything else) is fair, like Steam got away with for a long time.
I don't know what the prices are, but I usually am strongly against supporting any f2p model. F2p is a model I'm strongly against, and it's taking over the gaming world, little by little.
Why don't you like F2P? If the game is well designed (and this one is), you don't have to buy anything. Other people buying things allows you to play for free, and the option is always there to dump a few bucks into something you enjoy.
The only time I get annoyed with the F2P model is if progression is far too slow without paying or if large parts of the game are locked behind purchases. Hearthstone does not fit either of those scenarios.
Subscription fees are already slightly different, so expect it to be slightly different. There's no legal requirement for them to charge the same in every country as far as I'm aware; just look at steam, where you can pay almost double on some games if you are paying by Euro.
It's the same deal with wow.
You can pay 8,99£, 12,99€ or 14.99$ per month depending on where you live. Now naturally those values don't have the same value when you convert. I remember "moving" to england to save money as 8,99£ is less than 12,99€.
8,99£ = 10,65€
8,99£ = 13,66$
look, let's see it like this: I believe 1 month of WoW sub costs 15 dollards, am I correct?
that's about R$30,00 in brazil. but you know how much we brazillians pay for 1 month? R$15,00.
if we extend this to hearthstone, packs will probably cost 1 dollar in the US, 1 euro in europe, 1 real in brazil, and 1 whatever anywhere else
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
I have a shrewd suspicion it's going to be 1 dollar = 1 euro = 0.79 pounds, leaving us eurobros screwed again. It's just easier for them to promote with 1 euro a package, even though it's technically more then the US pays. The current transfer would actually be more like 1 dollar = 0.79 euro = 0.65 pounds, so you can see how fast we'd start paying a LOT more then the US.
So Europeans pay 13$ for 10 packs, where the Americans pay 10$ it's not that big of a deal really. And i guess we play on EU servers so we only play against people who pay the same for card packs, so none you play against have a financial advantage?
