Card backs are a thoroughly cosmetic item that in no way affect gameplay. This isn't Magic the Gathering where a reprint of dual lands could crash the market. It's a cosmetic item, and one that new players have asked for for YEARS. Blizzard finally listening should be seen as a positive, because historically they don't listen to their players and/or do things at a molasses pace. If you're upset that new players can get a *cosmetic item that affects nothing other than your ego,* you are the actual worst kind of human being and clearly forgot what having fun is.
For anyone not a punk: Enjoy your Ragnaros card back, friends :)
Why do people even care about card backs? We all now that the only card back worth rocking is the legendary card back as it shows what you have achieved. That is how I feel anyway.
Has anyone been upset about this? I haven't heard any complaints, and if they exist I'm sure they're a small handful of players. That sentiment does suck, though, and I don't doubt those people are out there.
It is cool that they're rewarding old card backs, though. I think there's a speck of merit to having some exclusivity for early players getting card backs from beta and GvG and Grand Tourney. It feels cool to people who like that stuff when they can show off something from ranked play 4 years ago, and that's fine.

I haven't seen anyone complaining about letting n00bs have a cardback. The posts I see show annoyance of getting a non-reward. I'm fairly certain that the second Christmas brawl gave a pack of you already had the back, not sure why they couldn't do that here. Of course these mythical n00b players you talk about complained then because they wanted 40 dust instead of a back. There really is no pleasing some people.

I can think of several card backs that took more effort and/or skill than hitting legend.

Which ones? And don't tell me it is easier to reach legend than complete some simple heroic adventures.
But you dont have those from 2014 the beginning year. They give only from 2015 never 2014.
Those are prestige: _)
I literally cannot see what is prestigeful about having the earliest cardbacks. So, you've played for a long time - that doesn't mean you're good or anything. It simply means you knew about Hearthstone early on, maybe because you play/have played other Blizzard games. Wow, much cool, very prestige.
Meanwhile in 2014, I couldn't have told you a single thing about Blizzard or any gaming company really, because I didn't play at all. So because I was totally oblivious to the existence of Hearthstone in 2014, I can't have the Pirates! cardback for my water rouge deck, or the Hallow's End cardback to use around Halloween?
The only 'prestigeful' cardbacks are Legend, which shows dedication, and Golden Celebration, which is proof that you're pretty hecking good at Hearthstone.

I haven't seen any of this outrage you're talking about, and I don't mind at all that they are making an old card back available.
However, those of us who have been supporting the game for years ARE getting shafted out of a reward.
A better (and more lucrative) way to offer old card backs would be to sell them for gold or cash.

noone cares about card back we wants Tyrande back ...
I have a feeling OP is missing plenty of card backs.

Dam can downvote this legend card back is a joke
Good to hear blizzard listening players. I don't mind they are making a hero skin available, the cosmetic effects are way more attractive.
