Wow that looks amazing. I can tell you with 100% certainty it is fake, but holy cow it's beautiful. The bliz art team could definitely learn a lesson from this artist.

I agree, these cards look awesome. I would definitely not mind paying real money if they offered alternative arts for cards that look like these.
Pretty fantastic fan made stuff right here. Highly highly doubt it's legit, for one huge reason, other than this hasn't been data mined by this site yet, is that the art is covering the mana costs.
It's 100% fanmade, there is more of that on reddit. IMO that's how golden legendaries should look like. (iz blizzard want lazy)
HS was never intended to be a PC/Mac exclusive, it was intended to hit mobile devices pretty much from the start. On top of that also the accessibility on the PC/Mac platforms was of great significance to the design. HS doesn't have cooler golden cards because Blizzard's set itself a goal of delivering very similar experience to players across multiple platforms and device standard ranges. If they were to introduce these fancy effects en masse (more shaders, bone transformations, animated particles etc.) many of the low-end or even middle-tier devices wouldn't be able to handle the game or would have had to settle for inferior replacements. That would mean that users of such devices would feel excluded and treated as inferior. All in all it boils down to money. If they had done the cards that way, the game would had had less users, thus it would have made less money, while probably costing significantly more in terms of development (though the larger part of HS's cost is probably in upkeep).
I don't think so. Look at WoW. The difference between low end and high end is sickeningly obvious. If they are able to do it like that, where you can increase graphics through an option, then I think they should. And they should higher this artist cuz god DAMN that's gorgeous.
The mobile point you brought up is moot. The game only works on higher end devices and tablets (legally) that run even more graphically hungry games, like Need for Speed and Street Fighter IV.

If you're happy and you know it... well that's good :)

Well, if the other company can boost up Mortal Kombat X to run flawlessly on my iPad2 within just one update, I call bullshit on requirements ... I'd love to see the cards like these in the game and they would not take much more than goldens do now

Blizzard is lazy. There is so much unused Potential in this Game. You could basically do awesome Card Designs like that one in the opening Post because in the digital World, there are no boundaries. But they now, just Cards with cheap animations will generate same amount of income with lesser work.
I am eagerly awaiting your card game with superior graphics, card design, 3d modelling, and advanced shaders.

That also performs well on older machines, phones, and tablets across multiple operating systems!

Wondering if this is legit or not. Thoughts?

without any doubt is the coolest thing i ever saw regarding hs fan made content

I think the HH's mana cost is a bit trippy considering his abilities too, but hey.
Still gorgeous though.

And here I thought I was sick of seeing "Beyond Legendary" posts. These are quite cool.

Awesome they look. Fanmade for sure but maybe they´ll get some creative ideas to implement those kinds into HS
Awesome art but I think Blizzard gonna launch hearthstone on pagers too or may be fax machines.
They're cool aye, but I think a handful of these would just become an eyesore/distraction, if say, every legendary card was designed this way

Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Blizzard needs to hire this person, because damn
