I just want to share one my opinion. I think people are complaining too much about this tavern brawl getting card back and not card pack. Imo I think getting card back is way too better than packs because backs are usually unique and you can only win it in one period of time. I would love to see more brawls with card back as reward because you can buy your boring pack for 100 gold and because they are the classic ones and most of the players have important classic cards and even unexperienced should have them because they are most important in the game. I would like you to post your own opinion and is card pack really more important to you than nice designed card back? Also for players who have whole classic set and are actually f2p players is better to get card back.
While I agree that people complain too much about it, it's kinda lame on Blizzard's part to not give both. The card back is indeed cooler and the unique factor is pretty sweet, but why not just do both? I'm fine either way, I'm not broken up about 1 Classic pack, but I still fail to see why they don't just do both.
I'm sure when you get right down to it, most people want the pack because it's "money" (i.e. it fills holes in your collection, or provides dust), where a card back is only ever temporary (although it does has "value" to collectors). There will be another one that comes out that most people will be replacing their Diablo themed back. I mean, they just gave us the Jade Lotus card back for January, which imo is actually cooler than the Diablo one (and I'm a total Diablo fanboy).
So while the card back is sweet and all, I likely won't use it very often with all the options. The card pack however, bumps my collection either via cards or dust. So personally I like getting the pack, but I do also enjoy collecting more card backs as well. It's just kind of hard to get excited about something that doesn't actually do anything (talking about card back).
For instance, I remember I really wanted the Old Gods preorder card back (with the googly eyes n shit), but ended up not getting it. I was pretty upset for a while, but then I realize that I haven't even seen that card back in half a year, which imo is one of the best backs to date. So all in all, backs are temporary, but packs are permanent (in a sense). Pack plz.

Card back is better how? Does the card back generate dust, cards you don't have, reduce your legendary pity timer, etc? They should just give both and stop being stingy. This is supposedly a celebration event and yet another useless card back doesn't feel like much to celebrate.

i just cant understand this. its a free game. blizz is generous with the free pack a week.
they did so much great work with this weeks brawl. i would expect anything of a reward than the brawl itself.
the back is debateble, could be more unique like the winterveil-back but this is complaining on a very high level.
you guys should just enjoy this brawl but you always are so greedy ... sad.
It's not about greed. Would you rather have a quarter or a commemorative coin? One has value, and the other is simply aesthetic. It's a pretty straightforward choice for most.

I like the card back too, looks nice while the majority of them are, IMO, horrible.
And I think complaining about the way the game decides to give stuff for just a few minutes of play is silly. But saying an aesthetic is better than a pack with potential tools to play the game, to do the real thing that matters, just takes silliness to a far far away level.
If I was offered a single pack a month but being forced to play exclusively with a flashy pinky cookie styled card back, which I don't like, I'd do it.
If there was a shop selling awesome card backs for 100g, or even 50g, I'd spend 0g total there for sure.

of course its about greed. you dont care if the brawl is good or not. you care about the reward and thats it.
my post said it all. brawl is great. good work. no need for any reward! but you got a card back that may fit a demonic-themed deck or something like that. i will put the back on my demon-lock deck.
but its more about the fact that people will ALWAYS complain. if the brawl is shit and inunspirational, people dont enjoy the free-pack but complain about the uncreativity. if the brawl is good and you get a nice gimmick with it, people complain about not getting the free pack.
thats ungrateful!
Wanting the weekly pack that we've become accustomed to getting each week does not make one greedy.
Also, my response was only to point out that a pack is more useful to the average player than a card back. One advances you within the game and the other is no different than just using a different hero skin. I would imagine most F2P players prefer free packs to free artwork.

A quater is not even worth a minute of my time. The commemorative coin is priceless. Get a job and learn what your time is worth. That will help you understand why the majority of people are fine with just the cardback. Packs are cheap.

Isn't it the exact opposite though?
I've been using the pandaria cardback for years, while my golden Dr. Boom sees little play these days.
I beat the hooded guy but didn't get a pack for winning? Anybody else?
You're not supposed to. This Tavern Brawl celebrates Diablo's 20th Anniversary by awarding us with a card back instead.
No packs this week, just some card back. I want my pack too!
It's almost as if women play Hearthstone too or something.
</3
The prize is a card back celebrating the 20th year anniversery of Diablo
Well, can't say we didn't see these posts coming!
Diablo card back this week, no pack.
Card back > 40 dust imo
Definitely like the card back over the pack.
One of the few card backs that actually look good.
Well worth it.

I like both card pack and card bask for taverns like this one.
Card pack for regular boss and card back for king cow.
But only card back is okay too.and its a great card back

"even unexperienced should have them because they are most important in the game." nice logic there

People who want a pack probably picked the medicine instead of the container heart.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
