Kobolds and Catacombs Pre-Order In-Game

The patch has added a pre-order for Kobolds and Catacombs. You are also able to pre-order using the Battle.net shop, but if you want a discounted expansion, you can use Amazon Coins once the app update goes live on the Amazon App Store.

Pre-ordering the expansion gets you the "For the Hoard" card back.

New Card Backs

The only card back added is "For the Hoard", the pre-order card back.
