Thank you for the video.  I had been floundering in the 2-5 ranks for a while, but after watching, focused on a single, fast deck and was able to hit Legend.

Anyone else wish that the requirement to earn the card back was higher? I want having a card back to represent some sort of skill. Getting to level 20 is too easy...

There already is a card back with a higher requirement: Legend. This game is free to play and tries to be very inclusive for casual players who don't have much time. 20 is high enough for a reward you can only get during that month. If they add more card backs that are permanently available like the Legend card back then I think they'd be willing to increase the requirements. 

I understand what you're saying and I do agree with you and it makes more sense for a higher requirement if it sticks around like the Legend cardback. That being said, I still think it should be more intermediate. Rank 20 is really easy. I like achievements that would encourage me to improve. Someone with an extremely low win percentage can get to rank 20 pretty fast. But this is just my opinion I suppose.

Even though there is a higher-rank card back reward I do agree with you. Rank 20 is ridiculously easy to obtain, even if you have no idea what you're doing you can just smash your head against the screen for a few hours until you win enough to get to Rank 20.

Personally I always thought it should be 15, that's a decent middleground in my opinion. 

What about a Card back more (rank 10+)???

Not a bad video, I would love to make legend.. but I fall into the category of switching decks all the time. I get bored of playing the same one :( But I have a healthy competition with a friend so hopefully we both try harder next season and push each other to legend! 

EDIT: I love that Hearthstone tracker, thanks!!

Yeah for new card backs, But I want the season 3 one more.

I hope i can get there! It will be tough though..

Loved this post!  Hopefully all can watch this so that the amount of forum topics of "Its no fun, I could play [fill in the blank deck] and faceroll to legend, but thats just stupid" will decrease.

I would love to see cardbacks as something you could assign to decks. When I played magic I chose sleeves based on the deck; that concept should be included in Hearthstone.

Nice video

Good video! I am currently in doubt whether I should try and make the push for legend from rank 4

@DescHearth:
Try, because there's no reason not to. I almost stopped at Rank 5 out of sheepishness then managed to hit Legend. I'm very glad I tried.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! I'm rank 1 atm, climb is going faster than I anticipated.
Saw you ran with shaman aswell and was gonna ask you some questions on your deck (harvest golem vs farseer and pyro vs thalnos), but I see you allready addressed both of them in your guide now :)

I really like the innovation of putting Alexstrasza in your deck btw. I might add that to mine later.

Go go get that card back! :D

Thanks for posting this video, I think a big mistake people make is thinking they just need the right deck to hit Legend. Lots of learning is involved!
