Oh man, I really want this.
That card back looks computer generated. Blizzard should just hire their fans to do the art.
Yeah. That Blizzcon card looks like something that didn't make the cut for any of the seasons leading up to November.
The Tespa card has some nice design work involved, working in the Tespa logo into the design.
Don't really care much about the Blizzcon one but man, that TeSPA cardback *waves farewell* :'(
Seems like a bit of a marketing fail. If they'd made another cool promo card like Elite Tauren Chieftain (instead of just a back), I would probably have thrown money at it.
Very Disappointing that the Artwork for the Blizzcon Exclusive card back is so Bland.
Ooh, shiny things I can't have! How I enjoy looking upon them from a distance!
*uncontrollable sobbing*
Well, discrimination begins. Fancy features not for vagabonds.
Will Blizzard make an article "You are not so poor as you think" showing that 99,9% of players do not have Dalaran Flame and Blizzcon backs, as well as Golden Tauren Chieftain and Gelbin cards and that's ok?
UPD. Actually, I think that everyone will appreciate opportunity for crafting ANY card back for a dust (except available for obtaining like Heroic Naxxramas, Fireside and Legend), starting, let's say from 10k dust for Pandaria. At this case its a fair deal I think.
So by that you mean, if you ever were to go to a concert and was offered a free T-shirt because you bought a ticket and showed up. You would say "No" because it would be unfair to the people who bought the albums and didn't get one?
If they are giving the card back as a goodie-bag item, why would that effect anyone who doesn't get it? It's a card back as any other card back and all cards will always have a card back. But you say "discrimination" because you didn't get the right shade of blue?
I'm sorry but if this is the case it's just childish jealousy.
I mean, that if I hadn't attend the concert and didn't receive FREE t-shirt, I just want to have an opportunity to order that absolutely exclusive and facny t-shirt through official online store for XXX$ or XXXX dust. And I do not think that this is childish. I visited Depeche Mode concert by a simple ticket - I didn't have a dinner with Gahan but I have seen the show and had an opportunity to dance. Asking for availability of those card backs - it's not a requirement of becoming member of Team5, but a desire to BUY in-game goodie for money (that will surely enrich developers), time spent on playing and obtaining (that will increase game popularity), loyalty and interest and so on. And yes - it is jealousy, whats wrong with it?
The Blizzcon card back is a bit disappointing. The TeSPA card back however, is awesome! If only I was in college :'(
"Look at me, I'm in one of those cults!"
I'll be sure to take my time during turns against anyone who has this garbage.
Jealousy. It's real.
BlizzCon Cardback:
Only a cardback is really a bit weak. I expected a (golden) fun card like ETC / Gelbin with a lot of RNG.
Open your collection in Hearthstone, then filter for "Promo Set". There are only those two cards and what other event fits a promo card better than the one and only Blizzcon?!
TeSPA Cardback:
As a collector of nerd stuff I am really disappointed to not have even the chance of getting all the card backs.
I really hope that they will implement a solution to get that card back in another way - even if it's very hard to get or expensive, but collectors DO WANT TO HAVE A CHANCE to get it.
I don't think they bought the ticket to Blizzcon just because of a card back.
Not a cardback I would pay money for. This card has convinced me that I do not have to pay for Blizzcon this year.
If they wanted my money, they should have designed another gimmick card, ala Elite Tauren Chieftain. A card back seems kinda weak.
Urghh! Another cardback that I'll sorely missed :(
Looks kinda ugly :->
Man, this thing looks so nice.
meh..
