Warlords Cardback Changes Incoming
There was a mistake in the most recent Hearthstone patch which released an older version of the Warlord's Card Back. Hearthstone's Lead Artist, Ben Thompson, has stated that we will see the originally released card back return in a future patch!
Do you prefer the correct version, or the imposter?
"Warlords"
Correct Card Back
"Warlords Old"
Imposter Card Back
Quote from Ben ThompsonHey All! I wanted to say thanks for bringing this to our attention and for offering your thoughts on the Warlords of Draenor Cardback.
We absolutely agree with you and feel that the initial version of the card is definitely stronger visually. The iterative process of game creation assures that there will be always be multiple versions of any one asset in the game, and in this case we mistakenly released an older asset instead of the one revealed with the WOD expansion. We have updated this card back and you will notice the change in the near future.
Thanks so much for your feedback and we are happy to hear that the card backs play an exciting role in your enjoyment of Hearthstone!
Mekkatorque's Workshop #1
Noxious started up a new series called Mekkatorque's Workshop. Mekkatorque's Workshop is a show centered around the presentation of new card concepts. Every week, a theme is chosen around which a set of cards will be designed and presented during the show. Brainstorming occurs, tons of overpowered are generated, heaps of underpowered ones as well, and then we wade through the ideas and filter, adjust and polish them to make them seem as interesting as possible.
New episodes of Mekkatorque's Workshop will be uploaded to Noxious' YouTube channel, and streamed live on Noxious' Twitch, Tuesdays at 1PM EST. New episodes and discussion on the series are also available on the Mekkatorque Workshop thread here on HearthPwn.
This channel is a part of the Union For Gamers Network.

Leave it to Blizzard to "accidentally" release an old version of the card back. ;)
I like the new version as well. The coloring is better and more detailed. The red glowing in the imposter version does not look good.
The one with the glowing bits is the correct one...
I won't obtain the card back, but I personally would prefer the correct one with its slightly more vivid colors.
That little M/W looking thing in the center top and center bottom of the card is the Iron Horde's sigil/symbol/logo.
