Hearthstone Patch 8834: Heroes of the Storm Rewards
A new Hearthstone build has made its way to Blizzard's servers and includes the card back that we previously found in the Heroes client.
Heroes of the Storm Card Back
A new card back has been added which is rewarded from the quest "Hero of the Storm". It is obtained by hitting level 12 in Heroes of the Storm. Check out our animated preview of this card below (requires an updated browser)
Heroes Mount Quest
The quest "Easy Rider" has been added to the game which rewards you with an in-game mount in Heroes of the Storm for winning 100 games in Hearthstone's play mode. Checkout a video of the mount in action below.

Awesome that you have putt he animated version in here! Thanks a lot. I hope to see soon all the cards animated! :) Ingame it is too small sadly.
I really REAALLYYY want to make a Twisting Nether deck just for this card back. Too sexy.
This card back is sick.glad i am 40 from Alpha.
It says preview in title, just noticed myself. It should be in by june 2nd
I'm assuming as long as you are level 12 on heroes, you should be able to get the card back as soon as the hearthstone client patches.
The Heroes mount though, it has an internal release date of June 2, so my guess would be on June 2 as long as Hearthstone has been patched you can get the mount. Internal release dates for heroes have not always been accurate though so it may just be rewarded whenever you complete the quest in Hearthstone.
Both of the Hearthstone quests added in today's build trigger with licenses on your battle.net account, which means other games on battle.net can see what you've completed.
So if for example, you get to level 12 on heroes, that will trigger a license to your battle.net account, which the hearthstone servers will then recognize and give you the card back in game.
Will we get cardback immediately when we hit lvl 12 or we must wait till 2. June? :)
Was it just patched in or is it coming June second, me is confuze
EDIT: NVM it says preview in the title D:
Nice card back, and such a nice mount for HoTS, would be kind of cool if you needed to have reached legend once in hearthstone to use the legend card back variation mount in HoTS. Although, I don't blame them for the decision not to, due to the backlash they would probably receive.
Everyone who plays Heroes has to be way over level 12 by now, what's this grind you speak of?
the grind is the fact heroes sucks
1. That isn't even true.
2. You're only talking about the small minority of people that have been in closed beta up to this point.
You dont need to play 100 more games on hs or you need to get the mount for HosT? Thanks ^^
Time to Grind! I always complain about needing more rewards than cardbacks - which we still do! - but damn.
That is one fine looking cardback.
