They're obviously not going to bring back the cardbacks you got for randomly passing rank 20 in April 2014 or things like that. They're more talking about the ones linked to seasons and events. You can wear your repulsive cardbacks knowing full well some people can't, but most people won't, use the same.

Look, I want to tell you something because you're very dear to me. And I hope you understand that it comes from the bottom of my damaged, damaged heart. You are the finest piece of ass I've ever had and I don't care who knows it. I am so glad that I got to roam those hillsides.
However, having played a lot of WoW in my day, Blizzard has a tendancy to bring things back from the past obtainable through new methods, often easier than they were before (although in this case, I don't know how they could make them easier to obtain than hitting Rank 20). Examples are with the old Vanilla PvP titles, or rare unobtainable items being put into the Black Market Auctionhouse.
My personal annoyance was them nerfing Conqueror/Justicar battleground reputations, after 7 years in their previous state. What's the point of doing it after all that time? Plenty of people had earned it by then, so doing that is just stepping on the toes of anyone who got it legitimately.
But I'm sure most people here haven't played WoW and have no idea what I'm talking about.
My point is, I don't mind how easy or difficult they make something to begin with, just don't then change it later on down the line. They could make it so every monthly cardback from August 2018 and beyond will be obtainable in subsequent months, I'd be fine with that. But don't go around and bring the old stuff back when they are already consigned to history, it will only annoy people and won't satisfy many.
It is interesting to consider that card backs are the most valuable commodity in Hearthstone - for many card backs, if you are missing one, there is no possible way to obtain it.
I really like collecting card backs and it tilts me a bit that I missed some of the best ones, like the Old Golds preorder and the Halloween Pumpkin. That said, I have some nice ones too, like Dalaran Flame and Pandaria.
On balance though, I would prefer to keep them exclusive. If everyone had them, they wouldn't be special and, at the end of the day, they are just cosmetics.

Well said, and interesting that you brought up the Dalaran Flame card back. When that was announced, I freak out (in a bad way). "what do you mean I need to basically be in college to get this back, I have kids in college, age discrimination"!!!! (I had every card back at the time so this was a real blow) However, when I found out you could get that card back by attending "The Heroes of the Dorm" event, I believe in 2015, out in L.A. (about a 2 hour drive for me), I made it a point to attend the event, just for the card back. I agree that if everyone could get them they wounldn't be as cool. They show off a persons longevity, hard work, money/time spent, etc.....
Well I heard about this game in early 2016 and I've never missed one day since then let alone not getting a card back. However I wasn't around when they gave out the ninja card back and I want it bad, SUE ME!!
Who thout That the Card Backs that We got in the past years would become so Special today ?!
At the end of early seasons all of you are just looking forward for the Golden cards and when the new card back pops up You look at it for second and say ( meh.. just another colorful garbage I obtained ...)
ME and all of you didn't care about it so don't lie on me and make it looks like you obtained it through fighting 1000S of Battles..... lol
But I don't want new players to have the same card backs as I have otherwise they won't be Special . :P
My favorite card Back is ( NINJAs ) with Rogue 🗡

100% agree.
