just saw the original comment on the hearthpwn announcement page, maybe they got it from there originally , sorry if i could delete the post , i would.
agmen92 on reddit found a way to trick the game into thinking you're playing from the respective device
all you need to do is
So as most of you know there are 3 Cardbacks obtainable by logging into the game via an Iphone, Android and PC with the newest Patch.
If you don't however own an Iphone/ Android and want those cardbacks too without using an Emulator, you can simply do the following:
Go to the folder where HS is installed. (For me it was "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Hearthstone")
There you will find a file called "client.config", open it up and add
If "client.config" doesn't exists, simply create a new .txt file with the lines above and save it as "client.config". To show extensions open Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization. Now, click on Folder Options or File Explorer Option, as it is now called > View tab. In this tab, under Advanced Settings, you will see the option Hide extensions for known file types. Uncheck this option and click on Apply and OK. Now remove the ".txt" extension from the file.
Also if you never played a ranked match on those devices you can still get 1 classic pack each by playing(conceding works too) one match for "Android Phone", "iPhone", "iPad" and "Android Tablet"
don't forget to make sure the wording is correct or you will get stuck on the loading screen, if it happen try to change it, it's case sensitive so "iPhone" is correct but "IPhone" is not , after that don't forget the delete the line or config file to revert to the original condition.
try this at your own risk, but we should be fine.
currently one of the reddit mod is trying to contact blizzard CM , so we will get to know if this is okay or not. i just hope the CM is a good and thorough with checking the rules, because in the past i saw one CM said pity timer doesn't exist.
Wow, that's crazy easy for four packs and two cardbacks. Only snag was that I missed the paragraph as to what to do when the file isn't there :P Shame that there's no samsung galaxy string :P
Thank you :D I am extremely happy to get a cardback for iPhone and two classic packs. Correct the "iTablet" on "iPad", for those who want to get a classic packs :)
Is changing the config file safe from a ToS perspective?
Im not really keen on potentially getting my 5+ year account defoo'ed over a cardback
like what people have commented in that reddit post , no one have been banned so far for all the spoofing they done . i don't think they would risk losing some player over this , they would lose a lot of goodwill for something trivial. i think they just wouldn't encourage it like the decktracker stuff , not encouraging/endorsing it but they also not banning it.

There you will find a file called "client.config", open it up and add
[Emulation]
emulateOnDevice = 1
DeviceName = "Android Phone"
or
[Emulation]
emulateOnDevice = 1
DeviceName = "iPhone"
depending on what cardback you are looking for.

no "immediate concern" from the cm or the dev yet, so this should be like hdt , ok but they won't say "ok" openly.
You just have to play on each device, not win, not even long, you can directly concede and get the free pack per emulated device
You don’t have to play a match, the reward is for simply logging into the respective devices.
I can confirm it works :) Damn, thats an easy way to cheat the system lol.
Funnily enough, i wanted to make a screenshot, but i have no clue where it saved lol :D Not in the regular place, that much i can tell :)

Insane, thanks for the free packs & card backs!
Thanks a lot! Pristine cardback and 3 easy card packs for no time!
I play strictly on mobile. No hack to get the PC Card back. Thread fail.

NVM.
Dab
i didn't discover it, and i think the redditor saw a comment from here https://www.hearthpwn.com/news/6659-rise-of-shadows-patch-full-notes-free-card-backs#c176 , comment number 176 but yeah this saves a ton of work/data especially for people with limited data plan.

you deserve a million like for this easy way , thanks so much .
thank you very much for creating a dedicated thread, i am rarely on reddit or read comments on hearthpwn's mainpage and would have missed it for sure!
Yeah... honestly blizzard should fix this.
If not then they should just give us the card backs for free.
Anyone knows if works for galaxy s6?
No string is known for that particular device specific cardback.
I can't find client.config
You have to create it.
@ OP - thanks for reposting this trick. I got 4 free packs and Tinkmaster Overspark in one of them. <3
