Yeah, sure, bro. Last time I checked, earning most card backs in this game requires you to just spend around an hour playing it every month. Even a five years old kid can do that! XD
Having the same issue. Also, earned it in back in the day for whatever that's worth. I play on mobile and can select any cardback as my favorite EXCEPT for the cupcake cardback.
So did anyone end up getting it? I checked every day and never saw it being able to purchase but if you go to the card backs it says "get rank 20 april 2015 or purchase during scholomance academy launch period"
I bought the previous naxx card back so I'm quite pissed not getting this one and theres no way I missed seeing it as started to check the games store every day even when the naxx card back was still available. The naxx card back went away and nothing came in its place
Exactly! Suprising then, that someone would want to buy one.
A season cardback says "I was there". Simple thing, nice gimmick.
Buying a cardback is like buying a participation trophy of a sports event. It's sad.
I get your point but it's a Collectible Card Game, so you can't blame people playing a CCG to have a tendency to collect and for being interested in completing their collection.

Season cardbacks are the epitome of participation trophy. If you show up and play some--that is, if you participate--you get one.
Now, that's not a bad thing. These days (well, the recent past, before the pandemic), getting kids into athletics can often be a worthwhile goal in itself. Some kid spends their Saturday morning or whatever putting on kit and kicking a soccer ball around the pitch? Thumbs up to that.
Hello, so my question is do you have similar problem? And what to do with it? Wait?
Now that you mention it, yeah, I did have the same problem. I had the Cupcake since back in the day, and it'd been my favorite for over a year. But I noticed I was seeing the plain cardback the other day. Went in, saw the Cupcake was still my favorite, but switched to Icecrown (alas, I missed Black Temple by a month) since it just felt like a time to change in light of the back being up for sale.
Never really thought much about it at the time, but it seems Bliz screwed something up.

Are you on a diet ? If yes, Blizzard knows.
Good! Cardback should be earned, not bought.
Not everyone started playing before april 2015.
I hope Blizzard will add more in the store just to make you even more salty.
justice for my cupcake!!!
i have my cupcake from 2015...you all right?

It's a cosmetic, dude. Yeah, not a great one (for obvious reasons I don't need to explain) but still a cosmetic.

I can see the Rainbow card being put up for sale too, perhaps in the (possible) Darkmoon Faire expansion. I'm in favor for this 👍🏻

Take a walk on the wild side...
No. It hasn't been on sale yet as I've checked every day too. Maybe blizzard was just teasing
