probably along or just after pax east announcment (my guestimate) ... pre-sale should be = pre-order and as a bonus for your money up-front they give u a card back, otherwise what is the advantage / diference of purchaning it before/after lauch ?
Maybe the pre-sale offer you advanced access to the wings instead of the card back (probably all should have the card i think).
Will have to see what unveils in the following days :D
Unfortunatedly this time there is no chinese photo leaks :(

It's kind of ironic that the only nice card back will be the standard rag one. I can't really see anyone getting excited about gaining that pre-order one, and the heroic one is a bit ugly.

It has collectible value. Limited only for a short period of time.
If the card back actually cost anything on its own, I wouldn't care. But I intend to purchase the game (with $) anyhow so I might as well preorder and get the card back.
If they tied its design to a boss, like the regular season rag back, then yeah because it feels more unique and epIc. The one they chose is cool, but not special enough for paying in advance.

I still use the default card back because I really don't care.
Me too! And I dread the day when my hero turns gold. I want to be as anonymous as one can be to my opponents.
That's my dread too. I literally can't play mage in ranked anymore. she's at 499/500 wins, i don't want that gold hero. I hate using gold cards and i don't want my hero to not match my deck.

i actually like the heroic card back better than the presale one. though if financially able to i intend to buy the expansion (saves me from having to grind.)
To clarify: it is confirmed that the presale is cash only. the presale also will not grant early access to the wings. You'll have to wait til the first wing becomes available to do the first wing, then wait a week for the second wing, wait a week then 3rd wing...etc...

I think the reason to buy in presale is to avoid problems with the transactions. I mean Blizzard will have at least two weeks to solve any payment issues before release and it will result in a smoother launch. I'm pretty sure this was the main motivation, they just thrown in something to make it look like better.
I bought naxx with gold, but ill tell you what, im going to buy blackrock in advance to get that cardback. Im not rich, actualy i have less than most of you here, and yes, i could save gold for it, so why? BECOUSE I FUCKING LOVE FIRE AND MOLTEN CORE WAS MY FAVOURITE INSTANCE IN GAME. Thats why. So far the card is best looking in game and im kinda sure that next expansion i wont care that much about bonus card back, becouse it wont be BLACK AND FIERY!
ps.: is it just me or the hardcore clear reward card back is ugly as fuck?
At first I cared about card backs. However, when they started adding exclusive card backs for people that attend Blizzcon and card backs for people that buy the collector's edition of their other games which I no longer play (IE: WoW) I stopped caring. I'll continue to get my rank 20 every season because that's a given.
So, since I'm already missing some card backs that is no longer possible for me to collect ever, I'm no longer sad when I miss out on any other limited editions. This card back to me is no different. I'll continue collecting the ones I can and those that I have to spend extra for I won't bother with.
Also, I'm a F2P player. I already have enough gold to purchase all of BRM so I intend to buy it with gold. Once I get all of BRM, I'll continue to focus on getting the GvG cards I'm missing and still need. Though that list is extremely small now, there are very very few cards in GvG I still 'need'. Most of what I'm missing don't fit in the meta so it's just a matter of finishing off a collection.
anyone has any idea when this presale going to happen? and by presale you mean something like preorder or you will get the adventure instantly

Well ... now that the exclusive cardback is revealed and how to obtain it .... i will buy the adventure with GOLD.
I think it's rather lame and even glowing or an animation won't save it for me. It pretty much looks like it could be from any cave with some lava.
Also the heroic cardback looks a bit .... gross.

If you can't afford 25 dollars get a job
Ill use the answer i used in other thread:
