3- Unobtainable More than a year Card Backs ( For example first seasons card back or 2015 blizzard event card back etc.)
When you hit legend first you gained legend card back you know.. Than you hit legend again this time game give you a card back into section 3 which you dont have (like the rules legendary opening)
I actually do not think cardbacks from old season should be available again. it is only a visual thing and does not affect gameplay, and yet it is something for us who played back then. Having the cards backs being "craftable" removes anything special
Think about a newcomer to the game when he opened card back gallery he see tons of beatiful backs he never never achieve.. With my succestion he knows at least have a little chance.. Hitting the legend every season hard as hell thought..
Keep them as they are. Then I can feel even worse for the wankers playing pirate warrior in Wild casual with a 4 year old card back.
Jokes aside, it’s good to have them unobtainable, it’s exclusivity and flair. I messed up and missed the Khadgar hero, but as it’s just a cosmetic, I don’t actually care. Same with all the card backs. I have the ones for every season, but missed a bunch of promotional ones that required pre-orders.
I think some cardbacks should be reserved for Veterans like me - it should be something unique for long time players - if everybody could get them they would loose their value.
With my way a lot of people motivated hitting legend again.. For example myself i hit legend one time and never work on another.. every season hit rank 5 enough for me.. But if this happens i play this game every season with motivation and energy
I played this game since beta and i have almost all card backs but i want a chance and motivation, thats all..
So we are not only talking seasonal, but also those cardbacks from people buying collectors edition of other blizzard games (and blizzcon I guess)? That is an even bigger no for me. Those people chose to pay extra to get something exclusive and that should not being taken away for any reason at all
So think about blizz end the tespa support and Tespa card back becomes unobtainable tomorrow.. Then a whole year nobody reach this card back and the owners feels special,is this not enough?

I'm okay if they give them back to everyone in some way if people who originally owned them end up with some sort of distinction that showcases very easily they were earned back when it "mattered". It would be really cool to do the same thing for expansion-specific content such as the Naxxramas Heroic clear, though it wouldn't make sense to go back and change that one now because no one was made aware it was "worthwhile" to clear heroic naxx within the first few months of its release. If they do bring them back in some way though, making them purchasable would be a huge slap in the face to everyone.
Something as simple as making the slot around your deck golden if the card back was obtained during the relevant time frame would be an awesome way to showcase your l33tn3ss.
Ultimately though, you are correct, it's just cosmetic and people shouldn't have a problem with other people having trophies of time. A lot of the newer card backs look 10x better anyway :D
It's funny though because in a few years, as people leave the game and new players join, this month's card back will also be a rarity that people will desire. All that needs to happen is for people to wait, which is exactly what the Black Temple and Pandaria card back people have had to do to get to this point.
I have a idea for that;
Card Backs divide into three sections,
1- Still Obtainable
2- Become Unobtainable Last Year
3- Unobtainable More than a year Card Backs ( For example first seasons card back or 2015 blizzard event card back etc.)
When you hit legend first you gained legend card back you know.. Than you hit legend again this time game give you a card back into section 3 which you dont have (like the rules legendary opening)
What do you think guys?
Would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?
I mean you even name them Unobtainable , so why should they be obtainable again?
Hitting the legend again feels more satisfaction this way and unobtainable more than a year something not break the game or anything right?

Dibbity don't touch that!

I have all card backs you mentioned but never use of them my all decks, i prefer latest and yes "goodlooking" ones ;)

Except Golden obviously.. But Rarest card backs for example Golden or Tespa is always obtainable so my suggestion never give somebody one of them..
So think about blizz end the tespa support and Tespa card back becomes unobtainable tomorrow.. Then a whole year nobody reach this card back and the owners feels special,is this not enough?
"Related other blizz games card backs" all obtainable still im not mentioned these but yes for example 2014 blizzcon card back included, 2018 not ..
Complete Dungeon Run with all classes to get a sp... (stopped reading.)
The minority of players who actually do care about card-backs should at least have no doubt about what was required at what time to obtain them.
