October Card Back - Highmaulin' and Brawlin'
The October card back has been revealed, and it's all about those Highmaul Ogres!
Quote from BlizzardThe October Ranked Play Season is now live—and we’re unveiling a new card back you can add to your collection!YOU SMASH PUNY OPPOSITION with the Highmaul card back! You can only earn this brutish card back by playing Hearthstone during the month of October.
These card backs replace the art decorating the reverse side of your cards and are a great way to show off your Hearthstone accomplishments. Add the Highmaul card back to your collection by hitting Rank 20 in Ranked Play mode. You’ll receive the Highmaul card back at the end of October’s Ranked Play Season.
Don’t forget—the further you move up the Ranked Play ladder, the more bonus stars you’ll receive next season. In Ranked Play, you’ll receive bonus stars based on your performance from the previous season —one bonus star per rank you attained. Please note that even if bonus stars from the previous season get you directly to Rank 20 or above, you still have to log in at least once each Ranked Season to qualify for the card back reward.
If you have already reached rank 20 then now is the time to push yourself even further as with the close of this season you will receive a Bonus Chest with rewards based on the highest rank you achieved during the season!
Become Ogre royalty in the October Ranked Play Season, Highmaulin’ and Brawlin’, running through the month of October!

Me no stooopid.
Looks pretty cool
I don't like this cardback, I've seen better ones.
One of the recent card backs I liked the least :(
To be honest I don't quite like this one at all... But then again Exodar looked really good, but turned out so bright and pink that it's too much for me. Maybe this one will actually look a lot better than now once it gets animated.
t doesn't really look like an Ogre themed card back. I would expect bones, hammers and stones...
It's based on a Draenor ogre city, Highmaul. If you knew the lore, you would know that Draenor ogres are a LOT more intelligent than Azeroth ogres, with all those kinds of forbidden magic and stuff.
If you know the lore, you know that Ogres of Draenor moved to Azeroth at the first and second war of Warcraft... that's why there are Ogres in Azeroth in the first place.
Those are the other ogres, from Warlords of Draenor, where Draenor is in an alternate timeline, where the first and second wars never happened and orcs never went conquering Azeroth.
Our timeline ogres - yes, they are dumb. But in an alternate one, things are a lot more different. You just have to play WoD / read its lore to find out more about it.
AU Ogre weren't smarter than the Ogre's on Azeroth and Outland. There is no proof that backs you up, so don't act like you know the Lore, you don't.
HighMaul got destroyed when Ner'zhul wrecked Draenor into Outland. That's why the Ogres on Main universe look dumb to you.
Not bad. Probably won't see play for me, but It's a nice addition to my collection.
I'm not sure why I like this card back so much but I really do.
thats a good one
decent card back, like it
I know there is a lot of work on each card back and feel a little guilt when I don't like one.
The fact that you post this means you appreciate Blizz's work more than a lot of other people. But we can't like everything and that's nothing to feel guilty for!
I love and hate this card back.
I love it because Ogres are cool and I hate it because highmaul...... Never going back there
Nice card back... but not animated? Thanks to the bonus stars rewards, I'm already past rank 20, so I'll get it for sure, yay!
The animated card backs are never shown until the last or second last week of the season.
Golden epic reward is pretty OP, loving it.
