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!

I like this card back
"Don’t forget—the further you move up the Ranked Play ladder, the more bonus stars you’ll receive next season."
Yeah because people who didn't care about ranking up sure are motivated to get those bonus stars now!
It might sound strange, but one incentive to gain ranks is in fact the bonus stars.

It'd be neat, if it comes with "50% Chance to use another random card back".
Haha! :D Good one :)
That looks sexy af, but not as sexy as that Power Core... I might as well give up on getting that cardback :/ FOREIGN PROBLEMS
Probably going to be my new deafault
OGRE NO STUPID!
Pumpkins or spooky scary skeletons for card backs.
meh...
Oh C'mon I wanted Halloween! I don't like this one,the color is terrible....
We already got a hallow's end card back last october
But not everybody already played Hearthstone a year ago. :/
To be honest, there are A LOT OF new hearthstone players since then. (including me me, started end of nov 2014)
I hope that someday there will be a way to get all the ranked cardbacks that you missed...
The old ones are looking way better than the last 10-11 ones.
If they give out the old card backs, old players will be upset. It's never going to happen. It's not fair to give exclusive items away again just because you didn't play a year ago. Having said that, you can enjoy looking at my Hallow's End card back this month.
The completionist in me wants all the card backs. But I will never get them sadly... Oh well all you need is the classic card back anyways :D
I am 100% sure that old monthly card backs are going to be obtained, probably for real money and/or gold purchases. who should be upset about this? It is not like you earned it the hard way, you just been there. Its more annoying for people who started later to not be able to obtain a specific card back which they really like.
That said, I do not expect any other card back to be obtainable this way. The pre-sale card backs and so on going to remain unique.
I regret to inform you that you're 100% wrong. Monthly card backs are a way to showcase how long you've been playing the game. The only way this would happen is if they made cosmetic differences to the re-released card backs that make it clear that they aren't the original.
I am not wrong. Brode wrote himself o Twitter few times, that they are working on giving people a way so that way can get older card backs.
