thanks man. bit gutted I missed that naxx cardback. 

at least I came back in time to get the cupcake, always have wanted to the cupcake. ha ha. 

you think they'll ever bring back that first ever cardback? I think it was a pandaria one, red and gold. I think if they bring that back, be some annoyed people as it's like the proper OG-status card back. 

 They might but i guess its probably gonna be one of the lasts ones from seasonal cardbacks that they reintroduce. I just miss 3 seasonal cardbacks. Lunaras garden. Kul tiras and pizza one :S imo this is stupid 1 cardback per month or 2. Just reward legend players with extra cardback from the past randomly that they dont have

that would be a good idea. would actually be some kind of proper incentive for reaching legend, too.

so they are re-releasing the older cards now? (I have been away for a while) I just bought this one as it was one I always wish I had gotten. 

have they brought back any others as well, please? 

 Ragnaros and naxxramas were brought back aswell.

At the end of this month we get magic of dalaran cardback which was first introduced in 2017.

2. "I wonder if this guy paid $5 to buy a card with a cupcake". Why would you wonder if someone payed for a sleeve or got it as a gift? The method of acquiring just does strike as bad to you bc you feel that you have moral highground based on how long you played.

This is the one point I have to disagree with.  As a HS player since beta, if I see someone with a card back from say, early 2015, it lets me know that, my opponent has been playing for quite some time.  All-be-it maybe not every day/every month, but they have some experience, and it lets me know to be a little bit more on my toes.  If said card back can be required from just anyone, I feel it I may lose that ever so slight edge.
It's like playing poker in a casino.  If another player is clumsy and fiddling around with their chips and whatnot, you have a good idea that they are probably not that experienced as a player, and lets you know that they may be an easier mark.

Just my opinion, and I don't mean to be controversial, or put your thoughts/points down in anyway.

Best of luck to you in all your future HS matches.  :)

 a lot of people will wear only the basic cardback to throw people off as well, especially during the start of a month. 

I actually bought the cupcake, but I was playing back then, I am more of a casual player though that comes and goes from the game a lot. Thew cupcake was one of my favourites though, so jumped at the chance to have it again. I mean I understand how it must cheapen it for the people who earned it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy at the chance to get some card backs that I had missed during times I was playing other games. 

That's a good point.
Hell, even I've used the basic card back at times, for that exact reason, just to maybe throw my opponent off.  What ever edge ya can get, ya know.
I'm glad for you that you got your favorite card back, that you unfortunately missed at the time.
:)

not sure if it's my favourite, but I'm definitely happy to have it. ha ha. there are so many though, not even sure what my favourite one is.

As an early HS player and someone that has lots n lots of card backs, I'm a fan of releasing older card backs, since it serves to make other players happy, puts cosmetics on the spotlight for a just investment, and deflates the ego of entitled old players.

I respect your opinion, and hope you understand that I don't have my opinion as an "I'm better than you" type attitude.  I just know that there are A LOT of things I missed in many games due to either not completing the requirements, or I started playing the game to late to receive said 'achievement/reward'.  I look at this as my fault, and in no way expected to get said 'achievement/reward' in the future.  That time came and past without me.  I just feel the same way about card backs.....

However, if it does make the majority of the player base happy, then I'm fine with that, since I do enjoy the game, and would like it to have as many players as possible to enjoy the game with me.  While I know this post may seem like a contradiction to its self, I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey/get at.

Best of luck to you in all your future HS matches.  :)

I doubt they'd re-release pre-order exclusive card backs since people paid for them (with the bundle)

 They can re-release them, actually. Just have to attach an actual price to it (and can't be brought with gold).

In fact, I am sure they will do that at some point. Same with any prerelease bundle avatars.

If they do, I am cool with it. All I care about is if I have it. For example, I am not concerned with Madam Lazul or The Thunder King becoming more accessible to other players.

daaamn a card back from back in the days when the game was good. amazing.

it's also funny to watch these blizzard white knights defending 3 dollars/euros for a virtual card back micro transaction.

this is a slap in the face to people who buy this now, not to ppl like me who got it in 2015.

I have 2 Of these shirts.  Bought one from the gear store, then when it started to "ware out", bought a second one, because the gear on the Blizzard store doesn't stay for very long.
I know this is off topic, but I bought a "Naxxramas" HS shirt.  When I went to the release party/event for DIII, and all the Blizzard DIII employees where there to sign autographs and such, multiple Blizzard peoples ask me "Where did you get that shirt"?  I told them I got it from the Blizz store, and they didn't even know it was available.  Upon hearing this, I went to buy a second one, and they were no longer offered.  That's when I learned that the product in the store rotates out quite often, since the Naxx shirt was no longer available.  And I don't think the HS Naxx adventure was even out for a year at that time.
Once again, I must state my VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION here. As a HS player since closed beta (Nov. 2013, only I got the invite in Sept, 2013. That taught me to check my email more often :P ), and someone that has 130+ card backs, I'm not a fan of releasing older card backs, since the people who get the card back now, really didn't fulfill the requirements, whatever they were, to get it in the first place.

JMO, please don't throw hate, I've gotten enough to realize my thinking is in the minority, and I understand.

I disagree with your opinion but I like your story so upvoted.

I appreciate your comment and opinion, and thank you for the up-vote.

I'll sell mine for 400g
