New Ranked Season - January 2023 & Card Back
The first day of the new month, a new Season, and a new year! This is the 106th Ranked Season! March of the Lich King and the Death Knight class are basically old hat by now and with the new year we are turning our attention to what's coming, things like the big 25.2 patch that will have mostly Battlegrounds updates (but usually some balance updates too) and the big ticket, the mini set which we might see announced or even introduced before this season is done. For now though, we have a set meta and can really hone in and learn our specific match ups, and climb that ladder!
Rewards
A new month also means we all received our ranked rewards from last month. You can let us know in the comments if there was anything particularly cool you got from the reward boxes or packs!
We'll leave you with the Savory Soup Cardback reward for the January 2023 season. You will need 5 ranked ladder wins in January 2023 to get it. "Savory Soup: You can still enjoy comfort food even if you’re already comfortable."

I hope the balance patch will do something to help control cause facing the same burn and aggro decks over and over is really annoying. Bring back renathal
Renathal makes combo better so control worst
I prefer countering aggro and combo decks than control. What a broing meta it is 40 min games until fatigue against decks that do nothing and just clear and heal, yuck
I hope this soup wasn't cooked by Sinful Sous Chef.
It was by Crooked Cook
Wasn't it Cookie the Cook?
Might be by Nomi, Kitchen Nightmare because the new battle ground board and innkeeper are based on him?
Is it weird that Crooked Cook and Cookie look like they're both cooking the same thing in the same pot? Like Crooked Cook came by and was like "This needs some salt"
