Curse of Hakkar Event – Play the Game and “Infect” Others With a new Card Back!

Curse of Hakkar event has started! If you were infected, simply equip your new Card Back and start playing the game. This way, you will spread it all over the ladder. Here’s a summary of how this event works:

• A small portion of players were infected and received a new card back. If you got it, be sure to equip it. If you weren’t one of them, don’t worry, you should be able to get it soon.
• The more games you play with an equipped card back, the further curse will spread. After a match is complete, your opponent also gets cursed and receives the card back.
• Early concedes or leaves don’t count – you need to play a longer match (similarly to how “Play a Friend” Quest works).
• Even though it might be difficult to get one at the start, the more players get infected, the faster the curse will spread. So be sure to equip yours so others can get it too!
• Card back can also be transferred in friendly matches – so if you have it, but your friend doesn’t, you can play with him so he gets one.

A riotous bunch of gladiators have been living it up with the loa in Gurubashi Arena since Rastakhan’s Rumble began . . . but not everyone is overjoyed with the glory heaped upon the other loa. You see, before the rise of the Zandalari Empire and King Rastakhan, Gurubashi once belonged to a very different kind of loa. A darker loa . . . .

The blood god Hakkar!

Oh yes, Hakkar has dabbled in Rastakhan’s little game—but in his dark heart he dreams of a return to the glory days, when every sacrifice in Gurubashi Arena was made in his honor and he ruled over the Gurubashi Empire with cursed blood and an iron fist! Er, scythey-claw-hand-thing.

But he has a plan, and soon, Hakkar’s name will be on every gladiator’s lips—because his curse has been unleashed on Rastakhan’s Rumble!

A Curse Unleashed

A small number of rumblers have already been marked by Hakkar’s curse. If you should encounter them while playing Hearthstone, the curse will spread to you—in the form of the

Mark of Hakkar card back!

When you play against another player while using the Mark of Hakkar card back, it will spread to them, and so on, and so on—FOREVER!

How fast will Hakkar’s curse spread? How long until EVERY player in the Tavern is afflicted? That is up to you.

See you in the Tavern. Muahahahaha!
