It’s Lunar New Year in the Tavern come February 2! Celebrate with a holiday Tavern Brawl, a Legendary Quest chain, new thematic cosmetics, and more!
Remember to Claim Your Free Dancing Lion Card Back
First things first, if you haven’t already claimed your Dancing Lion Card Back, now is the time! Celebrate the Lunar New Year with this festive new card back—may it bring you lucky draws in the new year!
The Dancing Lion Card Back was designed by a player named Xi Luo, the winner of a Hearthstone Card Back Design Competition for our fans in China. “Hearthstone is my favorite mobile game,” said Xi Luo, “I decided to draw the dancing lion because I wanted to create something nice that I thought would appeal to the Chinese community. I spent so much time working on the design and called my wife in several times each day to help me decide which directions were best! I was very excited when I heard I won the competition! This has special meaning to me. It’s a dream come true to design something that gets added to a Blizzard game, and I’m very glad to see players looking forward to getting this card back. A huge thanks to the people who supported me!”
Get the Dancing Lion Card Back for free before it leaves the shop on February 8!
Lunar Blessings Tavern Brawl Returns
On February 2, the Lunar Blessing Tavern Brawl is back! In this special seasonal Tavern Brawl, you start by choosing a class and getting a random deck. Then you choose a Blessing from an animal in the zodiac to power up your match!
Complete a Legendary Quest Chain
From February 2 to February 16, embark on a Legendary Quest Chain in three parts, which will award a total of 1 Forged in the Barrens Pack, 1 United in Stormwind Pack, 3 Fractured in Alterac Valley Packs, and 1 Golden Fractured in Alterac Valley Pack!
More Festive Skins in the Shop
This year we have more festive Lunar New Year cosmetics than ever before! Pick from three different ranked hero skin bundles, a bundle of new Battlegrounds hero skins, a new Battlegrounds Bartender, and the returning fan-favorite, Diao Chan Valeera (now upgraded with a new Card Back and more voicelines)! All these are in the Shop now, so get them before they’re gone!
Be sure to give your opponents a festive greeting with Lunar New Year emotes! The Lunar New Year event ends on February 16.
Geez. What a joke. I had a feeling there’s something going on with this free gift cardback.
Because no matter how many times you tried to use it, it will always revert back to Classic Hearthstone cardback.
Well done Blizzard. I have had enough with the long mile of bugs this time. Fix your sh*ts.
And I haven’t even mention the appreciation you gave with Hearthstone Lunar Sales, because there’s NONE. *SMH*
