Hearthstone - Heroes of Warcraft news » August 2017 Ranked Play Season – Blood Knight Bash!

The August Ranked Play Season is now live—and we’re unveiling a new card back you can add to your collection!

Blood Death Knights manipulate and corrupt life energy in a furious, sanguinary onslaught! Embrace the power of the Lich King and add the Blood Knight card back to your collection by playing Hearthstone during the month of August.

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 Blood Knight card back to your collection by hitting Rank 20 in either Standard or Wild Ranked Play modes. You’ll receive the Blood Knight card back at the end of August’s Ranked Play Season in your Ranked Play reward chest.

You earn Ranked Play reward chests based on your highest earned rank over the course of a Ranked Play season. Reward chests may contain seasonal card backs, Arcane Dust, and golden cards, and can be obtained by playing in either Standard or Wild Ranked Play modes. You’ll be awarded one chest per Ranked Play season based on your highest rank between the two modes.

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.

Go for the throat in August’s Ranked Play Season, Blood Knight Bash!
