Hearthstone - Heroes of Warcraft news » Hearthstone December 2016 Ranked Play Season – Paid in Jade

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

The Jade Lotus are pleased that you are showing interest in becoming a denizen of the shadows. The pursuit of the jade’s power is all-encompassing; your dedication should be rewarded. Take this token of thanks for your efforts in December – the Jade Lotus card back!

These card backs replace the art decoration on the reverse side of your cards and are a great way to show off your Hearthstone affiliation to the Jade Lotus. Add this badge of honor to your collection by hitting Rank 20 in either Standard or Wild Ranked Play modes. You’ll receive the Jade Lotus card back at the end of December’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.

With your skill and dedication to the Jade Lotus, you will be a force to be reckoned with on the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan!
