There are over a hundred card backs in Hearthstone that are unobtainable as of now. There are no achievements through which you can unlock them, hero portraits will probably never return to the shop and some cards like a golden Sathrovarr or Marin the Fox are uncraftable for years now.
Also putting my face in the thumbnail becomes less cringe now that I have done that a couple times but it is still a bit weird gotta say
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While we were playing this Wild Hearthstone Deck and had a win rate that could have been better, we figured out that Hearthstone Decks in 2020 might be what you expect, broken Decks that can get you to legend easily. Being a Hearthstone Legendary rank makes your best deck even more interesting and fun because after Scholomance Academy a lot of random effects on minions and spells came to the game of Hearthstone
(this nonsense is for SEO btw)

Something I'll never have? A fully optimized Reno deck...
optimization is a construct of your imagination
Got kazakus, just need reno, dk Jaina, and bran. Almost there
@@strandededucation622 20 bucks for the league of explores and you should do it
@@batatac4mil86 f2p so I'm doing everything with a grind. Given up in standard so wild is where my dust goes.
@@strandededucation622 You did the right thing, wild is cheaper in a long time. You will many dust to craft a good deck, but you will have a good deck, forever.
All this stuff and rogue still only has one alternative portrait
pretty much, I guess the level 50 battle pass skin could count towards it but that is still pretty much nothing
@@Solemhs Hey Solem, can you make a video on why blizzard hates the rogue class. I know they don’t hate it hate it but but it Would be interesting to see
Garona Halforcen, Edwin Vancleef, HIS FKIN KID Vanessa Vancleef, MATHIAS SHAW HELL EVEN FKIN FLYNN FAIRWIND could ALL BE ROGUE HERO PICS but noooo LETS MAKE SOMEONE NOBODY FKIN HEARD OF IN WOW LORE.
Made even more frustrating by all the alternative rogues in special game modes that haven't been made available to constructed decks for no particular reason. Where is my Eudora skin?! You already made the assets, just let me pay you for doing zero work so I can have a dumb aesthetic thing I don't need for this game I now hate!
Nah I need a 7th shaman skin.. Shaman and rogue are my most played classes. Stupid decisions.
The client side skin changing actually is a thing, its done with SpecialK, but all ive seen done with that are lewd mods.
I will look it up for research purposes
And here I thought I was the only one who knew about Nudestone
I learnt about it when fullas mad a hulk warrior mod
WAIT WHAT
Jaina: stop using a mod to look at my naked pics you heathens.
Used to have the mindset that I wanted to collect everything. Drove me insane and fomo over things that doesn't matter in the larger scheme of things.
A hero portrait is a jpeg, cardbacks too. Having a cool one is great but chasing after every single one just caused me stress.
Lol. Yep.
Same.
Lost the internet for a few months in 2016, lost some cardbacks. Felt sad at first but then I realized I had been released. Haven't cared a bit since.
I'm convinced the only reason people own Dame Hazelbark is to horrify their opponents.
So they paid to have a psychological advantage over their opponents? P2W game smh
Hello, Dear
no, its for my treants deck^^
"The unobtainable Thing in Hearthstone": Pure, unadulterated fun. It is also like a sponge for my sanity. I know hard drugs which are far less problematic and much more fun.
Less expensive too
Amen. Sometimes I think "Oh I'll have fun playing this deck!", only to realize I don't have many of the cards. So I settle for a worse version and hit casual, thinking I'll have good, casual fun. Then it's Reno Priest/Big Priest/Aggro Druid and I shut the client down
@@TromboneMaster95 casual fun? In casual mode? Nooooooooob
Medivh is still aviable through the WOW the Beginning DVD
When looking at ebay I found people selling codes and that CD for the skin
Solem is the type of guy to win a 500K prize pool tournament just for the Golden Celebrations card back.
I got into the beta literally about a week before it ended. Now I am a proud owner of the Pandaria card back and golden Gelbin Mekkatorque & I use both in every deck I play, just to flex.
same with me, golden gelbin flexin B)
Something I will never have in hearthstone?
Fun
Dust
Wait, I have gold. ....aaand it's gone.
But your still here......lol mk
@@micahturner6239 doesn't mean he plays the game, I barely play the game now because I don't find it that fun anymore and mainly just stick with Yu-Gi-Oh and MTG that I've played for longer and have a lot less random shit going on, but I still enjoy watching hs streamers.
Micah Turner I only watch hearthstone channels for the personalitys. I haven’t played Hearthstone in years and I’d prefer if they played a different game but it’s not like I’m going to stop watching just because I stopped playing.
Legends of Runeterra is a better game by miles
Forgot to mention the Overwatch card back.
Seams to have been removed last year
I got about 10k in achievement points. It would be nice to have some cosmetic unlocks Or literally anything to use them on
I personally love that you threw in an ash blossom feet meme into the video lmao
A card back was added to Khadgar's hero skin years later in order for blizzard to justify increasing the price from a $5 donation to a $10 payment. If I remember right, the dalaran flame cardback was also available for a short time to people to bought tickets to certain collegiate events.
This reminded me of some content you could create and I think it's the kind of thing you would do.
I was using the The Thunder King Shaman Hero and realized I didn't have any "nice" emotes. They were all kind of BM. That got me thinking, which emotes were the more BM? If anyone would do this list, surely it would be you. ;)
I like this idea, even more now with so many new Hero skins coming out. for instance, the new Illidan is supremely BM, his Thanks emote is basically 'yeah, no, I don't want to thank you'.
Btw. The card backs in HS are only half shown when they are standing on a table. In LoR they are at list laying on a table so you can see the full art and in MTGA you can actually scroll card backs closer and most of them have some effect when you are hovering over them with a mouse. So - yeah :)
I've used the Pandaria card back ever since I started playing Hearthstone. It's just so clean and the colours are nice, and as an added bonus it's quite rare
7:49 allow me to correct you, this card back, which is called the dalaran flame I believe, could be obtained in Europe by rather complicated means, if I remember correctly, as you said, it comes down to connecting it to a University Account. Former German Hearthstone Streamer and high Legend Player Hell was famously rocking this bad boy.
Thanks for the video.
I'm not into the cardback and hero portrait game so I'm happy that only those are the unobtainable stuff.
Achievement related cardbacks sounds cool
I have Lunara, Maiev, and I kinda got the secret room card back because I just randomly stumbled upon it after being bored and messing with the tavern brawl for an afternoon.
You can still purchase the Medivh hero skin off of other players on the internet, ironically I purchased my medivh skin yesterday, just as this video released. There's still codes floating around from the Warcraft movie expansion for the skin, where together with the movie you would get a reedemable code that would grant you the skin + cardback.
I am in a weird situation where I clicked on the video because in the preview slide show, I saw "League of Legends" and thought you were running an ad for Legends of Runeterra in your HS video
And here we are two years later where everything that was once exclusive is now purchasable in the store.
Don't forget the Hero Stories from Scholomance Academy dont actually offer skins for the corresponding heroes, you had to purchase the heroes from the shop for 20 dollars
And they don't even have new emotes no less. I'm still bitter about buying the Jaina skin, I don't even like the art but I liked her unique taunt when I went to go test drive the skin in the adventure. Turns out that emote was only for the antonidas encounter and not actually part of the product I purchased, which feels very much like false advertising. Expect my $20 court case to topple the bajillion dollar supercompany any day now.
This video was really eye opening for me, not because there's a lot that I'm missing, but rather because.. I actually have literally all of it (minus Golden Celebration)? I can even tell you that the Power Core and Thrill of Victory card backs weren't just for participating in esports events like HCT (like the one in the Bahamas you mentioned), but were also distributed to spectators who attended in-person (that's how I got them).
It's pretty easy to forget just how many promotions Hearthstone has had over the years when you've participated in all of the as they arrive. Sometimes you start to take all of this stuff for granted.
Medivh was also available as a code when buying the WoW movie!
I think you can still obtain Medivh if you're lucky enough to find a copy of the Warcraft DVD with the unused code inside.
I found N’Zoth deserves real praise. He has several custom voicelines and even more than one when using your hero power.
Interesting you talk about clientside skins since they were actually a thing up till uldum or so and got silently patched (only worked in an older directx version that they stopped supporting). There was a way to run a software that swapped any texture for another one of the same size when your gpu rendered the image (no game modifications --> not detectable). I used it back when exodia mage was still playable to give antonidas some pixel sunglasses and make sorc very deepfried but it was mostly used in a mod called nudestone (you can probably guess what that did). Manually editing the pictures and finding what assets to replace was a giant pain in the ass though.
Moo. That’s right. You heard me.
I have that card back, I really like it and I feel special knowing I’m one of the last people who play this game with that card back.
That's sad
@@batatac4mil86 moo
I still use the rastakan infection card back BC f*ck blizzard everyone gets that exclusive now
Something that was overlooked is special packs, which is understandable since that's not a normal thing people collect in this game (opting instead to open them to collect the things inside, because duh). I started collecting them back when wild rotation was removing pack types from the store "forever" and for several years every wild set had unobtainable packs, now those are obviously back but there are still special pack variants that are only obtainable through certain events and promotions that will probably eventually stop being released. Year of the Dragon packs for example will probably never show up again once the year of the dragon goes away, as are things like the set-exclusive golden packs you get with the preorders now. They'll probably keep doing class-exclusive packs in the future but at the moment those are obviously extremely rare and non-renewable as well.
I got the Thrill of Victory card back 7:41 when I went to the World Championships in Amsterdam 2018 a spectator, all you had to do was participate one of the many fireside tournaments they ran at the event. It's pretty cool to have I must say.
We could spend the new achievement points on crafting card backs! Maybe not all of them are craftable, but if all the monthly ones were craftable I’d be pretty happy
back when i started HS there are some hidden quests like: own every classic Murloc to get old murc eye ... does those hidden quests still exist? its the same for golden murc eye and i dont know if this is possible anymore
i started with the release.. and its hard to keep track about something that is well... hidden.... and at this point ..mostly done already for me
The great thing about the golden celebration cardback is that when you see it, you know you're playing a pro player. I've seen it once in my years playing the game in an RNG heavy tavern brawl.
Then you know to immediately concede
@@ajkcool You don't concede! I once played thijs(the annoying blonde one), in arena 11-2run! Ok I lost, but it was extremely close!
You mised my favourite card back, the galaxy s8 promotion card back wich for some reason this new horrible bad expansion made disapear from my collection.
Yeah, just noticed that my Galaxy S8 promotion card back had disappeared as well. Bug?
I used to try my best to keep up. From the beta through them adding hero skins, I was super on top of collecting card backs and exclusive cards.
Hero skins getting added at first was really cool, but soon after I realized I didn't want to keep up with all the purchases you have to make to get all skins, and have kinda given up.
Then I took a few year break, came back, and seeing the years of things I've missed has broken any dreams of keeping up. I at least still got my beta rewards to flex in wild :')
I have to admit that the golden ETC looks fantasitc
I got both Thrill of Victory and Electric Core cardback after visiting the HS finals in Amsterdam
Technically copies of the Live Action Warcraft Movie come with codes for Medivh, weather or not they still work is up in the air, but he might still be obtainable that way.
I'm able to buy Sylvanas Windrunner and some few others like Dame Hazelbark, I wonder if that's new? They cost 1800 gold each
You can buy medivh from the net right?
That last card back looks so beautiful tho.
You know what else that was unobtainable for the past week? Solem's live streams. FeelsBadMan
I actually have TeSPA card back as well as an European. I remember barely that there was some kind of a loophole on TeSPA's website which allowed you to make an account and register yourself in any random university (had to be a real one) and you could claim the card back that way.
This has to be the first and last time I've seen the black temple (may 2014/ ranked season 2?) cardback being clicked on in a video. I've used the cardback since getting it and love the exclusivity of the older ranked cardback.
Is the battle pass better for free to play now ?
I dont see any skin offers in shop (only limited tavern pass that has mage and shaman skins) but if seems i managed to snag tyrande when she was free there ^^
I got the blue e-sports cardback after going to a IRL hearthstone competetion back in 2017. I think it was officially called a fireside, but I still rock that card back ever since doing that. Hope it helps :D
I play a lot of elemental shaman and I really want both the Ungoro card backs. Especially the tar with the fossil in the middle.
I hope that it comes back some day.
I have all the card backs I want (96), including all of the Heroic ones, Rumble Runner, Candle King, Monster Hunter, Legend, etc...
But what I would like is for the random card back option to let me choose which card backs I want to be in the “random card back pool”.
I like the random card back option, but I mostly get card backs I don’t like when playing.
However, it is fun to open packs with random on for all.
It is trivial, I know, but I really would like that possibility.
Im confused, cant you buy all the cardbacks now!
Hi Solem! Let me clarify something. The Tespa card back was given to all Tespa Plus members who attend university. You DO NOT have to have a Tespa chapter at your college/university. Just make sure you are a valid student and that's it. However, this has since been unavailable since MyTespa has shut down ("temporary") due to some privacy regulations in California. They were going to rework the website to fix these issues (but never did). Now even more, unfortunately, Tespa as a brand/company is being shut down (primarily because of Activision I think [PURE SPECULATION]). Collegiate leagues will still be a thing for Blizzard/Activision games but no longer will have Tespa along with their chapters. Basically effectively hindering a lot of esports clubs and programs in many colleges.
Quite new to this channel. I love your critisism and ideas!
Idea: Every 1k gives you a ‘card back wildcardback’ where you get to choose one. all the descriptions go to ‘originally available’. some remain exclusive like the esports ones probably but I would FINALLY be able to earn the ones I don’t have but played during
You could also get Thrill of Victory from the World Championship of 2018 in Amsterdam. So I guess you could get those by going to the World Championships
The conditions to unlock the esports card backs keep changing, right now I think Power Core is unlocked with a top 8 (?) in a Masters Tour Qualifier and Thrill of Victory is unlocked by competing in a Masters Tour.
Golden Celebration is much rarer, requiring a top 8 finish in a Masters Tour.
at least that's how I remember unlocking all of them :)
I think you can still get the maiev and lunara if you logged in once they relased I think the quest should be there although it also can be removed becaouse of new quest thing
I’ll take you up on that offer on “things” you forgot.
Wow wod, bfa w3, ow, and sc2 collectors edition card backs. You did acknowledge the Samsung card but there was also the pc login, ios login and the android login card backs as well. It is also worthy to point out that the 2 card backs you get from tavern pass says it will be unavailable next expac. Ie the sideshow and val’kyr card backs. FINALLY the nemsy warlock skin from a irl fireside gathering which was later available for logging in due to covid.
i have black temple card back from second season (2014 may i think).I still use it.
I got the power core card back by holding a playoff tournament back when they let innkeepers run them. (Before masters) All of the players that participated in the fireside event also got it as well. As of now I have no idea how.
I got the code of Medivh with the Warcraft movie. I could only use it until i think 2018 and then...2 years later, i used it and it worked!
Well, golden celebraton card back is for top8 on events, master tours, prelims, last call(top 8 point earners)
Only thing i feel like i missed out on was Sylvannas. Best purchasable skin imo (besides Nzoth)
Not being able to buy legacy stuff or bundles etc with gold is the real travisty herr
One hero I regret not getting was king rastakahn dudes got the best emotes
To get the “Electric esports card back” I just showed up at a random “tavern” event where there was a lot of ppl, I got drunk with my friends and played hearthstone ( league of explorers era: fucking otk druids and Elise decks) and this cardback just appeared in our collections. I think you just need to show up for a random event that’s it
update on the Tespa one they are re branding and I dont know if it will ever be available again
what about the cow king brawl card back??
Great video. Dalaran cardback we hope they dont ban. And also would be nice for them to let us craft golden etc hero. And does anyone remember the time when you could change your cardback during actual game. So while your opponent is roping you can switch all cardbacks for them to see.
Something I'll never have ? Having all Card *GOLDEN*
Some of this exclusive product I think is ok but it really starts feeling like too much (even more that there is no way to trade them)
I am from Germany and I have the tespa card back :P there was an event or something like that, I can’t remember.
It would be good for everyone if some skins from the past come back. I remember the gratification of having the skin cthun again after losing my first account. I would like that everyone who loves skin could do it with money and after a while with game gold.
I played hearthstone alot since beta and have all the early cardbacks and stuff. I don't even play anymore only a bit arena.
my favorite cardback is Dalaran Flame, and it's the most unobtainable one...
I stopped playing. This last update was the final straw for me.
my final straw was demon hunter
@@geld1gelld422 The game peaked at Year of the Mammoth in my opinion and Year of the Dragon was kind of the best year to end things on a high note.
I have Magni, I brought him because I wanted to see if there was any interaction when fighting against Thaurissan, no there's not. Got very disappointed back then... also the best card back to this day is the rainbow one, withe the clouds and all...
The title was so saddening I HAD to watch this anyway
Its a changed a little now :p
@@Solemhs what was the original one?
You can still buy medivh codes on some websites
Maiev, N'Zoth, Kel'Thuzad, Aranna - my favourite skins i probably would never switch for anything
also that league of legends skin thing is removed months ago
Solem, I hope this comment will reach you. So i started playing duels recently, I love combo decks so i picked rogue. In order to have the Hero power "connections", you are required to collect 10 darkmoon faire epic cards. I desenchanted some of my cards to craft epic cards for rogue and mage (the 2 classes i use most), so therefore i crafted 2 of each, and to my surprise the game doesnt count 2 identical epic cards as 2 cards, but as 1, the same happens if you craft an epic card, and then uncraft it, it removes it from the counter. There is a flaw in the text because it says "Collect darkmoon faire epic cards (10)", it doesnt say "collect 10 unique epic cards or own 10 epic cards". It just f'ed up my game rn because i dont have any dust left and im stuck with some cards that i wont use just to gain more wins in duels.
Something I'll never get is a rank higher than 5k in Battlegrounds and fun in Duels.
I've been playing for about 2 years and I want Maiev and MechaJaraxxus so bad. Would gladly pay for them; they are much cooler than any of the other purchasable heroes IMO. Would like to get Rastakhan too.
6:54 what the hell 😂
8:12
Solem : „Devs please no ban“
Devs: „ YES YES YES ,YEEEEEEES “
JK Good content and as you said at last take care you too :).
Boy, I NEED that Molten Core card back...
I got it for running a playoff tournament in 2015. Hands down the best one
I recently posted this on Reddit:
I recently started playing the game again and i was sad to see that i can't get Kel Thuzad so i figured unlimited skins would be good for this game.
Another game i play, Smite, also had limmited time skins but now swapped over to the unlimited model.
This would mean that you can purchase the skin after the limited time period but you have to pay the full price of everything else you had to buy to get it. So this for example would make the pre-order portaits available to new players but at the same price of the pre-order bundle, without the packs ofcoarse.
Anyone that would want to spend a lot of money on a skin they like would have the option to do so while still giving poeple that were here when the skin released a huge bonus while blizz makes more money so everyone wins. I would probably get the KT skin like that if it was an option.
I'm literally missing only one thing. In the entire game.
The Golden Celebration card back.
I think one day I'll just get in and grind my way to a good enough standing on the tournament scene to get it.
And yeah I've spent way way too much on this game.
I got everything because of my completionist mindset but I don't mind if my stuff isn't exclusive. They made old card backs and heroes available again. Sure, go right ahead. I don't care about "exclusive". I just like to know I can choose whatever I want.
And currently that is running a Meme deck warrior in Wild that runs both versions of ETC and it's glorious.
I missed the Fairie Dragon cardback and I'm sad...
One day, we'll have a male rogue hero portrait.
Never stop dreaming
The point about cardback is the people that will see them the most is my opponent.
well the oldest Card Back I own is the Black Temple one but am not even playing this game anymore xD
Solem, quick question: what's your MBTI type?
I got all but one monthly card back. And... it doesn't bother me.
Looked through the whole collection and found 4, maybe 6 cardbacks that I would actually use.
(that's why there's absolutely zero rewards for ranked season for me in lor)
Tbh they could make the achievement points (yellow ones) used as currency for card backs. Maybe 2000-3000 points for a cardback. I'm pretty sure this is not gonna happen, they will stick to 500 gold just to screw people more.
i can exclusively scare opponents with hazelbark
There is mod that allows you to have all golden cards and all cardbacks and all portraits on client side.
Back when I played (which was from grand tournament up to around witchwood off and on) I only ever used 3-4 card backs in that entire time. Maybe that's just me but on a side note I have no idea why you're not allowed to set a card back for individual decks you make. That never made sense to me
What do you mean you can't? I've put a different cardback for every deck I play.
I absolutely hate and will never get over the fact that Aranna was made available in a bundle for like a month instead of...oh, I don't know, being the reward for completing the adventure that was her entire backstory? Like...what?
