Hearthstone’s got a new card back, and we’re going to infect you with it

Listen up Hearthstone players - it’s time to have talk about disease prevention. I’ve been told that our own resident Hearthstone expert, Ali, has been infected with a new card back that’ll spread to everyone he plays against. I hear that the plague is spreading quickly throughout the Hearthstone player base, leaving everyone affected with that most heinous of horrors: a new card back. The Mark of Hakkar event goes live today, centred on an infectious card back. Anyone who has the card back equipped will spread it to opponents in Arena, Standard, Wild, and private games, as long as those matches are completed. If you get infected, you’ll automatically have the new back equipped to aid you in spreading it to new players. You’ll also get an achievement for your troubles. Blizzard didn’t tell us who all got the card to start this event, but it at least includes a selection of press folks. So while Ali is not the only patient zero who’s been selected here, watch out for him all the same. He might get some time to play before we send him back to the League of Legends patch note mines.
