Every so often, Blizzard Entertainment makes some special in-game rewards that are intended to entice players to try more than one Blizzard game. Such is the case for the Cardback Mount in Heroes of the Storm.
The only way to earn this special mount is to play Hearthstone. The mount looks like a card back from the Hearthstone game. If you already play Hearthstone, and have been playing it for a while, there is a good chance that you have already done what you need to earn the Cardback Mount.

To my surprise, I have gotten into the Heroes of the Storm Technical Alpha. I’ve heard great things about the game, but have never played it before. (I was at Blizzcon 2013, but was all caught up in everything Diablo III while I was there).
I knew that Heroes of the Storm (HOTS) was a battleground type game that included playable characters from all of Blizzard Entertainment’s games (World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo III) but, that’s pretty much all I knew. This blog is my attempt to share my first impressions of the game.
