They say the rain on the pane falls mainly down the drain. Harth must have planned ahead!
Hey, at least it rhymes. Somewhat. In case this month's card back description has anyone scratching their head: Harth (Stonebrew) is our friendly dwarven innkeeper, known for being excitable and shouting very loudly at times. For example during the pack openings; you just can't miss that rumbling voice. And rain.... or water, who knows whatever kind of connection to what's coming we could even find here.
There is something simple yet elegant about April's card back for this year. The same could be said for its special effects (viewable in-game through the collection panel). Anyone can acquire it just by winning 5 ranked constructed games over the next 30 days.
As always, if you want to look at Hearthstone card backs, we've got an entire gallery dedicated to just that!
What Happened Last Month in Hearthstone?
Uff, it was a very busy one. Even if we were to skip all the card reveals and new expansion hype. If you'd like to refresh your memory with a dedicated recap for March 2022 before heading forward, we've got just the one here!
Notable Hearthstone Events for April 2022
We have a pretty good idea of what to expect for at least the first half of April. Core Set news at long last, new zodiac year for Hearthstone, and 135 cards from the newest Voyage to the Sunken City set. Let's take a closer look!
- April 2-3 - Battlegrounds Lobby Legends: Raid Leaders
- Aprill 4 - Special Leeroy Jenkins Event for Hearthstone Mercenaries Ends

- April 21-24 - 3rd Masters Tour of 2022 - Voyage to the Sunken City
- Until April 27 - First Legendary Card Claimable From Prime Gaming
And while we don't know the exact dates here (it might be on April 5 if Hearthstone team has scheduled an in-game patch, or a couple days later), expect Alterac Valley Achievements to have their XP gains disabled, and the clock is also ticking when it comes to completing that Honor questline.

I find this card back a bit... depressing, and not so Hearthstone-y, but ok, i guess it's different and innovative!
Damn freakin'ass achievements!
Nobody let me reach the 7th mi'da 🤦🏼♂️
I really like those time-table posts! Just as an idea: How about a sticky area on the right side of the main (Hearthstone) page with an always updating list of important dates? This way we do not miss free packs anymore :)
I don't care about cardbacks for the most part, but this is my favorite one so far.
A busy month indeed, adding spam attacks to the mission target as well.
But one thing tho, I wouldn't call it a "zodiac" year, since it has nothing to do with real zodiac animal. But who am I to judge.
"Zodiac" is the official term, selected by the developers. I'm sorry they failed to consult you on the decision. Just as various cultures on Earth have their own various Zodiacs, so does Azeroth.
The Chinese and western zodiacs are superficially similar, but are completely distinct things that don't share anything much. So referring to a HS/Warcraft zodiac isn't a problem since there is no singular meaning of the word to begin with.
