Today is the second of three streams this week that will detail the card back design process featuring the September 2020 card back.
We'll be seeing the Progress stage today which is fleshing out the design from the initial concept we saw on Monday.
Here's where we were at on Monday.
Here is a revised start that was from off-stream.
The stream is headed by Luke Mancini who will be doing all the design for the card back and Hadidjah Chamberlain, Hearthstone's Lead FX Artist, will be present to help answer community questions.
Progress Seen Today
Sorry, no recap on what was being talked about this time. There was a lot of repetition from yesterday and things such as "what is your favourite card from x". Here is what the card back looked like throughout today's 2-hour session. It is looking great!

This stream was a good idea. As a designer (from a very different field) I enjoy watching how others designers in their creative process and their production phase.
By the way, it was nice to see you Fluxlashor sharing the stream and chatting with the rest of us like a fellow hearthstoner!
Nothing puts me above everyone else! I love how the chat is slow enough you can actually converse with people. Never the case when Esports are going on or huge reveal days.
The dog barking got a great chat reaction though!
Well, you are not the average player. Just having this site and working close to the HS team get's you some renown.
Felt the same about seeing Celestalon and other team members active in the chat, it's just cool to interact in this things!
Very cool card back, interested to see the 3D modeling/rendering in the last vid. I predict there will be some sparkles or shimmer to the crescent moons and maybe some slight movement to the center feathers :D
I love the Faerie Dragon color and aesthetic, so this is shaping up to be one of my favorite card backs from the progress we've seen.
It will also be nice to have another dragon-oriented card back.
