Hearthstone's March of the Lich King which brought the Death Knight class to the game also did us a solid and brought back some of World of Warcraft's Trading Card Game art to Hearthstone. When Hearthstone first came out, the vast majority of art in the game came from the TCG, but as time went on, Hearthstone gained its own identity and received brand new art for most of its cards, rarely bringing back the classic pieces.
Blizzard has decided to bring back some original card art though this time around, and some of it will be recolored to fit the rune themes on Death Knights according to Celestalon.
Quote From Celestalon Yep! There are several TCG art pieces in the expansion. In a couple cases, we tweaked them to fit gameplay (like Obliterate here getting a red color adjustment to fit as a blood-runed physical ability).
The Old Becomes New Again
