Diamond cards are extremely special and rare versions of cards that can be only found on very few cards, all of which are legendaries as of patch 31.2.0.213490.

Like golden cards, diamond cards are purely aesthetic, and there is no difference in gameplay or behaviour on the battlefield, and diamond cards do not allow you to circumvent the 2-per-deck (1-per-deck for legendaries) card restriction.

Unlike golden cards, diamond cards feature completely new 3D animations, more real estate for card art, and a diamond border.

Notes

• Diamond cards are uncraftable: They cannot be crafted but most can be disenchanted for the same arcane dust amounts as golden cards after patch 29.6.
  • However, diamond cards that are granted through special sources, such as the Rewards Track or mini-set bundles cannot be disenchanted.
• Because diamond cards do not display the usual class colors, diamond cards feature additional ribbons at the top and/or bottom bearing the colour of the card's class.
• Diamond cards that generate cards can only generate diamond cards if they have it, otherwise they only generate golden or signature versions of them.
  • For example, Mind Spike does not have a diamond version, which makes Darkbishop Benedictus generate golden Mind Spike.

How to get

Since all diamond cards are uncraftable, they can only be obtained through specific promotions, from Rewards Tracks (often paid track) or by completing certain achievements. For example, to obtain Diamond Bru'kan, the player must complete the Forged in the Barrens Legendary Collector achievement, which requires them to obtain all legendaries of Forged in the Barrens card set.

List of cards with diamond versions

As of 31.2.0.213490, there are a total of 71 cards that have obtainable diamond versions.
