Signature 
Void Virtuoso, featuring unique art.
Void Virtuoso, featuring unique art.Signature is a special quality of cards, rarer than golden cards but more common than diamond cards. Signature cards can be of any rarity, and card sets starting with March of the Lich King usually feature multiple signature cards.
Like diamond and golden cards, signature cards are purely aesthetic, and there is no difference in gameplay or behaviour on the battlefield, and signature cards do not allow you to circumvent the 2-per-deck (1-per-deck for legendaries) card restriction.
Signature cards feature different artwork compared to their regular versions along with unique color hues or art themes. There are also 3 unique borders: one for March of the Lich King, one for all signature cards released during the Year of the Wolf, and one for all signature cards released from the Year of the Pegasus onwards. Signature cards are also animated like golden cards, with the exception of the signature cards from March of the Lich King.
Notes[edit | edit source]
The card text for signature cards from Festival of Legends can be toggled on or off
- Signature cards are uncraftable: They cannot be crafted but most can be disenchanted for the same arcane dust amounts as golden cards.[1][2]
- Signature cards that are granted through special sources, such as the Rewards Track, Achievement rewards, or mini-set bundles cannot be disenchanted.
- Because signature cards do not display their usual class colors, they feature an additional ribbon at the bottom bearing the color of the card's class.
- Signature cards do not feature the expansion watermark.
- Signature cards that generate cards can only generate signature cards if they have it, otherwise they only generate golden versions of them.
- In card packs, signature cards only replace regular common cards, which means they do not take the place of a potential golden card. This also effectively increases the rate of legendary cards in card packs compared to before their addition.[3]
- For signature cards released from Festival of Legends onwards:
- A signature card's rarity is displayed as a gem on the top of the card.
- The appearance of card text for signature cards can be toggled to appear differently. This can be changed in Options menu. Valid options are:
- Never Show Text: Signature cards never show text on the card itself and always as a tooltip.
- Favor Art: Displays art only by default, showing text only when necessary. The text can be toggled on or off where available by clicking on the card image.
- Favor Text (default): Displays text by default, hiding the text only when necessary. The text can be toggled on or off where available by clicking on the card image.
- Always Show Text: Signature cards always show text on the card itself.
- Note, the functionality to adjust the text display is not available for the signature cards released in March of the Lich King.
How to get[edit | edit source]
All signature cards are uncraftable, but have a variety of ways to earn them:[4]
- Signature legendary cards can be opened in the card packs of their expansions, Standard or Wild packs depending on the format of the card, as well as class packs for Standard cards[5] at the same rate as golden legendaries (see Card pack statistics). A small amount of signature legendary cards are specifically excluded from being openable in packs; Those cards can instead only be purchased in the Shop.
- Event Tracks, Rewards Tracks, achievements, and Shop bundles may contain signature cards of varying rarities.[6]
- Signature Golden card packs, which were only used for March of the Lich King, could contain signature legendary cards at an increased rate of a 15.1% chance to get a signature legendary card.[7]

Trivia[edit | edit source]
Annoy-o-Tron, and 
N'Zoth's First Mate received their signature artwork in-game in Patch 27.2.0.183876, but weren't used until Patch 28.6.0.193541. Acolyte of Pain also received signature artwork during patch 27.2, but its signature version hasn't been seen in-game yet.- Signature cards from the Whizbang's Workshop expansion are themed as "Dr. Boom-ified" versions of the characters.[8]
