Signature cards in Hearthstone will be seeing massive changes as part of the game's next expansion. These cards--which were added in the latest Hearthstone expansion, March of the Lich King--have been a hot topic in Hearthstone community since their introduction.

In a post on the Blizzard forums, later shared on Twitter by Hearthstone features lead Chadd Nervig, a Blizzard representative outlined the complaints and subsequent changes that are coming to signature cards.

Blizzard is fixing this by working on a design which will not interfere with the art. The card frame will also be thinned out to make more room for the art and to prevent confusion concerning whether the frame has any gameplay impact.

Any player who fits one or both of these criteria will receive one free, random legendary card. Continue Reading at GameSpot
