hsbg.cards — a community-built Hearthstone Battlegrounds card reference.
HS BG Cards (BG Card Database) is a fan-built reference for Hearthstone Battlegrounds, run by a software developer from Ukraine who plays the mode. The goal is a fast, ad-free, link-friendly database that always reflects the current patch — useful for theorycrafting, sharing cards in chats and streams, and keeping track of what changes between updates.
Card data, text, and renders are extracted directly from the locally-installed Hearthstone game client using an open-source extractor. Nothing is scraped from Blizzard's servers, and the website does not call Blizzard services at runtime — pool status is cross-checked against Blizzard's public API at import time. This approach is consistent with Blizzard's end-user license and fan-content policies, which permit non-commercial, community-driven projects that reference game data.
The site updates every patch — typically within 24–48 hours of a Battlegrounds release. Card text and metadata are presented exactly as the game client serves them; see the Privacy Policy → How Card Descriptions Are Generated for the templated-text disclosure covering meta tags and similar derived prose.
The card database is available in 13 languages: English, Deutsch, Español (EU), Español (AL), Français, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Polski, Português, ไทย, 简体中文 and 繁體中文. In each of them, card names, card text and the card renders come from the game client in that language, and the interface, every card page, the legacy cards, the patch notes and these information pages are translated too.
Each language has its own address, such as /zh-cn or /de, and the language menu switches between them. Patch notes are also available in Ukrainian.

The site is free and ad-free, and hosting is paid for out of pocket. If you would like to help cover it, donations are welcome. Nothing here is gated behind them — it is entirely optional.
