With Demon Hunter's Hero Power costing 1 mana and the class being very effective, is it possible for a class to have a 2+ mana Hero Power and be viable?

Submitted 4 years, 4 months ago by

I've been working on a project for a few months now and I'm a little stuck on creating a Death Knight class. I want it's Hero Power to be seldomly used, powerful, but at the same time not game breaking or too uninteractive.

I've made another class that utilizes a fluid Hero Power so I would like to avoid another passive Hero Power.

So what I'm asking is if it's even possible? Resurrection effects keep coming to mind but depending on existing neutral cards it could be heavily favored toward a DK that capitalizes on rez effects. I haven't played WoW in a hot minute so I've also kind of forgotten what DK's are supposed to be all about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A 3 mana Hero Power is definitely something you're happy to try, although it will be difficult to make because unlike 1 mana Hero Powers, we have nothing to compare them to for balancing. The purpose of Hero Powers are also something that you can easily fit into a turn, and a Hero Power being 3 does limit this more than the standard 2-Cost ones.

    I'll give a 3 mana HP a shot, I may have to play with it a little to see what feels best.
