We've finally got the hero power for The Amazing Reno which is being added to the game later this month with the release of the Galakrond's Awakening Adventure.
Say hello to a Passive Hero Power! Thanks to Hearthstone's Liv for providing the sauce.
Reno is essentially Yogg-Saron, slowly pushing out all those random spells!
The Origins of The Amazing Reno's Power
It's such a weird card, how did we end up here? Well, it turns out this is what Magic Trick was for a while!
Quote From Celestalon Fun fact: That's what the Mage spell "Magic Trick" was, for much of Rise of Shadows' development. It was simply "Make a minion disappear. *Poof!*"
We liked the effect and flavor, it was just too similar to Polymorph. So, we put that idea on hold, until we found this design, and loved it. :D
what cost did you try it at? 5-6 seems ok but powerful I guess
Aye, it would likely have been (5), maybe (6). We redesigned it before the point where we really fine-tune balance, so hard to know for sure.

We've got a guide up for the new adventure and will be updating it when we learn new information about it and when new cards get revealed - check it out!

Don't talk down to me like I'm some kid who knows nothing. I know what for instance means - You asked a question, I answered. Simple as that.
99% sure it won't as history teaches us.
Also I wonder what the hero card for druid will be, since we just hot elise(one of the explorers,like reno) and a treant themed cosmetic hero so recent. A dragon maybe? A horde character maybe?(yeah right lmao)
Lol, CaReno-Mage
I laughed.
I hoped to see a good mage card able to carry a t1 deck..... why blizz hates mages
Actually, Mage has tons of really good cards: it's just that since post-patch Uldum it hasn't been its meta.
Just look at one Highlander Mage list: the only big cards that it will lose with the rotation are Zilliax (pretty tragic loss, but we can say the same about every other deck), Luna's Pocket Galaxy (despite not being game-breaking like it was at 5 mana, it's still pretty good) and... I guess nothing else?
Kalecgos, Zephrys the Great, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, Tortollan Pilgrim, Power of Creation, Malygos, Aspect of Magic, Dragoncaster, Conjurer's Calling and such still still be in Standard and will make a really solid Control deck.
except mage can't heal, so its always going to be long shot from being true control.
Agree on this. Mage is in a good spot card-wise, it's just in an unfavourable meta right now.
Of course, this card won't see play in a competitive Mage deck. But still, the point stands.
Hey you just get Shadowform the first turn and hey just an upgraded ping, nice
Hero Power: Cast Myra's Unstable Element and make your deck disappear. *Poof!*
Finally support for king togwaggle mage
Will probably cast Cataclysm the turn you're going to pull it off.
Finally support for mechathun mage
This is my ultimate dream card.
