| (1/2) These two cards laid the groundwork for how we would think about buffs in Unholy. Anti-Magic Shell fit well to show that Unholy was meant to go wide, and Dark Transformation reinforced that by being a stronger buff the weaker the target.

| (1/3) One of the things we tried with Corpses was to make each Rune feel like it handled Corpses a little differently, by creating different ways that each spent Corpses.

| Through most of development, this design was on Frost Strike. When we turned the Heart/Frost/Plague Strike trio into a cycle of resource-generating damage spells, we kept the old Frost Strike design around by moving it onto Glacial Advance.

| (1/2) The goal with designing Lord Marrowgar was to be the ultimate Corpse-spender. His design started out as just buffing your other minions.

| (1/3) Up until very late in development, this minion was just a big wall of stats, with just Taunt and Lifesteal, as a simple example of how Blood liked big defensive minions.

| Some details on Souleater's Scythe (SeS):
- Its effect happens after C'Thun the Shattered splits.
- Neither the minions chosen by SeS, nor the Bound Souls, will ever be in your starting hand/mulligan.
- Discovering a minion from Bound Soul removes it from your pool. |

| If a friendly Undead died after your last turn. Ok, so help me out…this means essentially that if you have an Undead die on your opponent’s turn? I’m confused. |

| (1/2) We originally had only this card doing a handbuff in Death Knight, to set the precedent that handbuffing was something Death Knights (especially Blood) could do, since it was a safe way to do buffs without risking Charge damage from the hero power.

| The general idea of this card was in place from day 1, but the exact wording and mechanic details changed countless times. “Repeat 3 times:”, “Do 5 times: “, “, and repeat this.” etc. Little iterations on wording like that make a big difference.

| (1/3) Just like with classes, minion types should have an identity; the sort of things they do, don’t do, etc. And a big part of that is controlling what sort of potential synergies there are for that minion type.

| This effect was one we tried as a common theme for Spellbreakers in Warrior, but it proved to be too niche. Good for a one-off tech card, not so good to build a deck archetype around.

| We were really excited with this set to build some cards that were inspired by some classic Mage cards. Mana Wyrm and Sorcerer’s Apprentice return!

| (1/2) Spellbreakers are super iconic Blood Elven characters, so we knew we wanted them to be our Warriors of the set.

| All of the major Blood Elf factions had a notable leader, except for the Spellbreakers. So we invented a new character for them, Asvedon, with a design inspired by the WoW Warrior ability Spell Reflect.

| (1/2) There wasn’t a Blood Elf faction matching Demon Hunters, or even any Demon Hunters in Silvermoon culture at all at this point, so we had to deviate from canon here.
