    is Baku’s upgraded hero power the same as Justicar’s?

    also, are old cards (unstable evolution is the only one i can think of) gonna get the Echo keyword?

    yes

    It says 50 plus 20 bonus packs.

    Baku the Mooneater - Start of Game - if your deck only has odd-cost cards, upgrade your hero power...

    but HOW Blizzard, HOW does it upgrade it? Is it exactly lie Justicar again, or something different?

    It is exactly like Justicar. So if you are playing Quest Warrior and remove the executes you get tank up starting on turn 1.

    Does echo work with handbuffs?

    no

    /u/mdonais would be better to answer but I'm guessing now. Charged Devilsaur is tied to the battlecry, while Rush applies on Summon, so they're technically different.

    exactly. They are the same in many cases, but a bit different if you are cubing them or something.

    We didn't change it because Echo is just in this one set, but Unstable Evolution is pretty much exactly Echo.

    Will Charged Devilsaur get Rush? Curious cuz this significantly modifies that card.

    No. Charged Devilsaur will keep its card text.

    Does Genn Greymane's cost reduction only apply to basic hero powers or does it persist through hero power changes (DK cards/Justicar)?

    Only your starting hero powers.

  • Mike Donais

    u/mdonais I’d love to hear about how 0-mana cards work with the odd and even abilities :)

    We have decided that 0 is even for Genn and Baku.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    How do quests work with the only even cost dude. Do you get the effect because the quest is guaranteed in your starting hand or is the check proir and you dont get it?

    Quests are odd cost. You need all 30 even cost cards to run a Genn Greymane deck.

    Is the 20 bonus packs a limited time offer, or will it be available up until the release of the expansion like a normal pre-order would be?

    Until the expansion is released.

  • Mike Donais

    Since you're here , any update on dk rexxar? I'm excited about the new expansion but i'm also curious about if the expansion have new beast that might get included in dk rexxar pool. I hope we'll get to try the kobolds beast alongside the new expansion beast when it arrive.

    He will be updated with the expansion release.

  • Josh Durica

    Do cards with echo still echo when recruited from your deck or is it only when played from hand?

    Only when played from hand.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    Sorry dumb question, Will rexxar get the kobalds beast and the witchwood beast at the same time?

    yes

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    So what happens if you recruit a rush minion? When you recruit a devilsaur for instance it just has normal charge and can attack heroes? Presumably this will still only be able to attack minions?

    right

    Flavor question: Why Greymane and Baku? The two seem a bit like the opposites in terms of design. What made you pair the Worgen king with a "made up" lore monster? Is there any neat little lore about Baku that you guys came up with, which is why he seems to be paired with Genn?

    Hagatha, the witch of the Witchwood awakened the trees and beasts of the woods making them stronger and angrier. Baku the Mooneater is the great worm that is basically her General.

    Unrelated to WoW, Baku can also be found in Earth mythology too sometimes called Bakunawa.

  • Mike Donais

    Does Baku only upgrade basic hero powers?

    yes

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    May I ask if he is also going to be updated with the Wild pool when the rotation hits as well? ( In wild, of course. )

    He always worked in wild with the wild pool. (except one beast we left out intentionally)

  • Mike Donais

    What's the interaction between Malchezzar and Baku? E.g. If Mal puts even cost legendaries in my deck, does that stop Baku from going off?

    Just tested this and you can run both and they both trigger even if Malchezzar adds even cost cards to your deck.

    KOSAK WHERE YOU AT!

    It's okay, I'm okay everyone.

    And I'm keeping the hat.

  • Mike Donais

    I think you mean shifting scroll

    Shifting Scroll counts as zero cost which counts as even.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    Are you going to exclude any beasts from Kobalds?

    I don't think so.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    Does this mean dungeon run is going away, or are they going to let you access both?

    You can still play the old adventure mode.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    I wonder if the new Shaman Hero card they teased at the end is exclusive to this mode instead of being Standard playable...

    It is a normal collectible card.

  • Mike Donais

    Plus the describtion implies the possibilty that these heroes will start with stronger decks, so thebalance might be very different as well.

    They have unique hero powers that change their play, as well as a few unique cards/upgrades that match them.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    Is shifting scroll even or odd?

    Shifting Scroll is treated as zero cost and zero cost is treated as even.

  • Mike Donais

    Posted 7 years, 9 months ago (Source)

    Where is Witchwood? It's not a WoW location. Is it just somewhere around Gilneas (based on the theme and worgens)?

    And will there be a new hero for each class?

    1. Before Hagatha the Witch moved in it was called Blackwald and it is the forest outside Gilneas.
    2. Just Shaman. Hagatha is the most impotant character in the set from a story standpoint. She brought The Witchwood to life and made it all dark and spooky. We wanted to signify that by making her a hero card.
