Hearthside Chat with Dean Ayala: Even & Odd

    Hope you liked Dean's video. I loved the face hunter part too.

    I wanted to set some expectations, there are only a few of these even/odd support cards like the ones shown. There is not one for each class.

    We aimed them at the combinations that we thought were going to see less experimentation/play so that people might try those out. For example even mage is an obvious choice, so we made a card for odd mage to increase its viability a bit.

    As with most build around cards these even odd decks are cool because as new expansions are released people will go back and look at the combinations again and pick some to experiment with.

    My guess is that the community card reveals begin 26Mar2018 so that Blizzard can exclusively reveal what they want for the next week and a bit.

    I think this is kind of neat as I wasn't looking forward to the 2 week gap between expansion reveal and card reveal.

    Right.

    It can't be a coincidence that all of the new cards are beasts. This has got to be a sign for some sort of multi-class beast synergy card. Maybe one for odd, one for even.

    It is entirely a flavor thing. Hagatha the Witch has animated the trees in the forest and turned the beasts into stronger and more dangerous versions of themselves. That is why the Gilneas are calling it The Witchwood.

    Will there be an update for the collection manager to search for "Mana:odd" or Mana:even" ??

    Yes, those both work with the expansion. In addition when you add Baku to your deck it asks if you want to search for odd cost cards, and does it for you.
