Ideas on Void Contract rounding?

To my knowledge Void Contract will be the 1st card to be printed in hearthstone with the word "Half" in the text box. Any ideas on whether it will round down or up when halving decks with odd numbers?

What about effects that return the card itself to the hand or deck, rather than a copy? Will it not work like Kingsbane + Doomerang?

Immortal Prelate will not keep enchantments if it's removed from play without triggering its Deathrattle. This is different from how Kingsbane works, and we're updating Kingsbane's card text to reflect that difference.

It will round up. If there is one card left in a deck it will be destroyed.

Off topic, but while you are here, how does Divine Shield work with Immortal Prelate? If I give Prelate Divine Shield and it is popped before it dies, it won't have Divine Shield when I play it later, right?

Also, if Prelate is shuffled into the deck with Baleful Banker or resurrected through Desperate Stand, will it retain enchantments then?

You're correct! If you give Immortal Prelate Divine Shield and it is popped before it dies, it won't have Divine Shield when played later.

Immortal Prelate will only keep enchantments if its Deathrattle fires. Baleful Banker and resurrection effects will not retain enchantments.

If the Divine Shield is broken, Immortal Prelate will not have Divine Shield when you play her again.

However, if she dies via Shadow Word: Pain and keeps the Divine Shield, she will still have it when played again.

Sorry this is so much later, but does that mean if Prelate is killed by a kill effect (Assassinate, Naturalize) while it has divine shield, the shield will be retained when redrawn and played?

Yes!
