The first reveals for 22.4 are live! Here are some things you might like to know about these cards. Spawn of Deathwing: This is the first card of a 4 card cycle! You'll see the other 3 later, but maybe you can guess the theme... https://t.co/a9jTILQ2NU

Deep Breath: One of Onyxia's iconic abilities during the raid. I wanted it to reflect the ability by doing something cool to minions in center of the board a la Enter the Coliseum, but it was a bit too niche of a design.

Lightmaw Netherdrake: So this is a Holy and Shadow split dragon because it was originally the design that ended up on Spirit Guide! We liked it so much that we pulled it up to main set, and Final Design made this new card.

Onyxian Drake: Control Dragon Warrior rules!!!! Onyxian Warder: I had to bring back the typical Dragon condition, and I really wanted to bring back Onyxia's Whelps. Giving them Rush will hopefully mean they're playable in 2022 land. You'll be seeing more of them. :)

Whelp Bonker: In the final mini set of the year, we like to use keywords and mechanics from previous sets. Frenzy and Honorable Kill made sense together, and Neutral card draw is a good option. He was also supposed to be called Whelp Smasher. Idk who changed the name. Wasn't me.

Don't Stand in the Fire!: This was called "The Floor is Lava" for months and months, but there's already a Duels treasure with that name so we had to change it. Boo.

Also, this is only 7 of 35 cards in the set. We're not going to show off all of the best cards first ;)

@Songbird_HS Hellooo! One question: when you cast Rune of the Archmage and Deep Breath is randomly casted, does it deal just one damage to each minion? Or does it scale with the spells in hand?

Cora

@Rami94HS Good question. I'll fire up a build and play Rune until I find out, unless @GallonHS knows the answer already.

@Songbird_HS @Rami94HS Scales with spells in hand, even when randomly cast!

@GallonHS @Rami94HS Sweet. My servers were taking forever.

@Songbird_HS Were you in charge of the mini-set? Or were these just some of your handy work?

@Busy_Peon I broke off from the team for 2 weeks to do the first designs for the mini set. A lot changed since then, but some of my stuff stuck!

@Songbird_HS Hey Cora! For the Spawn of Deathwing cycle, are the other 3 Tooth of Nefarian, Scale of Onyxia, and Horn of Wrathion?

@aelios817 Yep! It's a cycle that calls back to the designs of the black dragons that have appeared in Hearthstone in the past. :)
