Below you will find a compiled list of card clarifications for Goblins vs Gnomes! I'll be updating this post with more clarifications as they come out.

Bane of Doom

[NEW] Can Bane of Doom summon Mal'Ganis? If not, has the demons it can summon changed at all in GvG?
Bane of Doom has not changed with GVG. (Zeriyah)
Bane of Doom cannot summon Mal'ganis. It will still summon the same Demons as in Classic. (Zeriyah)
Not currently. We've heard a lot of feedback so far on this, though. (Zeriyah)

Bolvar Fordragon

Increases in attack will display in your hand. (Ben Brode)

Your opponent will have no indication of you having Bolvar. (Ben Brode)

When silenced, Bolvar loses his attack buff. (Ben Brode)

Bonus attack will reset upon being hit by Sap, Redemption, or Reincarnate. (Ben Brode)

Bolvar is the only target which gains bonus attack, not the hero. (Ben Brode)

Obtaining Bolvar directly from a player's hand, through a spell like Mind Vision, results in the clone being 1/7 even if the originating Bolvar is buffed.  (Ben Brode)

Bouncing Blade

Commanding Shout + Bouncing blade when you have 2 Armorsmiths and your foe has no minions...what happens?
Stops when all your minions have 1 Health (Ben Brode)

Blingtron 3000

Weapons summoned for each player only come from the collectible weapons. (Ben Brode)

Burly Rockjaw Trogg

Casting Shadow Madness on the Trogg will steal it, and it will have +5 attack. (Ben Brode)

Shadow Word: Pain + Trogg = Trogg dies. (Ben Brode)

Cobalt Guardian

Cobalt Guardian, who gets the Divine Shield? the Guardian or the summoned minion?
The Guardian. (Ben Brode)

Dunemaul Shaman

With a 50% to hit a random minion, does that mean the Dunemaul Shaman can get past taunts?
Yes. Can also hit Stealth. (Zeriyah)

Enhance-o Mechano

Is Enhance-o-Mechano smart enough to choose only between Windfury/Divine Shield if minion has taunt already?
Nope! (Ben Brode)

Will there a good indication that is what happened or am I going to feel like a bug just happened sometimes?
You can mouse over and see what he tried to give. (Ben Brode)

Explosive Sheep

Explosive Sheep + Poison Seeds = Equality + Consecration for druids?
Yeah, actually Poison Seeds will kill everything, Deathrattles happen, then makes 2/2s. - (Zeriyah)

Feign Death

Just to clear up a Reddit argument: does Feign Death simply trigger the Deathrattles, or does it also remove them?
Trigger, not remove. (Ben Brode)

Fel Reaver

[NEW] If I have no cards left and my Fel Reaver discards 3, do I draw 3 Fatigues or do I only Fatigue more when I draw a card?
Fel Reaver won't trigger fatigue. (Zeriyah)

Flame Leviathan

What happens if I keep flame leviathan in my opening hand?
No trigger. (Ben Brode)

Gazlowe

Gazlowe + Soulfire (now that it costs 1) = get a Mech card and then discard? or discard then get mech
Get a mech, then discard. (Zeriyah)

How does Gazlowe work with Sorcerer's Apprentice? Will Ice Lance trigger it or Frostbolt?
In example: A zero mana Ice Lance will not trigger Gazlowe, but a 1 mana Frostbolt will. (Whirthun)

Gazlowe: Hmm... Spare Parts are 1-mana spells! :) (Yong Woo)

Hobgoblin

Does Hobgoblin buffs Squire [summoned by Silver Hand Knight] and Totems?
Nope, must be played from hand (Ben Brode)

Great! So its the same with Muster for Battle/pally heropower?
Hobgoblin will not buff Paladin dudes. (Zeriyah)

Imp-losion

What happens if Imp-losion overkills a minion (like 4 dmg to a 3/2)? will I get all the 1/1 minions or just the target's hp.
You'll get all the imps. So if you do 4 damage to a 1 health minion, you'll get 4 imps. (Zeriyah)

Iron Juggernaut

How would Tracking interact with the Burrowing Mine? What about Thoughtsteal?
Tracking and Thoughtsteal do not trigger Mine. (Zeriyah)

Would burrowing mine trigger Ice Block?
Not if it's your turn, since Secrets don't trigger on your turn. (Zeriyah)

If you already have 10 cards and then draw burrowing mine, does the mine still trigger?
Nope, it goes poof. (Zeriyah)

Can you thoughtsteal the mine? What happens if you do (does it count as "drawing" it.
Also, if you cast it from your hand from Thoughtsteal, it doesn't do anything, but it does count as a spell. (Zeriyah)

[NEW] Is Burrowing Mine "played" when you draw it? If so, how it interacts whith cards like Auctioneer, Mana Wyrm, Troggs, etc.
It is not considered played. (Zeriyah)

[NEW] If the mine of the iron juggernaut is the last card of your opponent's deck, [will it] deal 10 damage and trigger fatigue [damage].
Yes. (Zeriyah)

Jeeves

BTW Jeeves doesn't automatically kill fatigued people. He looks at your hand, decides how many cards you need, then tries to draw that many. (Max McCall)

Kezan Mystic

What about situation if the secret Kezan Mystic would steal is the same as the one you have up ? Does it simply destroy the secret?
Always tries to take one you don't have. If that's impossible, then yes. (Ben Brode)

Kezan Mystic steals Snipe or Mirror Entity without triggering it. Battlecries always trigger first. (Ben Brode)

How does Kezan Mystic interract when played vs Mirror Entity?
Battlecry effects resolve first, so Kezan steals Mirror Entity, Entity doesn't trigger. (Zeriyah)

Lightbomb

[NEW] Does spelldamage affect Lightbomb (Deal dmg equal to atk+spelldmg)?
Yes. (Zeriyah)

Light of the Naaru

If Light of the Naaru kills something with Auchenai Soulpriest out, will you get a Lightwarden?
Yes (Ben Brode)

Mal'Ganis

Lord Jaraxxus and Mal'ganis interaction - Jaraxxus is immune, but doesn't get the +2/+2 buff. (Zeriyah)

Does your hero still take damage from life tap with Mal'ganis on board?
No. You still draw a card. (Zeriyah)

Malorne

Can we get Malorne from a Webspinner?
Yes. (Ben Brode)

Malorne + Baron Rivendare = 2 Malorne cards added to your deck?
No, you would have the one Malorne shuffled into your deck. (Whirthun)

Mimiron's Head

Question about Mimiron's Head in GvG, does the Head count as one of the 3 mechs to get V-07-TR-0N or is it 3 other mechs on the field?
It counts (Ben Brode)

Mistress of Pain

Oh yeah! If you hit with Mistress while you have Auchenai Soulpriest on the board, you will dmg/heal/dmg/heal/dmg till you die from it. :) (Yong Woo)

Mogor the Ogre

The Mogor the Ogre effect is cumulative? if an ogre already has this effect, he will be tested twice to see if it attacks right?
Yes, he will check twice. Mogor will try to confuse him, then the Ogre will confuse himself. (Zeriyah)

Muster for Battle

I have a Sword of Justice equipped and then cast Muster for Battle. What happens next? Go!
You get some 2/2's then it breaks your weapon. (Ben Brode)

Neptulon

[NEW] Why is Neptulon not named "Neptulon the Sealord"?
His actual title is "Neptulon the Tidehunter", but we'll pass the suggestion on. (Zeriyah)

One-eyed Cheat

Do you need to get One-eyed Cheat/Puddlestomp to get Captain Parrot/OME or only those in the Vanilla?
You only need cards from the original set to unlock those cards. (Whirthun)

Piloted Shredder

The minion summoned can be any two-cost minion that is collectible. It does not summon from your deck. (Ben Brode)

Piloted Sky Golem

The minion summoned can be any four-cost minion that is collectible. It does not summon from your deck. (Ben Brode)

Recombobulator

Can Recombobulator transform minions into any class' cards? ie a paladin vs a rogue could use it to make Archmage Antonidas? :)
Yep! (Ben Brode)

Can Recombobulator transform minions into Token? Example Emerald Drake?
No (Ben Brode)

Recycle

Fatigue never resets, in examples of Malorne, Iron Juggernaut, Recycle, etc. you will still get accumulating fatigue when out of cards. (Zeriyah)

Sabotage

Can you combo it with an empty board to only destroy a weapon?
Yes, empty board is fine. (Ben Brode)

Siege Engine

Does the Siege Engine gain Attack per application of armor or per point of armor?
Per application. (Zeriyah)

Sneed's Old Shredder

Can Sneed's Old Shredder can summon Mr. Bigglesworth? :D
Only collectible legendaries. (Ben Brode)

Tree of Life

If I'm playing Priest and Thoughtsteal Tree of Life, what happens if I play it with Auchenai Soulpriest on board?
Auchenai + Tree of Life = everyone dies. (Ben Brode)

Does Tree of Life restore health to players as well?
Restores health to ALL THE THINGS (Zeriyah)

[NEW] How does Tree of Life affect Armor if a priest uses it with Auchenai?
Armor isn't life, so if you're at 30 health and 1 armor with Auch out and you Tree, you'll be at one health since you'll take 30. (Zeriyah)

Undertaker

[NEW] I dont think Flare was the reason Hunter was dominant, it was Undertaker, why haven't you changed it? Did you think about it?
No current plans to change it - we're still keeping an eye on it. (Zeriyah)

if you have armor and the tree of life + auchenai soulpriest combo happens, does the armor save you if the total health + armor > 30?

(EDIT: I was wrong.  See below posts.)

As I understand it...

Tree of Life calculates how much health you need to get back to 30, and tries to heal for that amount.  Auchenai Soulpriest causes it to deal that much damage instead.

When a hero takes damage, armor gets destroyed before the life total gets reduced, so the hero survives if it had armor.

When a hero takes damage, armor gets destroyed before the life total gets reduced, so the hero survives if it had armor.

It tries to heal FOR maximum health value, like Ancestral Healing, not up to. So Auchenai Soulpriest+ Tree of Life will try to heal a hero for 30, Lord Jaraxxus for 15,Ragnaros the Firelord for 8 etc. Thus everything dies, unless it has Divine Shield, or a hero's Health+Armor > 30

You are right, I was wrong.  It deals damage equal to max Health, so Health + Armor has to exceed 30 to survive.

I believe the words of Ben Brode Auchenai + Tree of Life = everyone dies. (Ben Brode)

I think that the effect goes like Alexstraza's. It doesn't count the armor.. Tree of life goes directly to your Health Pool so it will make 30 damage tou your HP.. So even you have 50 armor you will end up with 0 life and 50 armor.

I would add the Bane of Doom one. :-)

Q : Can Bane of Doom summon Mal'Ganis? If not, has the demons it can summon changed at all in GvG?

A : Bane of Doom has not changed with GVG. Bane of Doom cannot summon Mal'ganis. It will still summon the same Demons as in Classic.

Quote from LucentDreamer »

I'm assuming Troggzor the Earthinator's tokens don't get +2 when summoned?

I'm thinking the Burly Rockjaw Trogg would get the +2 because Troggzor triggers on cast and not resolution like wild pyromancer. Then again I'm not entirely sure if the game would add BRT to the stack of abilities to trigger or skip him because he wasn't there for the initial check. hmmm

When Mimiron's Head does it's thing and you have 4+ mechs on the board, does it just randomly choose which ones are sacrificed? 

I am pretty sure that it will destroy all your mechs on the field otherwise it would state something like, destroy 3 mechs to summon this minion.

Blizzard are known to be very definitive with their card descriptions.

At least in my experience anyway =D
