Hero Cards are the 4th type of cards to come into the game - after Minions, Spells and Weapons!
When this card is played, it replaces your current hero and adds 5 armor to it as well. You'll also gain access to a new Hero Power, and the battlecry triggers as well.
Hero Power:
What is a Zombeast?
You'll discover a beast with card text, and then discover another beast which is either vanilla or only has keywords, and it will stich them together. You'll combine the mana-cost, health, attack and the card texts together into one card.
All minions available are 5-mana and below. There's no preference between Hunter and neutral Beasts. (ie it's not like Discover where class cards are weighted.)
Example: 3-Mana Rat Pack + 2-mana Bloodfen Raptor adds a 5-mana, 5/4 Beast in your hand with the card text of Rat Pack.

its unclear how good to me the Build-a-beast Hero Power will be. Seems like the minions would naturally be very expensive, which pushes hunter to a later game deck. but hunter has generally been good at midrange / aggro
does it give you 5 armor??? i mean the battlecry+5 armor would probably justify a 5 mana card instead of a 6 mana card, and it's definitely not a legendary effect, looks at Blizzard and Holy Nova
It's too early to say if these new heroes will be playable or another gimmick that is simply too slow to compete against the mass aggro we consistently see, but I will say that the concept has got to be among the most fun they've come up with. Creating your own beasts!? That's f**king awesome and I'm not even that big on Hunters, but I'll definitely be trying this out!!!
Card seems fucking nuts, it's a jaraxxus for hunter... for 6 mana.. which doesn't affect your health and gives you 5 armor, which comes with a free consecrate.. and gives you an even better hero power than jaraxxus. The hero power showed him picking a raptor and a rat pack, which spawned a 5/4 rat pack (2/2 + 3/2). wtf is the card pool for this hero power? Can you discover a tundra rhino and combine it with a highmane? Seems fucking insane.
Rhino and highmane would cost 11 making the zombeast unplayable lol

Another Control push for Hunter.
It hasn't worked in every single expansion before now, I can't imagine it'll work this time, but maybe in Wild it's possible?
How does build-a-beast decide what stats the minion gets? This might be the value card hunter needs since it lacks card draw

I knew it man. After quests I said "the next thing ya know they will just make the heroes themselves as cards AND VOILA THEY FOUND A WAY LMAO!!!!
Set looks fun glad i've got 2k in gold and counting thanks fire festival! #PraiseRagnaros
Edit: As for this car specifically, build-a-beast workshop sounds like a fun deck, but only time (and more previews) will tell.
Hi i'm Tyler and I play hearthstone and watch anime.
Sometimes i make cards. I'd like to do that for a career one day if ever possible.
Seems like it's too to be used unless Control Hunter gets more support this expansion.
Control Hunter feel but a little to early to tell if it would work although this seems like a good direction for hunter to explore.
I can't imagine Hunters spending 6 mana doing nothing. Too slow for the Hunter class.
I don't think Control Hunter could work. We still have a lot of cards to see though.
That's Incredible!
this seems slow for hunter, but the effect is sweet. All im wishing is for control cards for hunter, but it never works out in the end.
If the created beast has fix cost it will be insane but you have to pay a lot of mana for them so i think it will be ueseless, even in this meta.
Fanbase: Give us Death Knight as a Class!
Ben Brode: Okay.
