Hearthside Chat: Echo w/ Peter Whalen - Two New Witchwood Cards Revealed
Peter Whalen has revealed two new Echo cards in a new Hearthside Chat video which goes over the new Echo mechanic.
Echo cards return a copy of themselves to your hand on the same turn they’re played, so if you have the mana required, you can play them again and again!

Now with 2 warpath and 2 razor Warrior have all the ww they need in only 4 slot, free 2 moee slot for other stuff. Ppl havent notice it yet. Paladin and token deck have no chance vs this card. And with the 4 mana +3 attack rush minion CW now have early answer for midrange deck too. It only weakness is hardcore control deck, but it seems team5 want to leave warrior this way. A type of control deck annihilate faster decks but weaker vs other control or combo deck
Warpath's a nice card. A 4 mana Consecration. An 8 mana Flamestrike. And the successive damage makes it better than both of those as it breaks down Divine Shields and can then deal additional damage and can clear Deathrattle summons to boot.
Would this see play if it was a 6/6 body with battlecry: add 3 random legendaries to your hand? im not sure which way round i prefer it? but i know its gonna be fun to play!
I can see the potential of this card style.. but just seems like the mana investiment can easly become too high depending on the effect, 5 Warpath would be at max a 10 mana deal 5 to all for instance
6 legendaries for 9 mana, sounds OP
(3 in hand 3 on board)
Then you get Lorewalker Cho, Moorabi and Clutchmother Zavas for the maximum benefit.
Edit: forgot to Kappa
To be honest, this is disgusting how the community of Hearthstone is hyperhypying about new cards, just for the fact that they are being released 2 by 2, corridor creeper was among 30 card and the "intelligent" people didnt say anything, and now they are with this obviously filler because there is no design space, trying to defend and say that is good???? For fuck sake, its a filler for warrior, warrior will get better cards for the missing control warrior or whatever but dont try to use stupid arguments about how flexible is this card because this card is SHIT, absolute pure dust, so please hearthstone community, stop defending every single card, like the 4/5 mage elemental that reduces 2 mana that nobody plays but everyone was saying was the best card of the expansion. STOP, PLEASE STOP, STOP THIS BULLSHIT, STOP THIS HYPE, STOP THIS BLINDED DEFENSE WITH FILLER, PLEASE STOP, PLEASE SHOW INTELLIGENCE
Wow, that is quite a rant... Chill man, people have been right and wrong in the past about a range of cards.
AS for me, I think people are right, this will see play, Warrior used Whirlwind and sleep with the fishes, this card can replace 4 cards with two for a fair and flexible board removal. (Also for warrior a buff with Armor, Rotface, Enrage etc)
I don't believe it will replace fishes because it's only 2 damage for 4 mana, whereas whirlwind and fishes is 4 damage for 3 mana. It depends whither or not this will be a wide or tall meta imo.
*In wild, since fishes is rotating... Leaving Warpath as the only suitable replacement.
Yes a fair point, more mana efficient (4 dmg for 3), less card efficient (4 cards for 2).
But in wild as you say of course :)
you sound like you need a hug
Guys, you do realize Echo is a buff to Quest Rogue right?
A late-game quest rogue, since most of the minion echo cards are expensive to play 5 of in a single turn, Even with shadowsteps.
A brand new type of quest rogue; one that just tosses the quest to draw it with a echo minion and shadowstep much later in the game for a turn 10 quest play.
well we don't know all echo cards yet. if there is a 1-drop for Rogue there, then yeah quest will be completed on turn 5 guaranteed, or turn 3 if you get it with shadowstep on turn 2.
so lets hope Blizzard doesn't make such mistake as printing cheap echo minions which are rogue or neutral...

„Put a 1 mana 1/1 copy of a random legendary minion to your hand“ as a battlecry instead of this garbage. Is it that difficult? We definitely need a ptr server because I want to understand why this card right now is better than my version...
the battlecry should be "Deal 10 damage to the enemy hero". That would be better than both the final version and your version, so I'm not sure why they didn't go with my version???
