Quote from DaxxarriMagnetic? How does it work? Join Hearthstone Game Designer Stephen Chang as he talks about and tinkers with Magnetic, a new keyword coming in The Boomsday Project—Hearthstone’s newest expansion!
Marvelously Magnetic
Dr. Boom designed many of the Mechs that can be found in The Boomsday Project with Magnetic capabilities! Mechs with the power of this new keyword can merge with other Mechs as you play them to tackle even the toughest of tasks!
Simply place your Magnetic Mech to the left of any Mech you’ve already got on the board and they’ll fuse ALL their stats and card text together into a bigger, more powerful minion! Need them to stay independent? No problem. Just place your Mech down to the right of an existing Mech (or next to any non-Mech minions), and they’ll stay un-plugged to handle smaller tasks (and avoid getting blown up by powerful single-target effects or removal).
Watch the video and follow along as Stephen explores the power of these Magnetic marvels!
Will you combine your Mechs into gigantic mechanical juggernauts? Or keep them un-plugged to operate autonomously? Test out your designs on August 7 when The Boomsday Project commences!
I really like this mechanic, but it seems just a tad over costed. The flexibility of having them available to be played alone makes them a lot better than pure buff cards, but the stats alone aren't awesome. Zilliax still seems pretty rad though.
Also, this is official confirmation that Rush isn't Witchwood-exclusive. Huzzah!
I think you are underestimating how strong is 5-health early-game minion is in buff-oriented deck. Look at the Dire Mole, its all over the ladder.
I get that, but the main really-good buff deck is Druid, and they already have Druid of the Swarm. I do see your point though, and I dread getting my ass flattened by a Priest using this on turn 4 or Even Shaman putting this next to a Flametongue for the return of Totem Golem.
Pretty sure from now on every time a card would have rush it'll have charge instead.
"Just in case."
Because the community has proven what they complain the most about: cards that visibly hit them in the face.
First :P
