Peter Whalen & Dean Ayala Showcase Old Rastakhan's Rumble Card Designs
IGN's Cam Shea had a chance so sit down with Peter Whalen and Dean Ayala of the Hearthstone team to talk about the designs of cards in Rastakhan's Rumble. We've got some interesting pre-release versions of some of our favourite cards, and cards that's straight up never made it! Check them out below.
They have another team for designing, I guess this is gameplay-development only.
Grimoire of Service would be a great 6-7 mana epic card to have instead of Void Contract. 9 mana is way too steep
too op even at 9
You have no concept of this game's power-level if you think anyone would play that effect at 8 mana or more. Barely anyone plays Faceless Manipulator at 5 as it is. Or Ectomancy or Prince Taldaram for that matter. Get real dude
that was unnecessarily personal
:,(
??? So?
Yes Shieldslam ( although getting a lot of armor vs odd Paladin could be quite difficult) and Metor would be very punishing against Thekkal. But these are only played in two classes ( and I doubt every Mage runs meteor) , and you simply wouldn’t play that card in that matchup. Overall this would still only be a minor drawback to a unkillable minion ( just imagine him with buffs.... i belive this would force every deck to run Silence).
So many interesting card design ideas. Wish they will be realized in the nearest future in some form.
Many of them is in Rumble adventure. Thekal, Gonk, Hirek Shrine, Hirek the Bat,
Shrine to Shirvalla , next turn Spikeridged Steed on it....
GG I won Hearthstone!
Does nothing, since it can't be attacked. You ever try giving a stealthed minion taunt?
Cast it on something else?
The thing is it doesn't have Stealth.

Pretty sure they would be more like a passive card which have an effect take a board space but can't do or can't be interacted with in any way.
The point is if you put taunt on a minion that your opponent cant attack (such as stealth), then the taunt is ignored.
From decent to utterly shit - Hir'eek the bat
I don't know why going from the old card to the one we got was ok in their mind
Shrine of Gonk could've made Odd Druid at least sem-interesting. F
Yeah , what an idea to give OddPaladin a unkillable minion....
