aprIL FOOLS LMFAO!!!!!!!!
nice im so gonna farm noobs when this changes goes live
So basically, after the Rogue nerfs, we have a couple of weeks to enjoy a decent meta before we're drowning in Pogo-Hoppers.
SIGH.
I'm sure for a few of these this is their original mana cost, but because of Genn/Baku they had to be pre-nerfed.
Wow they actually did it.
Been saving Dr.Morrigan for a while lol. Might be worth it now.
Have to admit that I've not played the game for a while but if Blizzard are taking going to take more effort to micro manage the game state, I might get back on the ladder.
Token Mech Warlock, Deathrattle Hunter and Bomber Hunter will be so overpowered.
Echo? You mean repeatable this turn, right?
Hearthstone, consistent in being inconsistent, as always.
Echo just means repeatable this turn, but that card is from Rise of Shadows, thats all...
Cards from Witchwood had echo, then they print Witch's Brew in Rise of Shadows , which has "repeatable this turn" because echo was Witchwood only mechanic. And now we get a Rise of Shadows card with echo.
Maybe because it's not a spell? I do agree that it sounds weird if a minion has the effect of "repeatable this turn".
I think it a BD card since it also have magnetic and comes out with the BD card buff. The wording is inconsistent but i think it will rotate next year with WW BD and RR. I think they don't want a mechanic that only on 1 card.
Apparently it's going to be part of the Boomsday Project set, not Rise of Shadows. But it still is inconsistent since they said they didn't want to print set-specific keywords in subsequent expansions, and if they do, they wouldn't have the keyword itself (ie: Witch's Brew).
Even being part of Boomsday, it shouldn't have Echo.
For me is pretty consistent. Because we are getting that legendary in replacement of Baku and Genn from the the Witchwood set, where the "echo" mechanic was introduced
Echo? where is my repeatable this turn?

Luna's Pocket Galaxy could get a little scary. Btw how many of you felt like the gloop sprayer for a minute?
Am I dreaming?
Blizzard is gonna add a new card and buff rarely played cards to boot?
Seems to good to be true, but we are way past April 1st.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time they've ever added a new singleton card after an expansion. This needs to happen on the regular. I mean, all they have to do is hold back a few cards they would have put in the expansion anyway, and then release a card every month to change up the meta and make it feel like a live and changing game.
As for the buffs.... holy shit.
