Blackwing Lair Boss Cards

If you're looking for some info on what we'll be seeing out of this week's bosses to start theorizing decks, look no further! We don't know how much armor any these encounters will have, or what the other cards in their decks are until the wing opens up.


Razorgore the Untamed

Razorgore summons Corrupted Eggs every turn, and starts to hatch them. On heroic difficulty they will hatch in two turns if you don't deal any damage to them.

Power: The Rookery Give all Corrupted Eggs +1 Health, then summon one. 0    
Corrupted Egg When this minion has 5 or more Health, it hatches. 1 0 3
Chromatic Drake   4 7 7
Razorgore's Claws Whenever a Corrupted Egg dies, gain +1 Attack. 1 1 5

Vaelastrasz the Corrupt

Not a whole lot going on in this fight from the boss specific cards, it just looks like Vaelastrasz is mill-happy. Aggro decks should excel in this encounter, as could mill decks.

Boss: Vaelastrasz the Corrupt       30
Power: Essence of the Red Each player draws 3 cards. Gain a Mana Crystal. 0    
Burning Adrenaline Deal 2 damage to the enemy hero. 0    

Chromaggus

His hero power adds cards to your hand which give him a benefit. You must waste your own mana to get rid of the cards, with the cards being more costly and negative on heroic.

Note: We aren't sure what exactly Mutation will be used for, but at some point, someone gets to discard random cards. This may be a hero power you will somehow inherit.

Boss: Chromaggus       60
Power: Brood Affliction At the end of your turn, add a Brood Affliction card to your opponent's hand. 0    
Brood Affliction: Red While this is in your hand, take 3 damage at the start of your turn. 3    
Brood Affliction: Green While this is in your hand, restore 6 health to your opponent at the start of your turn. 3    
Brood Affliction: Blue While this is in your hand, Chromaggus' spells cost (3) less. 3    
Brood Affliction: Black While this is in your hand, whenever Chromaggus draws a card, he gets another copy of it. 3    
Brood Affliction: Bronze While this is in your hand, Chromaggus' minions cost (3) less. 3    
Chromatic Mutation Transform a minion into a 2/2 Chromatic Dragonkin. 2    
Chromatic Dragonkin Whenever your opponent casts a spell, gain +2/+2.  2
Mutation Discard a random card. 1    

Lord Victor Nefarius

This fight appears to have two phases, one where Nefarius is in his human form, and a second where he transforms into the black dragon, Nefarian.

There are four unique cards tied to this encounter, one of which is a spell version of Ragnaros' hero power.
