Hearthside Chat with Dave Kosak: Loa and Lore

Hearthstone Reddit sat down with Peter Whalen and Liv Breeden:

Work started on Rastakhan’s Rumble back in early January

Battle for Azeroth inspired the set. They didn’t feel constricted by using it, lots of cool characters.

Spirit cards will be available in the arena

The Shrine mechanic is only for the single-player content

Starting with Kobolds & Catacombs, they learned that build around cards are better when they are easier to obtain (rare).

Using the learned knowledge around that, this set gives players a cheap and expensive version of the same build around to keep it more accessible (Spirits and Loas)

They are not opposed to bringing back older keywords/mechanics we loved so well.

We’re going to see pirates in the set but not all of them will be cheap to play. Pirates are still an aggressive archetype though.

A Temporus Shift

Time is an illusion, turn times doubly so. Build a Standard deck and each time you’ll get an extra turn.

How It Works

Build yourself a Standard deck.

Take two turns in a row every time! Fantastic combo ideas inbound!

Given that the new expansion is going to have a heavy troll theme, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t get a new “troll” tribe in the game.  This led me to look at all the trolls we already have in the game… (only 19).

What is your favorite hearthstone troll?  And, is there a troll from your WOW experiences that you hope will find its way into hearthstone?
