My first question, for Clockwork Automaton, it doesn’t work with Paladin or Warlock or Rogue or Druid or Warrior?Īyala: Yeah, it works with him. GamesBeat: Let’s start with these new cards: the pixie and the automaton. This is an edited transcript of our interview. Hunter: The hero power when upgraded deals 3 damage to your opponent, so with these 2 cards and enough mana you could do 12 damage in one turn.Īt the Game Developers Conference last week, I broke down the design behind the Blackwald Pixie and Clockwork Automaton with Dean “Iskar” Ayala, a game designer on Hearthstone’s final design team, and Dave Kosak, the lead mission designer (he even brought his furry hat from the Witchwood announcement video, and after talking with him, it’s clear the personality and enthusiasm he brings onstage at Hearthstone events and in videos is genuine).Īnd yes, one of the possible consequences of Baku, Clockwork Automaton, and Blackwald Pixie is the return of … Quest Warrior, which we discuss below.If you also have Blackwald Pixie, you can heal for 8 twice (16 total in one turn!) Add Prophet Velen and it doubles again to 32. If you then play the Clockwork Automaton, it heals for 8. Priest: If you have Baku the Mooneater, the Priest hero power upgrades to healing for 4.And Thrall, Deathseer could evolve minions twice.īlizzard offered a couple of examples of how the Clockwork Automaton would work with Baku. Frost Lich Jaina, under the right circumstances, could end up with two Water Elementals from killing two 1-health minions with her power. For Uther’s, you can summon two of the four Horsemen you need to win the game. You’d get two sets of Wicked Knife for Rogue, too, but again, you could only attack once. The automaton’s power works with Mage, Priest, and Warlock … but watch out with Gul’dan, because if you use it to draw a card, you’ll deal 4 damage to yourself.īlackwald Pixie’s Battlecry also works well with the Death Knight hero powers. You could use the Druid’s twice, but you can only attack once, so you’d need to make sure you attack on the second use.
Maybe because they are made using wood from the Witchwood.”īlackwald Pixie’s Battlecry works with every hero power, but some aren’t as good as others. The Toymaker in Gilneas is one of the ‘good guys’, but for some reason his toys are coming to life and walking the streets. The Clockwork Automaton “is creepy, like one of those toys coming to life that you might hear about in a ghost story. The new cards are: Blackwald Pixie and Clockwork Automaton.īlackwald Pixie, as Blizzard’s lore reads, “was turned dark and spooky by Hagatha the Witch of the Witchwood.” Hagatha is the new Shaman Legendary hero, and she figures prominently in the lore behind the expansion.
