Blizzard has just revealed four new Mech cards with this new Hearthside chat that looks at the new Magnetic Keyword. We’ve got the neutral Upgradeable Framebot and Wargear. The Warrior epic card in the Beryllium Nullifier, and finally the neutral Legendary Zilliax!
Hearthside Chat: Magnetic Keyword/Mechanic – The Boomsday Project
The video says only hunter, warrior and paladin with get mech support, which makes me wonder 2 things.
1. What will other 6 classes get?
2. Are they going for same 3-class concept as in mean streets of gadgetzan?
Other cards. Mechs aren’t the only thing in Boomsday.
I’m almost sure that it isn’t the case, they would highlight it with the reveal. It’s very common that only a few classes get support for some kind of new mechanic.
E.g. in The Witchwood, only 3 classes have got an extra support for the Odd mechanic – Druid, Mage and Priest. And funnily, neither of those 3 decks have a working Odd deck. On the other hand, only a single class got Even support – Shaman (and this one worked, actually). And Warrior was the only class with Rush synergies, despite it being a new keyword introduces in that expansion.
Different classes have different focus, and that’s a great thing. Imagine every class being about Mechs this expansion, it would be boring, and if the Mechs / Magnetize would fail, then the whole expansion would be a flop. Maybe some of them will have a bigger focus on Projects, on Omega cards, maybe we’ll get a new unexpected in-class synergy (like Freeze Shaman… but let’s forget about that one) etc.
