Leo: "I think the most important thing is that this one single card is creating so many new decks and promoting gameplay that people really like the debate over whether he's good or bad. It keeps people wanting to play, and they keep coming across new decks that are having crazy success with, like Lady Prestor Druid (opens in new tab)." You still see players on both sides of the equation, going from 'this is broken' to 'this is not very good', and I think that's the best outcome that we could have hoped for. Its functionality has clearly had a seismic effect on deck construction that won't be figured out overnight, and the designers view that as a big positive so far.Ĭora: "Surprisingly, I will say, I think that this is maybe the longest time I've ever seen it take for the players to come to a general consensus about a card. The card has been tried in many existing decks and brand new strategies. According to data tracking site HSReplay (opens in new tab), Renathal is in 49% of all decks from Diamond to Legend rank since release. This might be the longest time I've seen it take for the players to come to a general consensus about a card. We felt the set needed just one more card that had some punch, and this was where we wanted to do it. "We really wanted Prince Renathal to be this card that breaks rules a little bit. "I think as Hearthstone has been around longer, and as a lot of us on the team have more experience working on the game, we just feel a little bit bolder at taking risks," Georgiou said. We recently spoke to Georgiou, who was the lead on Murder at Castle Nathria, as well asinitial designer Leo Robles, to ask them about why now was the time to experiment with player starting health totals, which are such a core part of the game's balance. Prestor Druid works because you're almost guaranteed to draw her on curve, despite the larger deck size.
