Dual Class Cards

Multi-class cards is not exactly a new concept – they were first introduced back in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan as triple class cards. However, they were only a small part of the expansion and frankly didn’t make a big impact. Things are going to be way different now. Not only the cards are getting limited to two classes (for a better control of pairings), but we’re getting 40 of them – that’s a lot!

          

Dual class cards will combine the mechanics and synergies from two classes they are available to. Which means that if you play a card in a given class, you might have access to some unique mechanics that were previously only available to the second class. And so, you might be able to put a Combo card into Mage, or gain extra Mana Crystals as Shaman. In theory, this should open a lot of new ways to play for every class.

Here’s a list of all available class combinations:

• Druid/Hunter
• Hunter/Demon Hunter
• Demon Hunter/Warlock
• Warlock/Priest
• Priest/Paladin
• Paladin/Warrior
• Warrior/Rogue
• Rogue/Mage
• Mage/Shaman
• Shaman/Druid

And here’s the visual representation of class / dual class color wheel:

Spellburst

Spellburst is a new keyword, which appears on minions and weapons. When Spellburst minion/weapon is played, you can trigger its effect by casting any spell. However, it’s only a one-time effect, which means that after the first spell, you will no longer be able to trigger it again. It does NOT work like Wild Pyromancer, for example.

          

Spellburst effects are usually strong – stronger than something you would see on a Battlecry. However, they need a spell to activate them. Which means that timing is very important. Ideally, you want to activate the effect right after playing the minion/weapon, but it’s not always possible. Will you take a risk and just play the minion and risk getting it removed without the effect? Or wait until you can play both on the same turn? Sometimes you also want to pair it with the right spell, not just any spell (Diligent Notetaker).

Demon Hunter – Druid – Hunter – Mage – Paladin – Priest – Rogue – Shaman – Warlock – Warrior – Neutral

Because of 40 dual class cards (4 for each class pairing), each class will have access to 14 class cards this expansion – 6 unique, 4 shared with one class and 4 shared with another class. That’s why you see more card slots than usual, but the total number of cards in the set remains the same.
