Schemes and Lackeys might be the lesser of the new effects, but they might have a certain niche with the upcoming set rotation. So far, Twinspell is looking to be an insane effect and might have an impact on the meta. We can expect a lot of goofy mechanics and gameplay features. These minions have 1/1 stat lines, and more will be revealed in the coming weeks. Lackeys unleash insane and explosive battle cries against your opponent. A Rogue card, EVIL Miscreant, adds two random Lackeys to your hand as a result of a combo. Kind of crazy, right?Īs for Lackeys, one card produces this feature as of now. So at some point, you can nuke your opponent’s entire board with just one spell. It upgrades each turn when you hold it into your hand.

While this might be a slow card, it applies board pressure to your opponent due to the Twinspell mechanic. One of the new cards revealed that features this mechanic is a Druid spell, called The Forest’s Aid! For eight mana, you get to summon five treants with two attack and two health. Above all, this new mechanic is not only cool in design, but AMAZING in relation to gameplay features. Or, you can think of this as a “draw two cards” feature. Essentially, you can gain two spells for the price of one. Twinspell allows spells to add a copy of themselves to your hand after they have been cast. Twinspell is a brand new mechanic coming to Hearthstone! What does it do exactly? Let’s find out! If we could handle the Lich King and his army of the Scourge, the League of Evil will be a piece of cake. Now, they’re plotting to take over the magical floating city of Dalaran!
