Echo
|
Echo is an ability whereby the card can be played multiple times in one turn. This is accomplished through copying the card to the user's hand until the end of their turn.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Echo works by placing a new copy of the card into your hand, which is removed at the end of your turn.
- This effect is triggered by echoed copies as well, meaning that you may keep deploying until you run out of mana.
- Echoed copies are always the original version of the card. Copies will not take in-hand stat or cost changes, unless it's being provided by an aura (like Summoning Portal or Sorcerer's Apprentice).

Cards with the Echo mechanic[edit | edit source]
When Echo was announced, Blizzard confirmed[1] they would not be modifying already-existing cards to have the updated keyword because the mechanics are not completely identical to Echo. The following cards have the mechanic without the keyword.

History[edit | edit source]
Echo was inspired by "Ghostly", an earlier mechanic experimented with during the development of The Witchwood, when the expansion was instead called Murder on the Gilnean Express. Cards with Ghostly discarded themselves at the end of the player's turn. Cards that only had Ghostly as their card text essentially required the player to play the card the turn it was drawn, while other cards added Ghostly copies of themselves to the player's hand. As Blizzard kept iterating, they found that the most fun version of Ghostly was the cards that replicated themselves, as they could both be useful during the early game and could be powerful during the late game if the player sunk extra mana into them. Furthermore, deciding how long to hold on to them to eke out more value proved to be skill-testing and interesting. As the setting of the expansion evolved from a train to a haunted forest, Ghostly "became more and more the perfect flavor for the set", eventually becoming Echo.[2]
