Name / Desc	Rarity	Type	Subtype	Class	Cost	Atk	HP	Description
Prince Malchezaar	Legendary	Minion	Demon	Any	5	5	6	Start of Game: Add 5 extra Legendary minions to your deck. He was super excited to acquire Gorehowl at a garage sale! Then super disappointed to find out it was a foam reproduction.
Genn Greymane	Legendary	Minion	General	Any	6	6	5	Start of Game: If your deck has only even-Cost cards, your starting Hero Power costs (1). Ever since Sylvanas killed his son, he's dreamed of getting… even.
Baku the Mooneater	Legendary	Minion	Beast	Any	9	7	8	Start of Game: If your deck has only odd-Cost cards, upgrade your Hero Power. In her defense, it did look like a cookie.

Before The Witchwood expansion, Prince Malchezaar was the only card to feature the as-yet-to-be-named "Start of Game" mechanic. Prince Malchezaar's text was changed with Patch 11.0.0.23966 to include "Start of Game" in its card text, probably to allow Malchezaar to be put in decks with Baku the Mooneater without interrupting its effect, since Start of Game effects trigger before Malchezaar's.
