Blizzard teases us with a few new cards from upcoming expansion The Witchwood

As excitement for Hearthstone’s upcoming The Witchwood expansion builds, Blizzard continues to leave its trail of breadcrumbs, granting us with little bites of info on the expansion’s new cards and mechanics. Today, Peter Whalen, Hearthstone’s lead designer, gave us a closer look at the new Echo keyword.

If you’re just catching up on all that The Witchwood entails, Echo allows you to play cards with that particular keyword over and over again within the same turn, mana willing. Timing is everything for this keyword, and it looks like there are a few different approaches players can take when using this ability. Whalen also showed us two new cards with the Echo keyword, Face Collector, a Rogue Legendary minion that lets you add a random Legendary minion to your hand, and Warpath, a Warrior spell that does one point of damage to all minions.

Blizzard will be hosting a stream next week offering a sneak preview of even more cards from The Witchwood, if you’re super curious.
