    Rarran, there is a old developers joke on the attack sound of Doomsayer. His entry line is "the end is coming", then he get killed, or destroyed he says "i knew it" but of you silence him, and after that give him attack somehow, you can actually hear his attackline which is: "did i missed it? " i found its super cool, and dont know how popular it is

    These "special" videos give a great inside how these guys develope the game. Also it has so much potential for other special "do you know hearthstone" videos. If you get other develepors, you can do a video for artwork only, maybe effects (balancing) or even, if they have special sub teams for the heroes, for one specific hero. Keep up the great work.

    12:28 if due to the card effect you draw several cards, there would be a difference between "After" and "Whenever". One short example for the following situation:
    Mage has a full hand. He then plays Archmage Arugal and Arcane Intellect to draw two cards from the deck (8 cards in hand at the moment spell is casted). Let's assume that the top card is a minion and the second card is a spell.
    1. If wording is "Whenever" - player gets a minion, Arugal's effect triggers right away, which adds a second copy of the minion to Mage's hand. Arcane Intellect effect continues, which burns the spell drawn next.
    2. If wording is "After" - player draws a minion and a spell from deck, Arugal's effect triggers after Arcane Intellect's effect, however, extra copy of the minion is not added to Mage's hand since the hand is too full..
    Of course this situation is purely theoretical since no one ever played Arugal lol
