在任何有关《炉石传说：魔兽英雄》（Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft）的讨论中，你肯定会提到这些内容：卡牌组成以及你最喜欢（或最具争议）的纸牌。

在这款免费的纸牌战斗游戏的iPad版本问世前，我于该项目背后两位来自暴雪的开发者进行了交谈。他们分别的制作总监Jason Chayes以及制作人Bryan Chang。在了解发行商是如何使用Unity将《炉石传说》从计算机移植到平板电脑的同时，我也询问了他们最喜欢的纸牌是什么。

Hearthstone(from 199)

制作总监Jason Chayes：疯狂的炼金师

疯狂的炼金师获得了来自《炉石传说》社区的广大喜爱。这一中立纸牌能够交换Minion的生命值和攻击，并中和敌人的纸牌或将你的一张纸牌变得更加强大。这是我最喜欢的一张纸牌，所以我投入了更多精力去完善它。

Chayes告诉我：“我非常喜欢疯狂的炼金师。这张纸牌能够做许多疯狂的事。我喜欢它的多功能性—-它能够改变地形。”

这同意也是对于游戏中最烦人且最强大的一大传奇的最佳回应。

Chayes说道：“这是一张非常出色的反Nate Pagle纸牌。”他提到了Legendary提供给玩家50%的机会在每一回合的开始绘制一张纸牌。它具有0攻击力和4个生命值—-并且能够与疯狂的炼金师交换这些数值，Pagle将因为没有生命值而死掉。

制作人Bryan Chang：裂颅之击

Rogues并不是你特有的施法者，但是在《炉石传说》中，他们却拥有一些最酷的咒语。将这些加基森拍卖师（游戏邦注：这将为你所发出的每个咒语提供一站纸牌）等纸牌结合在一起，Rogue将成为《炉石传说》中最厉害的英雄类别之一。

裂颅之击是Rogue最独特的纸牌。它将消耗对手3个魔法值和2个破坏力。但如果你在之前的回合中已经使用过一张纸牌，那么它的Combo能力将在实施破坏后把裂颅之击打向你。

Chang说到：“我认为这是一张很酷的纸牌。我反复地尝试它，甚至不会介意它反过来攻击我。”

Two of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft’s designers share their favorite cards

By Jason Wilson

Get into any discussion about Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, and you’re bound to talk about a couple of things: deck makeups and your favorite (or most controversial) cards.

Right before the free-to-play card-battler’s iPad rollout, I talked with two of the Blizzard developers behind the project, production director Jason Chayes and producer Bryan Chang. While learning about how the publisher used Unity to port Hearthstone from computers to the tablet, I also asked them about their favorite cards.

Here’s what they shared with me.

Production director Jason Chayes: Crazed Alchemist

The Crazed Alchemist gets a lot of love from the Hearthstone community. This neutral can swap a Minion’s health and attack, neutralizing a foe’s card or making one of yours more formidable. It’s one of our favorite cards, so it’s no surprise that one of the leaders of Blizzard’s team digs it as well.

“I like Crazed Alchemist a lot,” Chayes told me. “The card can do a lot of crazy stuff. I love its versatility — it can change the lay of the land [on the board.]“

It’s also a great answer to one of the most annoying, powerful Legendaries in the game.

“It’s a great anti-Nate Pagle card,” Chayes said, referring to the Legendary that gives its player a 50 percent chance of drawing a card at the start of each turn that it’s on the board. It has 0 attack and 4 health — and by swapping those numbers with Crazed Alchemist, Pagle dies because it has no health.

Producer Bryan Chang: Headcrack

Rogues aren’t your typical spellcasters, but in Hearthstone, they have some of the coolest spells. Combine these with draw cards like the Gadgetzan Auctioneer (which gives you one card for every spell you play) and Rogue becomes one of the best Hero classes in Hearthstone.

Headcrack is one of the Rogue’s most distinct cards. It costs 3 mana and does 2 damage to the opposing Hero. But if you had played a card earlier in your turn, its Combo ability puts the Headcrack back into your hand after it does its damage.

“I think it’s a cool card,” Chang said. “I play it over and over, and I don’t even mind when it’s played against me.”(source:venturebeat)
