Lore
Blackrock Mountain
If you think shredders are the only things goblins like to tinker with, you are sadly mistaken. The green-skinned technicians within Blackwing Lair love to tinker with “organic chemistry,” creating volatile concoctions from dragon experiments that enhance their own nefarious powers. If you see a Blackwing Technician looking shady, be sure to take note: A dragon is near.[1]
World of Warcraft
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Blackwing Technicians can be found in the Crimson Laboratories of Blackwing Lair after defeating Broodlord Lashlayer. These goblins are the only known source of the rare Elementium Ingot.
Trivia
- Ben Brode and Mike Donais have stated that Team 5 considered 10 different versions of Blackwing Technician before reaching the current design, including the following:[2]
- At the end of your turn, restore 3 Health to your Dragons.
- At the end of your turn, give a random friendly Dragon +2 Attack.
- Deathrattle: Gain a Mana Crystal.
- At the end of your turn, reduce the mana cost of a Dragon in your hand by (1).
- At the end of your turn, give a friendly Dragon Windfury, Taunt, Divine Shield, or Stealth. (at random)
- Battlecry: Reveal a random Dragon from your hand. Gain life equal to its Cost.
A variety of designs were then tried to evoke the right synergies with the Dragon type. With an emphasis on encouraging players to include high cost Dragons in their decks, one design saw the Technician as a druid card, with its Battlecry grant the player Armor equal to the cost of a random Dragon in their hand.[2] However, both the lore and the Armor-generating mechanic involved ultimately felt too incongruous with the class.[2]
