Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Dr. Boom's Scheme's card art depicts  Blastmaster Boom.
  • Prior to final design, this card had the effect that  Hagatha's Scheme currently does. In the final design process, the team were worried that Warrior's AoE toolkit was too effective.[1] At the same time, Shaman was struggling for AoE tools, so the effect was moved to that class and Dr. Boom's Scheme was reworked.[2] Dr. Boom's Scheme was playtested at 2 or 3 mana initially, but was increased to 4 to ensure it would only be played by fringe stall decks.[3][4] According to Dean Ayala, 4 mana was too much in retrospect and it could've been buffed to 3 or even 2.[5] However, he is still happy with the design capturing the "infinite" feel of scheme cards,[6] even if the gameplay negatives were too harsh in practice.[7]
