That’s correct.

We actually tried this. It was (1) less for each Demon that died this game. That didn’t last too long once we started playing it with Glina Crowskin. Getting a board of 8/8 Demons for 0 Mana is pretty insane.

No, Desperate Measures will only give you a Secret you don’t already have out.

To add to this, we like that Corrupted Blood creates a tension and a clock. When your deck is completely Corrupted Blood, it’s nice to know that you can close out a game if you’re close. This is also why Fatigue deals increasingly more damage. It’s more interesting if a player has one last chance to win, rather than abruptly losing.

We like to keep keywords to one set. All other Echo cards rotate out before this one, so it doesn’t make sense to have a keyword on a single card in a set. For a new player to jump in to Hearthstone, it can be difficult to learn a bunch of new keywords. By limiting the number of keywords that people have to learn, the easier it is to play Hearthstone. Witch’s Brew doesn’t suffer from being unreadable if we take the keyword off.

Once minions are on the battlefield, their Costs are treated as the normal Cost for their card. This applies to Giants, discounted minions, and other 1/1 things. So if you have Dorian on the battlefield and you draw a 5 Cost minion, even though the minion on the board is 1/1, the Cost for that minion is 5. If you cast Conjurer’s Calling on the 1/1 minion, you’d end up with two normal sized 5 Cost minions.
