Strategy
Barnes is at its best when it summons minions with high impact effects like Ragnaros or Emperor Thaurissan, that most of the time are going to be removed after one turn but are still played because of their power. Cards summoned via Barnes` effect do not have their Battlecry effects go off, so players might want to emphasise minions with other effects, such as Deathrattles.

A Night at the Opera!
- "Welcome, party-goers! I am Barnes, the stage manager, and this is the finest theater in Azeroth. Medivh The subject of this article is part of theOne Night in Karazhan adventure. Medivh Set: One Night in Karazhan Type: Hero Class: Mage Health: 30 (Normal)30 (Heroic) data page] For the regular hero, see Medivh
has an incredible show planned for the party. Come, I’ll show you around—we might even have time for a little improv!"
- "Karazhan’s opera house is the height of elegance and sophistication, and these very planks of wood have seen some of the greatest stories of the age unfold with pathos and grandeur. Glorious, but that’s in the past! Never look back, darlings—it distracts from the FUTURE! The show we have in store tonight will put them all to shame. I predict that these featuresSpecial attraction will be so great, so EPIC, that people will return in droves again, and again, and again—just to catch a glimpse of their favorite play!"
- "Ah, but there will be no shows if there are no sets. Sadly, my crew are all late, or misplaced their guild cards, or are lost somewhere in Karazhan. That last one is a surprisingly common occurrence, actually . . . No matter! Anyway, I’m sure you’ll do fine, you look like naturals. I’m so excited to begin!"
- "Oh settle down. It’s clear to see that you’re all heroes, so a total stranger asking you to perform menial labor should feel quite familiar. Oh, you want a reward? Well, I can promise you the greatest reward imaginable if we can finish in time. Ah, now I’ve got your attention! Now let’s see. . . ."
- "Let’s get this tower set up. Yes! It looks just like real stone, doesn’t it? That’s because it IS real stone. Originally, Medivh was going to magic it into place, but since he’s busy now I’ll just have to make do. Now, get in there and really put your backs into it and HEAVE! Oh, well done. Our lead actress will look positively radiant all the way up there."
- "Here, take these hammers—this quaint forest cottage won’t build itself, you know! I mean, it was supposed to build itself, but with Medivh occupied doing who knows what, we will just have to get our hands dirty. And by “we”, I of course mean “you”."
- "Good job! That cottage is looking really quaint! Now we’ll just need to do just a tiny little bit of sewing and you’re all done. How many costumes? Well, all of them actually—I’m no seamstress. Medivh was going to—well, nevermind what Medivh was going to do. I’m sure that with a whirlwind of activity we’ll be done in no time! The tailoring supplies are in those cabinets. Now let’s hustle!"
- "Ah, it appears that Moroes has returned to take you off my hands. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but at least everything is finally prepared for the show tonight! I hope you enjoy the party! And get some rest before the festivities, you all look exhausted!"
- "Oh, your reward? Why, a job well done, of course!"

As with most of the mortals in Karazhan, in World of Warcraft Barnes is dead, appearing in the opera house as a ghost to relive his duties during life... albeit with a slightly more sinister twist to the proceedings.

Design
Designer Peter Whalen Peter Whalen Peter Whalen is a Blizzard employee and Senior Game Designer 1] on the Team 5 Hearthstone development team. 2] Whalen joined the team in Jul. 2015. 3] 2] Prior to this, he is describes Barnes as a perfect example of a story character and card design unexpectedly fitting together:
- "The medium-sized minion, summon a 1/1 copy from your deck--that was floating around for a while. It was a lot of fun, it made for interesting deck-building decisions, and interesting gameplay, it`s good with a bunch of different things. It`s a really interesting neutral legendary. And we knew we wanted to do Barnes in the set. Barnes is very important to Karazhan, he`s one of the major story characters. So we looked at these two designs and thought, wait, the 1/1 we`re summoning is just an actor. It`s just representing a minion from your deck. This is a perfect fit for Barnes. We made that connection and we got that animation running for Barnes with the spotlight, it really comes together and sells that story."
