Strategy
The different spell costs provide three basic options for urgency and available mana: the 1 mana spells` low cost makes them highly versatile; the 5 mana spells fit perfectly on curve Example of a deck s mana curve display from the Arena screen The term mana curve refers to two related concepts: The amount of mana available to players over the course of a game, starting at 
the turn after playing a turn 4 Kazakus; while the 10 mana option is ideal for late game, or those gearing toward late game strategies. The crafted spell is available to use on the same turn.
It is worth noting that Kazakus combines devastatingly well with Inkmaster Solia Inkmaster Solia Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Minion Class: Mage Rarity: Legendary Cost: 7 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Battlecry, Modify cost Tags: Deck-related, Spell-related Battlecry: If your deck has no duplicates, the next 
; if you have Solia in hand, you can give much greater consideration to choosing a 10-mana spell, which usually has the problem of being extremely slow, even in slow matchups. Nevertheless, you should still consider the potential gains of being able to cast a cheaper-cost spell sooner, before you are able play Solia (unless, of course, thanks to cards like Emperor Thaurissan Emperor Thaurissan Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Modify cost Tags: Triggered effect At the end of your turn, reduce the Cost of cards in your hand

When choosing effects it is better to take into account what your opponent is playing.

Choice cards
The following choice cards Choice cards are special uncollectible cards which appear when choosing between possible effects. Choice cards only exist during the selection process and cannot be collected or placed in the hand or deck. Choice cards were 
are chosen from Kazakus`s Battlecry in order to create a custom spell for the player. The cost chosen determines the cost of the spell produced, as well as the power and/or availability of the subsequent effect choices.

Minions produced
Notes
- This minion`s Battlecry Battlecry is an ability where a particular effect activates when the card with the Battlecry is played directly from the hand. Although mostly limited to minions, some weapons also have Battlecries. Activation of Battlecries are checks the player`s unused deck A deck is a collection of exactly 30 cards. All cards drawn by the player during a game come from their deck. Each deck is tied to a specific class. Decks can be created and . If it contains no more than 1 of each card, the player will be able to generate a custom spell card.
- A yellow border will highlight Kazakus while in the hand if playing it will successfully activate its Battlecry.
- This minion`s Battlecry guides the player through a series of Discover Discover in action Discover is an ability that allows the player to choose from three different pseudo-randomly selected cards, with the chosen option generated and added to their hand. Some Discover effects offer random Hero -like interfaces, to create a custom spell with two effects:
- The player is first presented with 3 options to determine the spell`s cost: 1, 5, or 10 mana.
- The player is then presented with 3 of 9 or 10 possible spell effects, and must choose one.
- At long last, the player is presented with 3 of the remaining 8 or 9 possible spell effects, and must choose one. The effect picked first is removed from the pool of options. The effects presented first that were not chosen may be presented again.
- A spell card is then generated for the player with the chosen effects and mana cost.
- If the turn timer runs out when on one of the three Discover interfaces, a random Discover option will be picked from each of the remaining "unchosen" Discover interfaces, creating a Kazakus spell with these randomized Discover choices picked.
- Like all spells with multiple effects, both effects of Kazakus Potions take place in the same phase of the casting sequence, and will therefore play out before deaths are checked for or death-related triggers are activated. For instance, a potion with both the Felbloom Felbloom Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Felbloom is a choice card, created by Kazakus s Battlecry. and Goldthorn Goldthorn Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Goldthorn is a choice card, created by Kazakus s Battlecry. effects will deal damage to and then grant increased Health to all friendly minions before checking to see if any are at 0 or lower Health.
- Choosing Netherbloom Netherbloom Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Netherbloom is a choice card, created by Kazakus s Battlecry. or Ichor of Undeath will summon their respective minions in the more beneficial order: before Goldthorn and after Felbloom and Mystic Wool have taken effect.
- If Ichor of Undeath summons a minion with a triggered effect The lightning bolt icon, explicitly indicating a triggered effect Triggered effects are effects that activate in response to specific events. Triggered effects may belong to minions, weapons or spells (in the form of Secrets), as that triggers from casting a spell (such as Mana Wyrm Mana Wyrm Set: Classic Type: Minion Class: Mage Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 1 Health: 3 Tags: Spell-related, Triggered effect Whenever you cast a spell, gain +1 Attack.These wyrms feed on arcane energies, and while ), the Kazakus Potion will trigger its effect.verification requested
- Ichor of Undeath will not revive the same minion multiple times from a single death. For instance, if only one of the player`s minions died and Ichor of Undeath (10 mana) Ichor of Undeath Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Ichor of Undeath is a choice card, is used, it will only revive that one minion. Be that as it may, if multiple deaths occurred, for instance a minion died, was resurrected, then died again, the potion would be able to resurrect it once for each death - the resurrected minion actually counts as different from the original.
- The Icecap Icecap is the name used by a number of choice cards, all created by Kazakus s Battlecry. The cost, image and text of the choice card vary depending on the cost chosen during the creation process, effect will not choose mortally wounded While most rules in Hearthstone are fairly easy to ascertain, when several effects, each with their own behaviours, are brought into conflict, things can get a little more complicated. The advanced rulebook offers a comprehensive (0 or lower Health) targets, including targets that have been dealt lethal damage by the Kazakus Potion`s first effect. For instance, if the Heart of Fire effect deals lethal damage to a minion, Icecap will not try to Freeze that minion.
- There are 252 (9 x 8 + 2 x 10 x 9) possible permutations for spells, but the order the effects are chosen doesn`t matter. As a result there are 126 possible combinations.
- Probability of getting offered one specific effect is 58.3% for the 1 cost option and 53.3% for the 5 and 10 cost options . Probability of getting a specific combination of two effects is 21.9% for the 1 cost option and 17.8% for 5 and 10 cost options.

Potion ingredients
The effects of Kazakus`s potions are determined by the choice of ingredients included, each of which appears to be a potion in its own right.
- Felbloom Felbloom Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Felbloom is a choice card, created by Kazakus s Battlecry.
Felbloom is a herb with a close connection to the fel energy of the Burning Legion. Discovered only recently during the Burning Legion`s third invasion, where they were seen around the Legion`s landing structures, Felblooms may represent a corruption of the natural plant life of the area, and are often found near other fel-touched life such as the Chaos Clover and Doom Shrooms. Like these, Felblooms have a potent but short-duration effect if consumed, increasing the power of the imbiber while reducing their overall health. When brewed into a potion its effects seem to be compressed into a powerful but hard to control burst of damage, affecting everyone in the area.
- Goldthorn Goldthorn Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Goldthorn is a choice card, created by Kazakus s Battlecry.
Goldthorn is a herb found in low to middle-level zones across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. It is used in a range of Alchemy recipes, mostly providing buffs to stats, with an emphasis on health, armor and restorative effects. It can also be drank directly as Goldthorn Tea, although this does not appear to serve any special function beyond that of most refreshing beverages.
From Wowpedia:
- Goldthorn can be found on top of small hills. It spawns in the following regions - Alterac Mountains, Arathi Highlands, Azshara, Badlands, Dustwallow Marsh, Feralas, The Hinterlands, Stranglethorn Vale and Swamp of Sorrows.
- Heart of Fire
Heart of Fire is a fragment of the essence of a Fire Elemental The subject of this article is due to undergo changes soon. For details, see below. Fire Elemental Set: Basic Type: Minion Subtype: Elemental Class: Shaman Cost: 6 Attack: 6 Health: 5 Abilities: Battlecry, Deal damage 
. As an ingredient it is used in a range of recipes for creating gear or items, chiefly involving Blacksmithing, but this appears to be its first use in Alchemy beyond simple transmutation. Kazakus appears to have found a way to harness the elemental Elemental is a type of minion, depicting elemental spirits who have attained raw physical form. Elemental synergy effects typically require an Elemental minion to have been played on the previous turn. Elementals are available to 
spark into a source of directed damage.
- Icecap Icecap is the name used by a number of choice cards, all created by Kazakus s Battlecry. The cost, image and text of the choice card vary depending on the cost chosen during the creation process,
Icecap is a herb found only in the snow-laden zone of Winterspring, in north-eastern Kalimdor. While those trained in Engineering and Enchanting have found ways to exploit its capacity for Frost magic, Alchemists have not been able to find a use for it outside of a few miscellaneous potions - until now. Kazakus seems to have found a way to realise its Ice-inducing potential in a more powerful (if somewhat hard to control) form than ever before, freezing the unlucky targets in place.
- Ichor of Undeath
Ichor of Undeath is a rare crafting ingredient that drops only from low-medium level undead This page lists cards with card art depicting undead. Note that the broad category of the undead includes ghosts and spirits of the living, as well as the Forsaken, Scourge and others returned to undeath. 
mobs in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, specifically found in Dire Maul and Stratholme, as well as to a lesser extent in Scholomance and Razorfen Downs. The most spectacular use known prior to Kazakus was in creating the Gnomish Death Ray, which drains the life force of the bearer to direct a damaging burst of energy at the target. Kazakus appears to have realised the power of the Ichor to a far greater degree in his potions, which are capable of returning the dead to life... or at least undeath.
- Kingsblood
Kingsblood can be found in low to middle-level zones across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. It featuresSpecial attraction in an eclectic range of recipes, from healing and stat boosts to absorbing Shadow damage. Its function in Kazakus` potion appears to add yet another use to this versatile herb, and matches the effect of Xaril Xaril, Poisoned Mind Set: Whispers of the Old Gods Type: Minion Class: Rogue Rarity: Legendary Cost: 4 Attack: 3 Health: 2 Abilities: Battlecry, Deathrattle, Generate Tags: Random, Spell-generating Battlecry and Deathrattle: Add a random Toxin

- Mystic Wool
Mystic Wool is original to Hearthstone, although it bears an obvious relation to the mage`s Polymorph Polymorph Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Mage Cost: 4 Abilities: Transform Tags: Beast-generating Transform a minion into a 1/1 Sheep.There was going to be a pun in this flavor text, but it just came out

- Netherbloom Netherbloom Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Mage, Priest, Warlock Tri-class: Kabal Cost: 10 Chosen from: Kazakus See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Netherbloom is a choice card, created by Kazakus s Battlecry.
Netherbloom is a herb found only in the Netherstorm, a region in Outland consisting of several large land fragments floating amid the Twisting Nether Twisting Nether Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Warlock Rarity: Epic Cost: 8 Abilities: Destroy Tags: Area of effect Destroy all minions.The Twisting Nether is a formless place of magic and illusion and destroyed minions.See this 
itself. It is used in a variety of Alchemical recipes, serving variously to increase the imbiber`s stats or restore their resources, and simply absorbing the pollen of the plant serves to enhance the gatherer`s abilities. Kazakus appears to have found an altogether darker use for the herb, perhaps using its close connection to the Twisting Nether to summon forth a demon from that very realm.
- Shadow Oil
Shadow Oil is a special oil made from Grave Moss that can be applied to weapons, granting them a chance to spawn Shadow Bolts when they strike enemies. The oil is itself an ingredient in a handful of recipes, the most notable being the Greater Shadow Protection Potion, protecting the imbiber from a moderate amount of Shadow damage. Kazakus once again seems to have found a way to enhance the effect of the oil (perhaps with a touch of Netherbloom), using its shadowy powers to conscript demons to the user`s service.
- Stonescale Oil
Stonescale Oil is squeezed from the nocturnal Stonescale Eels, elusive prey found in the higher level areas of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms only between the hours of 12 am and 6 am. The oil is used in a handful of potent recipes to enhance the imbiber`s armor and health, as well as somewhat more comically in the Potion of Petrification, where it very effectively protects the user from all harm... at the price of turning them to stone.
Trivia
- According to Matt Place, Kazakus was conceived when a designer asked "what if players could make their own card". The details for Kazakus` effect were designed by Peter Whalen.
- Kazakus was originally designed as a Darkspear troll with the characteristic hunched over posture seen in most male trolls, but he was later redesigned as a Zandalari troll as their upright pose made him look stronger and more intimidating.
- As the head of the Kabal, Kazakus is intended to embody the three Kabal classes, with the arcane intellect of the mage, the manipulative magics of the priest, and the dark, hidden agenda of the warlock all combined in his design.
- Kazakus` effect was originally assigned to Inkmaster Solia Inkmaster Solia Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Minion Class: Mage Rarity: Legendary Cost: 7 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Battlecry, Modify cost Tags: Deck-related, Spell-related Battlecry: If your deck has no duplicates, the next , who, as a tattoo artist, would have the theme of writing a magical scroll as part of her effect. Since the design of creating a custom spell was so well liked by the Hearthstone team, her ability was later transferred to the leader of the Kabal. When the decision later came to make the Kabal themed around potion spells, Kazakus` effect was changed to have him craft a potion instead of writing a scroll with tattoo ink.
- The original design for Kazakus, two months before Kazakus himself was created, was a tri-class legendary named "Khajakus the Banished", a 7-mana 7/7 minion with " Battlecry Battlecry is an ability where a particular effect activates when the card with the Battlecry is played directly from the hand. Although mostly limited to minions, some weapons also have Battlecries. Activation of Battlecries are : If you have cast 10 unique spells this game, become Khajakus, Dragon Form". The effect was deemed too close to the "if you have no duplicates" mechanic that he was later changed to just that. The name "Khajakus" was later simplified to "Kazakus" to make it easier to read. When asked what "Khajakus, Dragon Form" was going to be, Mike Donais replied that he couldn`t really remember it off the top of his head but that it was "probably something really cool, though, like Ragnaros or something".
- The design of Kazakus` potions changed very little between his initial conception and his final release. According to Mike Donais, within about five minutes of him and Peter Whalen coming up with the idea of the card, Donais sat down and typed out exactly what all the potions were going to be in a document. They changed "about 5%" after that, mainly in the form of number tweaking.
- The Mystic Wool effect (transform minions into 1/1 Sheep) changed significantly during development. There were originally planned to be three options: transform 1 minion into a Sheep, transform 2 minions, and transform all minions. The first option was later changed to transform a random minion and the second to transform a random enemy minion, while the third option stayed the same. Be that as it may, the first option was eventually removed as it was deemed too powerful if the enemy player only had a single powerful minion, such as Ragnaros, and too bad if the RNG backfired and hit one of the player`s own minions. Mystic Wool is therefore the only one of Kazakus` potion effects that lacks a 1-mana option.
- There was originally another effect called Powerful Mojo (Copy 1/2/3 cards from your opponent`s deck and put them into your hand) but it was removed because the designers felt 3 card draw-like options (Kingsblood, Shadow Oil) was too much.
- The team wanted to capture the themes of Mages, Priests and Warlocks in Kazakus` different effects. Summoning a demon fit with Warlock, doing AoE damage fit with Mage and Resurrect effects and buffing your minions` health fit with Priest. The option that felt the most out of place was Stonescale Oil, but the team thought it was important to include because it created a really good option to use in desperate situations.
- The text for Kazakus Potion is generated dynamically in response to the choices made by the player. As such it is the source of some of the first dynamic card text in Hearthstone, the other being Jade Golem from the same set.
- The Kingsblood spells have the same name and effect as the Kingsblood Toxin Kingsblood Toxin Set: Whispers of the Old Gods Type: Spell Class: Rogue Cost: 1 Abilities: Draw cards Draw a card.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Kingsblood Toxin is an uncollectible spell card, generated by generated by Xaril, Poisoned Mind.
- The visual effect of Felbloom is the same as Hellfire`s visual effect, but it only damages minions on the board.
