Trivia
- Prior to Patch 8.0.0.18336, all druid Choose One transform cards had inconsistent wording, with Druid of the Claw Druid of the Claw Set: Classic Type: Minion Class: Druid Rarity: Common Cost: 5 Attack: 4 Health: 4 Abilities: Charge, Choose One, Taunt, Transform Tags: Beast-generating Choose One - Transform into a 4/4 with Charge; not including the word transform, Druid of the Flame Druid of the Flame Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Class: Druid Rarity: Common Cost: 3 Attack: 2 Health: 2 Abilities: Choose One, Transform Tags: Beast-generating Choose One - Transform into a 5/2 minion; or a showing the end result as opposed to the stat change, and Druid of the Saber Druid of the Saber Set: The Grand Tournament Type: Minion Class: Druid Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Attack: 2 Health: 1 Abilities: Charge, Choose One, Stealth, Transform Tags: Beast-generating Choose One - Transform into a 2/1 including both the word transform and related stat changes. This was eventually changed to follow Druid of the Flame`s formatting, with the new Shellshifter Shellshifter Set: Journey to Un Goro Type: Minion Class: Druid Rarity: Rare Cost: 4 Attack: 3 Health: 3 Abilities: Choose One, Stealth, Taunt, Transform Tags: Beast-generating Choose One - Transform into a 5/3 with Stealth;or a also written like this.
- Prior to some time in early 2013, the word "Transform" was printed in bold text on cards such as 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 , and always with a capital letter. This suggests that it was previously a keyword (like Charge For the card of the same name, see Charge (card) Charge is an ability allowing a minion to attack the same turn it is summoned. Charge is available to all classes, but is most strongly or Battlecry), complete with its own tooltip explaining the effect. The relative complexity of the mechanic (a non-reversible minion change) might justify this, with the ability the subject of some confusion during the game`s beta.
