Baku, the Mooneater not working properly for Demon Hunter

Hey guys.
With the new expansion out today, I wanted to try out Odd Demon hunter in wild ranked ladder.

In the first few games everything was normal, but then one game I noticed that Baku did not active (and did not upgrade my hero power).

I have double and triple checked that my deck contains only odd cards, and that I have not been changing my deck between games.

This bug seems to occur somewhat unpredictably, and I cannot see any reason why this error would be occuring.

I am currently making note of what my matchups are to determine if that impacts my results at all, and will follow up shortly.

Feel free to ask me any further questions regarding the issue, as I wish to see it fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks,
JDS

What is in your deck?

I’ll skip you right to the likely answer: if Eye Beam costs 0 in your opening hand, Baku will fail to trigger. It’s a long standing bug that hasn’t come up in a while, which can be caused by any card whose cost can change before the start of game phase. It used to affect Genn too - that one was patched, but Baku was overlooked. It hasn’t been an issue until now because you usually had to go out of your way to see it.

Oh! Thank you for the response. I presume blizzard will fix this soon hopefully?

With the recent spike in reports, I suspect it finally will be soon.

Happening for me too. You’re not the only one. I’ve been screaming what the f*** at my screen for like 10 minutes.

Its not because of Eye Beam. Yesterdey my Baku Demon Hunter deck was totaly fine. Today i have noticed, thah i have Imprisoned Aentan in my starting hand of 6 mana not for 5 mana and the six number was red coloured. Than after that, i was playing even that my baku wasnt activated a i saw thah my Eye Beam card wasnt for 0 mana when it was on my left side in hand, it costed 1 and thehe was no effect on the board to make this cost one more. Pls let me know if you have same problem or if its fixed. Thx

My Imprisoned Aentan was for 6 mana in my starting hand. Thats why baku wasnt activated. But in collection its for 5 mana still. There was a problem with Eye beam also. It was for 1 mana even it was outcasted from left side of my hand

Thank you for this reply! It wasn’t happening for me yesterday, I didn’t think nothing of it. It just started happening today and I went over my deck and thought I was having a stroke or something because I couldn’t find any even cards. Hopefully they fix this soon. I actually like the Demon Hunter.

Well, it won’t happen due to Eye Beam anymore, if only because they recently changed that card to discount to 1 instead of 0. Instead it’ll happen due to Skull of Gul’dan and Imprisoned Anten, because those cards now cost 6 instead of 5 (Won’t show in the collection yet but it will thwart Baku in game). You’ll have to cut those from your deck if you’re using them.
