Giants in your opening hand affects the parity of your deck (currently only for Baku)

EDIT : CLOCKWORK (12 mana) TRIGGERS BAKU (odd only) IF IT'S IN YOUR OPENING HAND

(the rest of my deck is odd cards, I put only 1 Clockwork)

I'm experimenting with an even Naga Giants deck (now that NSW is 8 mana).

After numerous testings against AI, it turns out that if you have clockwork giant in your opening hand (after mulligan phase), Greymane effect doesn't trigger. This happens regardless of who goes first (thus regardless of clockwork's mana cost in your hand).

Proofs : first player / second player / with another even deck

I just hope Blizz will fix it before NSW full refund period ends :(

Some other proof(in adventure) https://imgur.com/a/AOnwSU8 Since we got Dorothee, the sea giant in hand cost 1 less, which can be count as odd.

General Drakkisath's hero power change card in hand to 1, so DK warrior count as odd.

When you fight General Drakkisath (Passive: All cards cost 1), Baku always triggers whatever other cards of your deck are.

That's an interesting inconsistency. Most card cost auras only affect the cards after they've entered the hand. Bringing odd-cost secrets to a game with Putricide will only prevent Baku from triggering if they're in your opening hand. Drakkisath is instead affecting the cards in the deck, too? Should test Prince Liam, Holy Wrath, and/or Hemet Jungle Hunter in this fight.

Sorry for mistake. Even cards must be drawn in your starting hand to trigger Baku when fighting Drakkisath. And Liam, Holy Wrath and Hemet resolves correctly (only transform cards costing 1 originally/ deal damage equal to original cost /only destroy cards costing 3 or less originally).

Resolved an issue where Genn Greymane would not trigger in an even deck if Clockwork Giant was in the opening hand.

Half fixed. Baku still checks the current cost.

Still happens

Still affects Baku: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/fwp955/baku_doesnt_work_with_demon_hunter_if_you_have_a/

Baku Doesn't Work with Demon Hunter if you have a 0-Mana Eye Beam In Your Opening Hand

I'm playing Odd Demon Hunter as well and I can confirm this.

Can confirm
