Is the Azuki Gate like a Hero Power in Hearthstone?

PartlyPartly. Both are a once-a-turn ability every deck brings. A Hero Power usually costs 2 mana and needs nothing else; the Gate is free but needs an entity in your Alley to move forward.

The Gate in the Azuki TCG

Every deck has one Gate. Once per turn, tap it to portal an untapped entity from your Alley into your Garden; then the Gate’s effect happens, sized by that entity’s Gate Power. The Gate costs no IKZ and can’t be attacked or destroyed.

The same

  • Once a turn, always available, part of your deck choice.

Different

  • Most Hero Powers cost 2 mana. The Gate costs no IKZ.
  • The Gate moves an entity from your Alley to your Garden, and its effect grows with that entity’s Gate Power.

Hearthstone: checked against the Hearthstone Wiki: Hero Power. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
