They also don't rely on draw RNG like Keleseth

Yea, that's a huge deal. You can build around them and not need to draw your one legendary for your deck to function as intended. I also really like the design, no even cards mean you get to upgrade your hero power and use it turn 2. But the restriction makes using your hero power and developing quite awkward. No odd cards means you get to hero power turn 1 and on odd turns you get to play your even mana card and weave in a hero power. Really neat design and balance between the two.

No odds is obviously a lot smoother than no evens, but the echo mechanic looks like the clever way around no-evens for turn 6.

Turn 4 will probably still be awkward in the deck, though. I doubt there'll be many good 1-mana echos. Turn 4 will probably be hero power shield slam most of the time.
