Ideas for this week!

That card I think is meant for handbuff pally

This is my actual first-idea (ignoring the silly chicken). I'm not a fan of the name or the picture, but I wanted to get it out here to see what people think. Maybe someone has an idea for a better name or picture.

Anyway, the point of the card is to corrupt all minions on the board, binding their souls to the players like a lich. Until they die both players are Immune, forcing each of you to focus on the minions and eliminate everyone on the table if you want to resume fighting. I don't want you to be able to cheese the spell, though, applying it while you have no board to prevent the enemy from doing anything while you ignore them and draw cards/prep for a later turn. Hence the high cost - it won't be useful against aggro decks - but perhaps there's a way to curb the abuse preemptively.

I have no further input -- the base concept seems neat -- except to suggest this image:

WoW Wiki used this when talking about Necrolyte soul binding and manipulation and it feels so in-flavor for your effect. Names could go in a lot of different directions. Spooky utilitarian, smartass evildoer? I could come up with something later maybe.

 That's a cool picture; thanks! Here's how it would look:

 

Honestly, whats the point of this? Just play Twisting Nether instead, since corrupted minions die at the start of your turn, right? Or is this "corruption" supposed to be something special? Not the existing game mechanic? If so it should be probably called something different.

 Love it! If you're still looking for a new name, may I recommend "Soul Security"? With that picture I think it's sick, but maybe there are better.

Does this card make sense?

 It is not meant to destroy them so Yes, it is technically something different. "Corrupted" happened to be an ideal word for what I was hoping to achieve, despite the mix up with Corruption and/or Corrupting Mist. The way I figured it, I'm not mentioning the "Destroy it/them..." so they shouldn't be mentally combined with the rest of the card's text.

I can change it. "Bind" and/or "bound" would make more sense flavor-wise, anyway. Should have thought of that.

Edit: How's this? Still iffy on the name, if anyone has some input on that front.

 I really like the Jacques, has some cool flavour. About the Blaze of Glory: what would happen if you played a second one the next turn?

Quote from AxletheBeast >>

Alright, thanks for the input everyone!

After some thought, I decided to revise the effect. Now it can be used as an utterly absurd buy yourself another turn Ice Block type thing at the end of the game, or used to preserve your minions a little longer through Immune before killing them or see double-use as a removal like Corruption. Going with that card and the previous statement about Immune not being really worth more than 1 mana (maybe even less), I decided to cost it 2.

Thoughts? Note, you cannot target the enemy hero. Thankfully. =P

"But trust me, you'll really feel it in the morning."

 

Here is my idea for the week! I like the Ragers, I don't play a deck without them! But seriously, this could be a nice weapon in Elemental Mage. I'll return any feedback.

Quote from Zukuu >>

Btw, how does Immune interact with Twisting Nether and Mass Dispel?

Quote from linkblade91>>

 That's fair. Thank you for that clarification. Here we are:

Is eight mana a good amount? High enough to avoid early-game cheese, but not so high as-to prevent any other card from being played that turn.

Quote from Turkeybag >>

Here's my first idea:

 

This seems pretty weak to me. Since it doesn't have Charge, your opponent will be able to take advantage of the second effect first, meaning they easily could kill it on their next turn and not take damage which in that sense is like a 4 mana 3/4 with a drawback which is really terrible.
