 Alright, I've come up with some paint swatches card variants! Different art, different stats, slightly different buff: the "control" on the left, a 6/8 in the middle, and a 7/8 with +3/+3 on the right. I wouldn't necessarily combine the 7/8 stats with the +3/+3; I'm just presenting them all at once, to see what "pick-and-mix" would be most appropriate, you know? I like the idea of bumping it up to +3/+3 because its reliant on popping Divine Shields (not always gonna happen readily), and to make it more in line with Blood Knight. It's like Blood Knight, but C'Thun gets all of the buffs hehe

At the moment, I'm inclined to make it a 6/7 or 6/8 +3/+3 with the art on the right.

Not too sure about the stats, seems to be of comparable power level (or lack thereof) to Captured Jormungar. Mostly for Arena, obviously. Might bump it it 4/10, but I like how it can tangle with The Lich King or Ironbark Protector and just barely live to tell the tale. Would love to hear your thoughts...

I like it. I think its stats are good considering that Captured Jormungar isn't good as-is. It might be slightly overpowered if it can bust 8-drops like you mention, but I guess the 1-mana difference isn't that huge a gap and it can only bust taunts so easily, so I say leave it.

I think if you can, you should find different art though. It sucks how hard it is to find good art of the Warcraft III units but the old CG model will probably lose you votes. Maybe some kind of fanart of it, or artwork of a similar creature? I would try the art links in the Primer thread (pinned in this section), and if you don't find anything maybe try deviantART, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc. Make sure you credit artists though. =P

Alright, some new ideas! Your thoughts?

Quote from Teknician >>

Here are a few more ideas:

Northshore Captain is meant to encourage late-game pirate decks. Ice Barrens Prowler is meant to be one of those Druid beasts that also satisfies the 5-Attack requirement. Streetwise Protector is like Bonemare except either better or worse.

Venomtail Scorpid: That I think should be your submission. This is the most exciting card for me being a Hunter main. Though, for it's effect I think it should be 4/7 instead of 4/8.

Alright I'll be going to bed soon, and I'm leaning towards thr 6/6. Now one more time, just to spite @Zukuu, looking for feedback on which witch to use.

Quote from AxletheBeast >>

Retooled my cards and scrapped one based on previous advice. Thanks guys, because apparently simple designs are not my strong suit. I think I'm still way too used to Magic's card design where I could get away with trippy designs more even on the commons. The most complex one is still Lost Voyager but I think he's probably a lot closer to Obsidian Destroyer's level of complexity now.

(I couldn't resist using the art for Greedy Necrolyte again. It's not obvious it's Gul'dan, right? =P )

 I'm actually fond of the idea of giving it more attack than health, given that this is, what, a knight who's given up the cause and joined C'Thun? (After all, the Paladins were supposed to be all-good in Whispers of the Old Gods, right?)

It would also be a slight balancing force to give it the stats you're thinking (and the +3/+3) but to have higher attack than health, as high health is usually stronger. I think the +3/+3 is like, horribly immense, but not necessarily unjustifiable. =P It's actually stronger than Blood Knight by nature, IMO, as it doesn't eat the divine shields so you don't lose their value, and while it still goes on a big minion that's easily removed, you get the battlecry value either way. So I recommend a 7/6 or 8/6 with the +3/+3 effect. The art on the right is definitely the right call though.

 Hmm...I like the idea of him having higher Attack. I like it a lot, actually. 8/6 +3/+3 with the art on the right is now where I currently stand! And yeah, that's the flavor of him: Whisper of the Old Gods is a reckoning/final hour type of scenario, and this guy has basically jumped ship to the winning side lol. Divine Shields being popped is kind of akin to him converting more people/further abandoning the Light.

As for your cards:

1. Greedy Necrolyte: Gul'dan? I don't see the resemblance :^) I like the idea, and of the three I find the least fault with him (spoiler alert) so I'd say go with this one.
2. Hero of the Bastion: I honestly can't decide if I like the card, or I hate it. On the surface he seems fine, but he's arguably one of the hardest "soft" Taunts I've ever seen, and he would be disgusting in the hands of the Priest.
3. Lost Voyager: The thing is, Obsidian Destroyer creates a token that needs no other explanation; it's a 1/1 with Taunt, and that's all. Lost Crew is a complex token, by comparison, and I don't think that's okay for a Common.

For some reason I thought Venomtail Scorpid was a Rogue card. Yeah as a Hunter card this should definitely be your submission Cogito.

It's 1am okay? xP

 One is black, and one is green lmao

Okay, here are my current best ideas:

Gnome Smuggler summons Barrels, which, of course, contain 1/3 Hidden Gnomes. Note that Karazhan Librarian adds the spell Silence to your hand. Hearthcards auto-bolds that.

It's decided. I'll YOLO this one and go with Megagma Rager, but I strongly hesitate about which art to use. I have found 3 at the moment:

The card:

Also, just in case, the rest of my cards that fit the theme here.

@ Linkblade: as to your converted knight, I like the art on Puresteel Paladin (MtG) but it may be too wide for the frame: link. 

Quote from TomBTomB >>

Thanks to both of you, ThisOtherGuyTox and Linkblade 91. Yes, that art is pretty bad. Best WoW picture of a Chimaera I managed to find was this one, which allows the two heads in one frame to go with the double damage mechanic. Have never been so aware of how small the artframe on Hearthstone cards is before. 

@ Linkblade: as to your converted knight, I like the art on Puresteel Paladin (MtG) but it may be too wide for the frame: link. 

@ ThisOtherGuy: I actually like Giant Sandbeast. Solid Arena pick for hunter that fits in with Ram Wrangler and related cards. Flavorwise, you may think about dropping 'beast' from the name since it isn't itself a beast (Sand Stomper is the first thing that came to my mind but there are better names for sure).

So is there a set time you're gonna post your card? Because you know, I want to post mine right under yours :D
