Probably slightly too strong, but maybe it's not even interesting enough to work out correctly.

Dammit guys, none of you agree on which of my cards are best.

I can't post all of my ideas so I added/updated cards to my 6.18 gallery (there's 26 cards, some of them are duplicates). Pls tell me which is best.

"The Great Escape" is hilarious; I think you should go with that one.

(Edit: Moving my cards to their own post, to make it easier)

Assuming I scrap my Tauren Horncaller, Volcanic Elemental is what I have left. I'm throwing in an upgraded version of the Horncaller, specifically making it Baine Bloodhoof:

Volcanic Elemental, again, is my Russian-nesting-doll add-on to the Steam Surger.

Baine Bloodhoof summons Tauren Warriors, only now they come in pre-Enraged, with said Enrage effect doubled in effectiveness. The end result is that he pumps out 8/2 minions (with Taunt). Probably too good of an effect combined with his current statline, but by turn-9 minions with 2-health can be taken out fairly readily with cards like Primordial Drake, Consecration and Flamestrike. Should the Warriors come in un-Enraged? Baine is basically a Warrior card, but I kept him Neutral to match his dad (Cairne Bloodhoof), and to avoid the "Garrosh killed my father" awkwardness. At 9-mana, he comes right after Grommash Hellscream and/or Rotface in an Enrage/Self-Ping deck.

My newest addition, (Insert Name Here) is a boost to the new Freeze Shaman archetype. Cryostasis boosts your minions, but they cannot function while Frozen. This minion would allow them to attack unimpeded, while also adding two copies to your hand. Maybe it should be knocked down to one copy. Ignore the card's messiness; I'll clean it up when I figure out who'll go on it. don't know of any renown Freeze-Shamans, so if anyone can help me there that would be great.

Volcanic Elemental: the ability is fine, but the statline is not. You are gettin an elemental, that will most likely provide 2dmg spell, that will give u another elemental, that alone is for elemental mage a pretty big deal to trigger synergies over and over and to play those cheap cards to fill your curve. This should be like 6/6 or 7/6 at best.

Baine Bloodhoof: i dont think u fixed it very well, baine is still an existing minion, even tho its a token. Also why does it say "inflict damage" instead of "deal damage"? O.o The ability is fine i guess, tho kinda overly complicated, which makes it not as interesting.

Shaman Freeze Card: again, the card is fine, tho when ur trying to push the archetype with one single card, the card text feels crowded and not very inspiring.
My cards in a spoiler, if u have any thoughts ;-)

I like Ferocious Grizzly the most, but there's no way that's okay being 4-mana, given its potential for continuous free Swipes. Also, one could argue you don't need to say "Swipe" at all: "Whenever this attacks, deal 1 damage to all other enemies." I'm not a fan of the others; they're too simple for me, but I am clearly in the wrong here seeing as how you consistently get more votes than I do.

Volcanic Elemental is a 7-mana 8/7 because Steam Surger is a 5-mana 5/4; I frankly added three to everything and left it at that. A small gag on my part, considering he's just an add-on to the card-chain Steam Surger provides. And Baine says "inflict" because I wasn't paying attention. It's a mistake, nothing more.

Rather bummed, currently. My cards are too dull or too much, although I found a character for the Freeze card:

And before anyone goes "That's Kel'Thuzad!", that is 100% not Kel'Thuzad. That is actually Amnennar the Coldbringer; they do not look the same, and I spent a fair amount of time finding a picture of Amnennar.

Also, anyone know how to make sure text in Hearthcards isn't bolded? It auto-bolds Silence when you type it in, but I don't want it to be (since I'm referring to the card, not the keyword).

I have some cheap workarounds for you! I couldn't figure out a nice coded way to do it, but I can offer you two solutions specific to your problem.

Option 1) Use the Homoglyph: Replace the 'L' in Silence with a capital 'i'. This means it will no longer bold, like so: SiIence. Slight con, this is mildly noticeable. You might not know what's wrong, but you know something is.

Option 2) Use the Homoglyph - Russian Edition: Look at this fancy letter right here - 'е'. That right there is a Cyrillic letter, which will handily break the auto-bolding with the upside of looking no different. From Silence to Silencе. Hooray! See the Spoiler for an example using this method.

That's awesome, thanks! I never would have thought of using a Cyrillic letter. Also, what did you think about my argument for not nerfing Rogue Treant?

Okay, so here's a cool new idea that I don't know how balanced it is. Originally it had the same trigger as Sacred Trial, but I changed it to try to be more original.

Doomsayer

Should probably be "in a turn" instead of "this turn", but oh well.

Ferocious Grizzly: well the idea is, i dont want this minion to attack (and get damaged in the attack), so thats why there is "cast Swipe instead", so saying "Whenever this attacks, deal 1 damage to all other enemies." wouldnt do what i intend it to. And on your opponents turn its just a 4/4 minion, so that seams pretty easy to kill in most situations. I dont rly think i can go lower with HP, since Magnataur Alpha is virtually unplayable cause its so easy to kill him. I mean this is better than that, since it doesnt actually get damaged when it attacks, but doesnt do 5 dmg to 3 minions potentially, "just" swipes them.

Amnennar: If u have to say that its not KelThuzad, i think u can already guess what 99% ppl will think of this card. Yup, that is a KelThuzad with a different name. Im sorry, but i dont think ppl would vote for him due to that.

Btw i see u included everything in the battlecry now, is it intentionally supposed to work for the rest of the game? Cause i think it is implied like that as it is currently worded. Which i think is fine, just if ur aware or not :)

Also i think u can leave out "" around the Cryostasis, since your wording is more similar to Rhonin, when there is "coppies" in its text and that (i guess?) changes the wording.

/edit: hmm actually it is KelThuzad, so ur f*** anyway.

Actually, updated convention seems to demonstrate that spells get quotes, while minions do not. Look at Steam Surger. I'm on the verge of junking all of my cards in frustration, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Edit: Well fuck me. I stand by the fact that that is not Kel'Thuzad, because Kel does not have horns like that, but whatever.

Fair enough on the Grizzly function; I wasn't thinking of it in that way.

I think Sinti's right. The convention seems to be different when you add one card and more than one card to your hand. When you add one card, like in Steam Surger, you say "Add a 'X' to your hand". When you add more than one, like Rhonin, you say "Add Y copies of X to your hand." Since you are adding two copies, don't use quotes.

Would like some opinions on my card:

I'm pretty set on the concept of the card, but I would like some feedback on the text/wording of the card because I'm not entirely certain it's right. Another thing I was struggling with a bit was finding the right class. Hunter seems suitable because it's always actively playing the minion game and trading small stuff into the opponent's big stuff, but warlock might also be a suitable candidate (for zoo). It would technically also work in paladin, but I feel like the theme isn't fitting for that class.

Thoughts? (will give feedback on other cards in a moment).

Just a quick note, there's already a card in the game called Feeding Time, so you should change the name.

I like Doomedguard, but it's extremely on-the-nose with Doomguard's statline. I know thatsthejoke.jpg, but it doesn't really need to be.

This weapon has intentional anti synergy with Backstab for balance reasons and also flavor. You can slit one enemie's throat then stab another in the back. Fun stuff. Also its a 2 cost weapon which is hard to come by, and is also playable in multiple existing archetypes.

Give a thumbs up if you like it, or give suggestions. Much appreciated :)

Star Striker is pretty cool, especially for use Malygos Druid and combos well with Gadgetzan Auctioneer.

I really like Doomedguard, just based on flavor alone. I don't know if this was intentional, but it also has an interesting interaction with Lord Jaraxxus (as in, DON'T PLAY THIS WITH LORD JARAXXUS).

Trick or Treat has amazing flavor, but I don't know why you specifically chose Wild Growth as the Treat.

I'd say Doomedguard is my favorite.

I already know you're thinking of it, so here are my current cards:

Void Harbinger is an old card I had for when I made this prompt, because I actually had this exact idea for a prompt at one point. It's also the card I used for my Hearthcards tutorial thread on making green and red numbers. Mostly just a proof of concept more than anything else.

I do realize that Servant of Blackwing kinda powercreeps Tomb Pillager. But #DragonRogue am I right?

The End is a bit in balancing progress.

How about something like this? Too subtle?

You could even play Glacial Mysteries on turn-10 along with this minion.

#DragonRogue indeed. My clear favorite. Also, I wouldn't worry too much about Tomb Pillager given that it is a Wild card, and as far as Blizzard is concerned, "lol Wild".

@ihascorm That design is actually great, roll with that

@Cogito Everyone and their dad is doing a Moonfire one I can bet you, that and personally I don't like the idea of three Moonfires with Malygos. I like the design and Joke behind Doomedguard, but I think it may just be a straight Improvement on Doomguard, if only because it still deals the same amount of damage and doesn't risk you losing your Soulfires. Trick Or Treat I thought I'd like, because I love Cursed! style cards, but yet another ramp option for druid rubs me the wrong way, even with it being two sided. That, and it'd trigger Gadgetzan Auctioneer three times AND get an extra draw. I dunno, I like the designs of the last two but still have difficulty seeing them in the game.

Bumping an old idea and a new idea.

As you've said before, apart from synergy with Mana Wyrm and mage quest, you could make this 10m 7/7 "Battlecry: Put one of each Secret from your deck into the battlefield." It's hard to use collectible tokens unless they're complicated enough to make up for you not just making it an uncollectible token.

Oh I know; it's just a joke about Mysterious Challenger's OP-ness, transferring to Secret Mage.
