The Inquisitor

The Inquisitor goes beyond fighting in the name of the Light. Everyone is a heretic, and no one is to be trusted. No one is pure. Nothing is sacred. And as the Destroyer, ALL WILL BURN!

(excuse the edginess)

The Inquisitor focusses on having hard removal to ensure enemy minions are completely annihilated, trying to secure the board as an advantage. Hatred must be tempered by discipline — it encourages summoning minions through methods like cost manipulation, which is also there to maintain a balance with the Hero Power as well as other cards with punishments. With destroying stuff, at points preferably the undead, there is also much interaction with Deathrattles, be it reacting to enemy Deathrattles, or finding combos with friendly Deathrattles.

As an Inquisitor, there is also the class Keyword of Bound , where enemy minions can be bound to deal with several threats as the class only has soft AoE. Additionally, friendly minions may come bound as a downside, so while you may have a strong board, stronger minions that come together may be easier for your opponent to remove.

Hope you enjoy the class!

The Undead

Lore:

Exhume: The idea of this hero power is to provide a powerful tempo tool (If you don't have a play, hit the button and get one) while also encouraging the use of very selective cards in a combo or control archetype. It also provides much needed reload with the class Keyword, Transfuse, and other synergistic cards below.

Transfuse is certainly a powerful effect, but a pricey one. It would trigger a Discover effect when you play a Transfuse card, and you could either take the original effect or the buffed one. You will need to be extremely choosy about which Transfuse effects you put in your deck, and when to activate them. In a Tempo or Aggro deck, the destroyed cards might not matter as much, but it certainly is powerful enough to include in Control and Combo decks as well.

And finally, to the cards!

Kael'thas Sunstrider: One of the most iconic and defining columns of a class's unique identity is their Classic legendary. Since the three themes of the class ( Deathrattle , Deck/Hand manipulation and Stat Change) I decided to present Stat Change because Deathrattle hasn't been introduced yet and Deck/Hand manipulation is more complex. Kael'thas is a powerful Control tool which would be impossible to run in an Undead Aggro or Tempo deck because of the reliance on a large board. It immediately represents 8/8 in stats, along with a strong debuff and the potential to destroy the entire enemy board over time. Kael'thas demands removal but has enough immediate effects to be a powerful inclusion in the Undead classes slower decks.

Ancient Ritual: An interesting interaction with your Hero Power that is critical in Undead combo decks. Chaining this into more Ancient Ritual off your Hero Power allows for very specific results from such a powerful effect. Even ignoring the huge combo potential, it adds a card to your hand (which is worth something) and allows a Control deck to run early game cards without losing HP value late-game.

Bonemage: A very all-around card that will likely see play in Aggro, Tempo and Combo decks alike. It summons tokens, a valuable resource in the board-centric buffs and aggro tools to Undead's fast decks. It also provides a way to get a little extra damage out of your burst spells, enabling even more powerful combo turns with Exhume.

Grieving Comrade: An obvious Aggro card, this minion can be combined with token generators and Deathrattle effects for massive face damage. Though the effect is lost on death, the solid statline and synergy with Undead Deathrattle make this card an auto-include in almost every fast or even quicker Tempo lists in the class.

Cave Golem: A card that chains nicely with Bonemage, it takes advantage of the Transfuse effect to provide you with a strong 5 drop in an Undead Tempo deck, making a 13-stat minion for just 5 mana. It also provides the class with Elemental synergy and encourages a more Midrange-esque archetype as opposed to a polarized Aggro or Control flavour for the class.

These cards are intended to support 4 main archetypes; Wide Aggro, Transfuse Tempo, Exhume Combo and Standard Control. I hope you enjoyed reading and throw my class a vote. Cheers!

Edit: Minor bolding and capitalization.

Hey, Deathwing! I heard you like killing things, which is great, because I like dead things. I think we can be bezzies. Allow me to introduce myself, I am.....

The Lich

Details:

The Lich looks to dominate their opponent, taking his time, increasing their own power while summoning powerful allies as well as increasing the limits of its health pool with it's Hero Power. However, the Lich can also look to outpace their opponent, summoning large minions or making high tempo plays, delaying the drawback for a later turn using Mana cost manipulation. However, no class is perfect, and the Lich is no exception. It struggles with wide boards, and mana manipulation can come back to bite it on later turns.

The Lich comes bringing it's own mechanic to the table, which is:

Decay is a way of introducing damage over time to Hearthstone. Some of the Lich's minions come with it already, while the Lich possesses several ways to spread this to uninfected minions, both enemy and friend.

Class Mechanics

Mana Manipulation - Increasing and decreasing the cost of cards in your hand. Play a High tempo play now, and pay later, or take it slow and build up for staggering turns later.

Healing - The Lich is no Priest, and this shows, as most healing comes with a cost, whether it be at the cost of your own minions, Your tempo, or simply offering to pay for it later.

Spread the Plague - Through the Decay mechanic, the Lich can summon the Scourge's plague, causing minions to simply fall apart, turn after turn.

Example Cards

Start the Plague ( Basic ) - One of the Lich's basic cards. Can be used to trigger friendly minions effects, such as Acolyte of Pain, enable removal, or simply put an enemy minion on a time limit.

Essence Drain ( Classic ) - An example of the Lich's healing capabilities. A potent single target removal, potentially bolstered by earlier use of the Hero Power, restoring it's Health well past the standard 30.

N'Zoth's Dread Captain ( WotOG ) - The example of the Mana Manipulation aspect of the Lich's class. For this one, an initial negative is turned into a net positive effect once the deathrattle triggers. In the mean time, the Lich must wait, or play the cards at increased costs. However, if this minion is gained through N'Zoth or Recruit, it is a force to be reckoned with.

Fungal Abomination ( JtU ) - New world, new monsters. This is an example of how the Decay effect can be turned into a positive by the right minion, dealing damage repeatedly as it slowly rots.

Sapphiron ( TotLK )- As you can see, the Lich already has friends in high places, and Arthas has trusted it with the mighty Sapphiron. Freezing the board upon entry, this mighty dragon asks your opponent the question. Should you remove this, or wait til you can do so without losing your board?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you deem it worthy of your vote.

So, why should Odyn be Deathwing's Friendwing? Well, I think we can agree that a lot of Deathwing's issues come from daddy issues, and who else is the closest to a father than one of the Titan's watchers? Odyn thought the dragonflights were a mistake would love to bond with his new adoptive son Deathwing.

The Keeper's playstyle revolves around careful planning to make the most of your cards. The Keeper plays like a chessmaster, making sure they're moves ahead of their opponent, every action has a purpose, and setting up their next move as they go. The Fate and Destiny keywords represent this playstyle in the purest form, rewarding players for carefully picking their play order to harness the unique bonuses. Should you cast your spell now, or save it to trigger your Destiny effect? Only the best players of the Keeper are going to know the answer to that question. The keeper also utilizes a range of secrets, mysteries of the titans protected by the Keeper and their followers. Harnessing the power of creation, the Keeper duplicates their own cards, unleashing armies of constructs or a torrent of ancient magic. Power of Creation represents this in its purest form.

"Ah, what a wonderful competition. So many fresh and healthy meals just sitting there for the taking! I could care less over that stupid dragon and those running this competition but with so many entering the competition no one will notice a few of the losers disappearing so suddenly...

~Ambrose Ingrum"

The Vampire focuses on maintaining a certain health amount by stealing it from their victims while also leading a swarm of bats that help in their search for a meal. Focuses on a couple aspects such as Lifesteal (not the keyword entirely but more so taking life and giving it to yourself), Being below/above a certain health amount which affects how several cards will act, the new keyword Consume, and the spawning of a token in Blood Bats which many cards will spawn/interact with ( No example cards because a token is needed but this is a significant feature of the class ). As a side note Consume works like Finja, the Flying Star .

Explanations of the example cards and more detail on the class as a whole.

I hope you enjoyed my class! If you did make sure to give it vote by liking it so it can advance!

LONER CLASS

"Sometimes, the best way to improve yourself, is to help another."

- A-094 Mk.III (translated from binary)

INTRODUCING OUR DEAR LITTLE FRIEND, L-001!

Because the best way to ease an angry dragon is to have it befriend a cute, helpless robot.

The LONER Class is characterized by a slow, control, combo -based play style with opportunities for mind games and counter-play. The Hero power baits the opponent into spending their resources while simultaneously giving the Loner player opportunities to draw the appropriate responses. Expect games with the Loner to last many turns while they also create many puzzling board and fatigue situations. HOWEVER, just because the class archetype is conducive to a control play style, there will be many different tools for aggressive and midrange-oriented players as well.

The above two cards showcase two of the core aspects of the Loner. Many minions and spells are oriented around controlling the board, while other cards may focus on bolstering your deck for the hyper-late stages of the game. Several other synergistic control cards are shown below:

As you can see, the Loner class is all about reliable, consistent response to the enemy board state. By using cards with Preserve , weakening the enemy board state, and then drawing weapons or Preserved cards, the Loner forces the opponent to carefully choose the next most optimal play. The opponent will then simultaneously have to attempt to limit the Loner's opportunity to respond and abuse any acts of over-aggression.

Please up-vote this Class Submission! I am very excited to bring many new and clever additions to the archetype!

The Adventurer

New Mechanic:

This class have 3 new card types with Outfit keyword:

Armor: You equip a minion with it, the minion get the text of armor and the life. But when he take damage to overlap the armor, it break and the minion lose the text.

Weapon: It is similar a normal weapon, you equip the minion, he get the extra attack and the text of weapon, when he attack a number equal to durability of the weapon, it's break and the minion loses the extra attack.

Accessory: When you equip the minion with it, he increase the attack and life permanently also get the text.

Ex:

Cards:

Curse:

Celebrimbor Rings:

About the class:

Well, the adventurer meet new peoples and find new loot.

He have a range of possibilities of grow up in the board, creating a true minion raidboss with Outfit or making a big army and buffing it also with Outfit.

Basically, the adventurer don't use spells for control, he prefer minions, and the minions will be enough.

But of course than big stats need a counterbalanced and because this, the battlecry or curses can punish you.

Make a OTK Combo and Control deck with adventurer. (Or aggressive if you are a cancer.)

The Traveller

The Traveller is a class based on harnessing your memories and the power of the places you have visited, summoning beasts of alien worlds or making your opponent what an eruption feels like. Roaming through Azeroth and beyond, these explorers have witnessed nearly everything, but their thirst for knowledge and adventure lingers on.

Imraan is an ethereal, but not a normal one. Where other members of his race seek vengeance against Dimensius for destroying their world, he sees this new reality as an opportunity. With a basic knowledge of portal and nature magic, he has travelled from K'aresh to Outland and Azeroth, catalloguing each new landmark or race he encounters. He then uses this knowledge in battle if needed, making enemies shiver with Winterspring's blizzards or drown in Vashj'ir depths. He has even caught a glimpse of the Shadowlands, a realm usually for the dead... or worse.
