Elise Questchaser

Ghoulfriend

Glad, I made it at the top. Thanks to all people who gave me feedback!

@Wailor

Yeah, you had nice design. If you would be on other page, I think you could make it.

Congrats to all the finalists! There are some really cool cards here that I wish could be added to Hearthstone proper.

This is my third time in the final, so here's hoping third time's a charm! But regardless, may the best card win. :)

Elise is the best 

Ghoulfriend has the best flavour

Weird. Came to vote and the poll already had "Elise Questchaser" marked and the button was "Change Vote" instead of just "Vote" - like I had already voted. Except I hadn't. Also, I didn't vote for Elise. Tbh she seems overpowered and not really interesting.

Love the flavour on the C'Thun cards - voted for those! Also the Ogre Dinomagi, which is hilarious :-) And finally the Self-Upgrading Bot, which is cool.

Fertile Bunny should be 1/1 base stats. Also, it's missing the "Beast" tag. Lovely concept, but didn't make the cut for me for those reasons.

I see C'Thun, I vote C'Thun

I don't want to hurt you, but half of finalists are from first page, so if to would be on second or third page, you probably would have less chance to get into finals

Congats to all the finalists!

Well, i agree with some people that Elise is OP, but she has interesting idea behind her and in this competition cool design>cool balance (as i believe). Anyway, i wish good luck to everybody!

Big text mistake from me. The current version of Elise Questchaser's Hero Power wouldn't behave as intended (as it has been mention by several of you). The original design intention wasn't to have the Hero Power being refreshed every time you would use it. The text doesn't reflect this mechanic, even if the design intention did for some of you. My bad. I'm usually very careful - but not this time. Lesson learned.

Even with this corrected, the card still raises questions in term of balancing. I clearly pushed the button more on the "Powerful" side than the "Trash" side to let the main concept breath: tech your decks with Quests from Un'Goro, There are some clear upsides when we consider Quest rewards power level. I just wanted to mention several downsides from this card, that are clearly not dramatic individually but can become annoying once united: 1) You lose your Hero Power, which supports your class general archetype ; 2) You don't know which Quest you will get (Sir Finley Mrrgglton was played in few deck archetypes) which means that you can't build a deck that will surely synergize with Elise Questchaser ; 3) You can't play any other Hero card for the next 2-3 turns at least, unless you won't benefit the free Quest completion form the last Hero Power.

In the end: 5 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 17 Mana spent within at least 4 turns in exchange of 5 Armor + 3 cards + 1 random Quest reward. There are several possibilities to reduce this cost (Hello Waterboy), which I didn't have time to take into consideration for the rushed design process on this card. I would be very curious to know how you would tweak/nerf this card. Thanks for the feedback!

That is a know bug that has been there forever, dont look for any conspiracy theories there :D

Anyway, GL to all finalists, pretty cool cards! :)

Congratulations to teknician; the results were very close! The next theme is ready.
