    Hero

    Everyone- I would like to introduce to Afreda, Master of the Fairies and their magic. She is the wisest of the Fae and counsels Diana the Queen of the Faeries. She holds all the real power. 

    Fairy magic could just about destroy the world if it were unhindered. Afreda has the tough job of managing these magic powers whist still being a threat to be feared.

    The Fae themselves are quite annoying creatures, and Afreda's job is to make sure they don't go to far. The Fae are there to be pestilences as that is in their nature.

    Hero Power

    (Note: This art may not make sense until you look very closely at the Fairies in the background).

    The Hero Power is something we have not seen at all in the game of Hearthstone- prevention of Hero Powers. This is just built to be a minor annoyance, but appears quite good as you can prevent your opponent from ever using their hero power. But think of it this way: You are losing a massive mana battle. You spend two mana so the opponent cannot spend two mana. You activate this on turn two and the Warrior cannot Armor Up, so instead they drop an Armorsmith. You actually come out quite negatively in that exchange. 

    However, it is also incredibly powerful. Imagine playing against a Hunter that can't activate his Hero Power after turn 6. They will have a tougher time winning. Imagine having a Priest close to dead and preventing them from using their hero power.

    Ultimately, it comes down to this: If you are ahead in the game, this is amazing. If you are behind, it is terrible. Therefore, it makes the most sense to play tempo decks with the Fairy class and thus I have made most of the cards so.

    Card Example #1:

    Pester

    This card may look bad, but it can take it X/1's for no mana. The real use is for putting it on something you want to take damage, like an Acolyte of Pain. All in all, it is very flavorful with cool art and has numerous interesting applications for being a basic card. (Notice it says each turn).

    Pixie Dust

    This is quite the powerful spell- a 7 mana spell that takes control of a minion? Seems good. At random? Not so much. But this is absurdly powerful- allowing you to steal a late game control opponent's threat? Amazing! Against Face Hunterino? Not as good. Ultimately, it is still quite flavorful as it Pixie Dust is subject to whichever way the wind blows, and because it is limited a bit by Afreda.

    Brainwashed Ogre

    So much flavor. The fairy magic does tamper a bit with the Ogre- but not so much that there is a huge difference to him, and certainly not enough to gain complete control over him.

    His ability creates interesting gameplay choices too. Basically you point him at something and he does whatever the fug he wants. He doesn't always have to hit taunts, and if the coast is clear (you're playing a tempo deck) you should hit face. He is subject to your whims and you are completely subject to his.

     

    Overall, the class is filled with unseen synergies, funny and flavorful cards, and provides the basis for an interesting control deck, a very strong tempo deck, and possibly an aggro deck. This class is versatile and with potential.

    Copying your opponents finishers won't work. The problem is that your opponent only deploys the finishers when you are close to dead. spending a card to put 3 copies into your deck does not help you win the game. Taking 3 Grommashes and putting them into your deck won't ever happen because when your opponent casts Grommash, you likely die that turn. Rag kills you in two or 3 turns. The chance you draw a Rag that you copied in those three turns is low, unless you have already drawn a ridiculous amount of cards. Even copying Tirion is pointless, because you either deal with it quickly and win, or it killing you quickly whi choose does not give you enough time to utilize gang up.
