I'm struggling to get the wording correct(within 4 rows of text maximum). I think the effect I'm going for is obvious, but it feels like it adds more confusion then clarity. Instead of posting my whole 40 card set, here are 3. Now is there other ways to formulate some of the cards or are they correct as they are now?
tl;dr I'm not looking for balance advice, just rule format. I'm looking for "how would you word it so it works?".
OMG this is too OP all cards should cost at least 3 more and ... naaah just kidding.
So the way the game works is that you die whenever your life total becomes 0 or less (C'thun stop shooting when hit lethal), so the effect on Vindicator will never happen, just take Ice block text : "When your hero takes fatal damage, prevent it and become Immune this turn." and replace "Become Immune" by "Gain Divine Shield"
That said the way the interaction works, I'd put it into a secret the same way Noble Sacrifice is, "When your hero takes fatal damage, prevent it and summon Vindicator Maraad" so it would summon him from anywhere "wherever it is" and on the vindicator I'd give him the text "Your hero has divine shield" But it would not be clear if the hero loses the divine shield when hit or not, so I'd probably put it in a deathrattle and giving Maraad Taunt.
What do you think ?
It's the line of though I had as well, though the way I worded it cluttered the whole card with around 5-6 lines of text. Which is like a sin when creating cards for Hearthstone (hehe).
I like the taunt version, but my mind is set to make it work more or less as it does now.. which makes knots in my head when I try to figure out how to make it so. I'll look into what you said and see if there is something there.
Making a set for Paladin with low stat damage emigration minions, like Paladin once were and will be one day again. :)
Excellent KeMT, cheers.
edit: could not go the deathrattle path since it makes the card much to alike ice block. Want it to be Divine Shield for you hero, which is just the next damage source and not immune. Nothing to strong or fancy, but a cool mechanic nevertheless.
If I type it all out, it becomes to many lines of text. Sound way more powerful than it would be as well :P. Like so:
