I mentioned sometime back that I thought it would've been cool to have made Hero cards for the set Azeroth Untold, and had thought long on how each class could embody one of the Seven Deadly Sins with ease. I thought about how there are nine classes total when there are only seven defined sins that I can think of. So I went ahead and created a set of Hero cards for A.U. based around the Seven Deadly Sins. I even wrote a story and explanation for the set as well. Hope you enjoy.
"The Sha have taken over Azeroth behind the scenes. To Gul'Dan, they crept, empowering him with abilities far beyond his advanced comprehension. They asked only one thing of him... to turn many of the Heroes of Azeroth against themselves. With many Heroes having become the embodiment of sin, it was Thrall the Shaman that would fight for Azeroth's freedom from Gul'Dan and the Sha. Will our Hero prevail?"
Explanation for the Hero card costs:
Gul'Dan is the cheapest of these Hero cards. The reason each card is so cheap is due to the lowest cost Hero card that was produced with Knights of the Frozen Throne. The justification for cheap cards is that if Thrall's Hero Card is 5 mana, it means that turn 4/5 is the earliest a Hero can show their darker colors. Because I equate the Hero cards with an evil presence, I took the 5 mana Thrall Hero as an example for how early a Hero can be corrupted by the deadly sin that their Hero card in this set embodies the most. Gul'Dan got a 4 mana Hero card because the Sha speak to Gul'Dan before the other Heroes are corrupted by their own sin. At 5 mana, the darkness starts pouring out of our Heroes. At 6 mana, Thrall and Azeroth are aware of the darkness in these Heroes, and has been outfitted with the ability to fight each of them. Think of the costs of these cards as the ordering of comic book panels; A series of events unfolding in a particular order. Also, I made each Hero Power a Passive one because the Hero Power is a second part of that Heroes ability, and I wanted the abilities to be constant so that gameplay is drastically altered further.
I don't even play mill. I applied understanding of "Power for a Price" to the set, considering the heroes are sold great power against their will. I wanted to incorporate suffering at the hands of your most infernal sin. This set is a result of such a methodical design.
Garrosh is the coolest looking card I've seen in my life. Great job! I like all of your cards here.
Thanks. I tried hard getting each card right. I was going to make it so once a character is injured, they take 1 damage at the end of each turn. But then I thought about how punished Aggro/Zoo would be. Didn't stop me from creating Valeera the way I did though. Glad you enjoy.
The art and the idea for these is really amazing, tough some of them seem a little bit really powerful.
I always opt for an insane route when making cards. Happens naturally. I admit, Thrall's Hero Power is a bit weak in comparison to some of the other Hero Powers. Considering Thrall is the only Hero kept from tainting, and the Hero of the set, I wanted a much more tame Hero Power that suggests he has a good heart. Because Thrall is not crippled by the insane power of mortal sin, he keeps from affecting others in an adverse manner. While a lot of it is strong, I like creating cards that serve better as cards you could study and take inspiration from. I really enjoy making insane cards, cards that are impactful and thematic in design. Glad you enjoy the set.
