Andarius The Damned - 'Shadow' Tokens

Flavor: Azzinoth is actually deathly afraid of hospitals. that why he lets the imps rehab it for him.

this reverses how secrets function and makes it so they can only activate during that player's turn.  so basically, nearly all of paladin's secrets are fine and mage can still use duplicate.  hunter though...

good for mill druid or spell damage druid

If Blizzard really wants the Murloc Shaman to be a thing...here is what you need. 

It can add to your hand not just mage's secrets, but also those of other classes (Hunter and Paladin).

Flavor text: Only the strongest can ride this magnificent specimen. Everyone else should take a hike.

Hint: Explosive Trap.

The idea here is that Mathias as a master spy has turned one of your opponents minions against him/her.  A little spycraft.

Card was somewhat hard to balance.  Mind Control is a 10 mana card, and this is essentially Mind Control plus a 2cc minion for 4 mana. 

A couple of things to justifiy the cost

- You don't get to choose the minion affected.  Usually with Mind Control you are taking over a minion that is hard to deal with.  Usually a 5+ mana guy.  This will take a random guy, much less impressive.
- You might never see the ability function.  This is a real downside.  The minion selected may be the bottom card of your opponent's deck and never see play.  That turns this card into a 3/2 for 4.

- Your opponent will still get the benefit (or drawback) of any Battlecry that his minion produced.

- The card I used to estimate power with was Iron Juggernaut.  That's a legendary class minion that is 6/5 for 6 and gives a 10 cost effect in much the same manner.  I'd guess they are only giving that pseudo Pyroblast a cost of 1 to 1.5 there.  I'm giving my pseudo Mind Control a cost of 2.   And I think it's more likely you get full value out of that Pyroblast as you would usually face a Pyroblast anyway where you probably wouldn't use a Mind Control on your opponent's Ironbeak Owl. 

Therefore, I think the card is balanced.  Maybe a bit on the weak side compared to Iron Juggernaut.  (You can't counter Iron Juggernaut's ability, where you can silence or sheep Malthias to stop it)  On the plus side it's a little cheaper to play at 4cc. 

Unlike most of my submissions I think this has a cool factor to it.  It's not a booring card.  It's not overpowered.  I think the flavor is pretty good.  Might be my best one yet.  I hope you like it.

The guys below Turalyon can't muster for battle like he does.

early control hunter gets some goods, face hunter becomes less mindless.
