Stranglethorn Vale; perhaps one of the most dangerous places in Azeroth, populated by ferocious beasts, bloodthirsty trolls and dangerous plant-life. Most people simply avoid it, push it back in their mind, but something is brewing inside of the Vale, causing spawling vines to grow, and grow and grow! The vale is expanding, and with it, the war drums of the Gurubashi sound, an army of troll warriors gathering to slowly, but surely take control of all of Azeroth. Will you have what it takes to brave the perilous jungle, and take down this threat once and for all?

Team up with Marcus Jonathan, a stormwind general leading a strike force into the jungle, help the gnomeregan flame squad repel the encroaching vines, find the source of the growth, then enter the city of Zul'Guruub, fighting through Jin'do's evil priests to get to Jin'do himself, then de-throne the chieftain to put an end to this mess.

Jin'do The Hexxer

Jin'do is a tricky and dirty fighter, loving to curse his enemies with terrible afflictions. He carries many transformation and curse cards in his deck, such as Hex, Polymorph and Corruption, but his best trick is his Shadow Hex, which curses a minion permanently. As long as the minion is cursed, it will summon a 2/2 Shadow of Jin'do for the opponent at the start of your opponent's turn. In a sadistic way, Jin'do forces you to trade away, or sacrifice your own minions, lest they build up his army of shadows. Jin'do isn't a blockhead either, as he will always use his hero power last, and will most likely target the highest health minion on your board. This problem is compounded in heroic mode, where his shadows are 4/4 instead.

After you defeat Jin'do, heed his dying words. "You ain't seen da last of me!"

Of course, another way you could avoid Jin'do's tricky hexes is to hide your minions from him. After all, the glades of the jungle are quite thick, obscuring the view of even the most trained hunters; introducing Ambush!

This makes trading very tricky for your opponent, as they'll have to deduce what secrets might lie underneath the underbrush. Cards that can only played conditionally can't work against an unseen foe (Such as Cabal Shadow Priest) but they can be attacked and spells can be cast on them just fine, with the minion being revealed as soon as the attack or spell goes through. This should confuse Jin'do well enough, he'll have no idea who to hex! I bet he'll just choose randomly!

All this and more in the Heart of the Vale:

Once upon a time, there was a curious girl named Alice, who loved to travel around the world and experience strange adventures. One day, she received news that her best friend, The Hatter, was abducted by a weird-looking Dragon sent by the evil Red Queen. Anxious and eager to rescue her friend, Alice has decided to make a dangerous trip into the Queen's Castle. Would you escort Alice throughout her adventure?

The Hatter has been corrupted by the Red Queen. In order to save Hatter, you have to defeat her. Red Queen encounter has 3 phases. In the first phase, she'll summon her soldiers to protect her. In the second phase, she starts to get angrier and the fight becomes more difficult as she summons bigger minions. In the final phase, her head is about to explode. What will happen?

Final Boss:

New Cards:

Plot for the Outland

In this adventure, the player is sent on a quest into the heart of Coilfang Reservoir to stop Lady Vashj from draining the Zangarmarsh and taking control of the Outland. In order to achieve this, you must first pass through the Slave Pens of the broken Draenei, freeing them from the tyranny of their Naga overlords as you go, wade through the treacherous flora and fauna of The Underbog, lay siege to The Steamvault - stopping Lady Vashj's plan to rule the Outland in the process - and finally take up arms against the criminal mastermind herself in Serpentshrine Cavern - just watch out for her hoards of minions trying to take you down first.
Even after you defeat all of her dastardly minions the Lady herself is no easy victory, equipped with her deadly bow Frostfathom and with the ability to resurrect her fallen Naga allies, you will be struggling to stay alive let alone kill her.

The fight starts slow, as Lady Vashj will mostly be controlling your board with her weapon Frostfathom. Things really start to get interesting as she starts playing her mid-game threats - mostly consisting of highly efficient Naga Warriors. Heading into the late game Lady Vashj has a number of spells such as Frost Nova and Blizzard to keep your board frozen as she continues to wear you down with the various Naga she resurrects with her hero power.
You must overcome this onslaught of Naga and vanquish Lady Vashj once and for all, and while you're at it, why not earn some of the vast variety of loot that Coilfang Reservoir has to offer?

The Cards

The Plot for the Outland adventure will introduce two new keywords as well as a new minion type - the Broken. This tribal tag describes the race of corrupted draenai who inhabit the Outland and are introduced with the new legendary card Farseer Nobundo.

Farseer Nobundo is very strong for his mana cost however the new keyword Despair reduces a minions attack by one at the start of the controlling players turn, so while he is strong as an early game presence to fight for the board, after a few turns his attack will be completely depleted. This makes him weak to spells such as Mirror Image that can stall until Nobundo exhausts his attack value.

The other mechanic introduced in this adventure is closely related to Despair. Aura will activate at the start of your turn in the same way that Despair does, but only for the amount of turns contained in the brackets. This makes Start the Forges a very strong warrior card for keeping your weapon active and scaling into the larger threats your opponent begins to play, but can be countered by weapon removal and other cards in the adventure that interact with the Aura keyword.

Finally the Underbog Mushroom is a card in the same vein as Dragon Egg, where a lot of value can be generated by repeatedly pinging or buffing it and could help reduce the amount of agro in the meta game, especially when used by decks such as control mage, paladin, priest and druid. However in many cases Underbog Mushroom could just be a dead draw and decks would have to be carefully built to make best use of the effect.

EDIT: Adjusted spacing

For some, school was the best time of their lives. For others, it was the worst. Well prepare for the worst of times, as we go back, not just to school, but to Scholomance! Dust off your textbooks and sharpen your sacrificial daggers and get ready to join your new classmates. As the new transfer student, you'll have to survive your first week, make friends and pass your classes. But it's not all schoolwork, you'll have time for rest and reanimation. Head out into the Plaguelands on a field trip, or loiter around the rival Scarlet Crusade Academey, but watch out -

The jockish Scarlet Crusade HATE nerds necromancers, and are more bullies than rivals to Scholomance. Every year, the Scarlet Crusade dominates Scholomance in the field of sports, taking the spotlight in the annual Light's Hope Chapel Dance. But this year, Scholomance has you. Can you rise up and change the status quo? Make a name for yourself in the Plaguelands, help Scholomance win the big game at Stratholme against the Scarlet Crusade, get crowned Plagueland King at the Light's Hope Dance and get the girl. Now is your time, seize the dead and the day, and remember - no running in the Scarlet Halls!

The Big Boss

In school, your greatest enemy isn't the bullies, the homework or the ravenous plague bears, it's time. From the beginning to the end, whether you're sneaking in the Scarlet Monastery or participating in the big game at Stratholme, the Light's Hope Dance is all anybody in the Plaguelands will be thinking about throughout the school year. Necromancer to Scarlet Crusader, the big dance is what it's all building up to, and getting crowned King of the Plaguelands is the highest honor - which has always gone to a Scarlet Crusader, until now.

Yes, you have been crowned Plagueland King!

But the vote for Queen is a tie! A three way tie! As the Plagueland King, YOU get to cast the tie breaking vote!

To cast your vote, you are given a choice of 3 cards and allowed to pick only 1, much like a Discover effect. The card you pick is crowned Plageuland Queen and instantly summoned. You lose the fight if you or your Queen loses all their health. The candidates can be found below:

This fight is about time. And this dance, although one night, will feel like an eternity for some. Just when you think you've got it, the Dance will play one of it's many spells, turning back time, resetting cards, health and more. Can you keep up with the back and forth, the rhythm of the dance floor?

The Hero Power, Backup, Off the Wall, brings a new dancer on the floor, bringing about a random minion from their deck onto the battlefield for only 2 mana. While not used much at first, this can pull some big dancers and players out. This dance is going all night long and there's no stop to who might show up.

Example Minions and spells can be found below.

Note: Inner Fire and Divine Strength cannot be played, as they are instantly dispelled, regardless of the target.

Example Cards

The theme of this Adventure is going back to school, and it shows in the mechanics. Jocks, big minions with Taunt, Divine Shield and other avoidance abilities round out Scarlet Crusade themed cards, while the nerdy necromancers of Scholomance are kind of small and frail, BUT they have abilities that grow and activate over time, bringing a synergy of keeping these weaker minions safe so they can get more powerful as time goes by.

While there is no new Keyword, there is a new mechanic in the form of "Rituals". These are your homework, what you're learning at your time in Scholomance. These are spells that cost a chunk of mana, and task you with managing your remaining mana that turn to get effects. Extending your mana or making spells or minions cheaper will get the most out of a Ritual, as you'll get beneficial effects scaled on how many minions, spells or other mana costing actions you do that turn (varies by card).

Edits: Resized and reorganized some stuff.

Additional Edits: More resizing. Sorry.

(Return of) The Thunder King

This is my submission for the adventure competition. I chose Throne of Thunder because I had made a rudimentary version of this adventure a really long time ago (around the time of The Grand Tournament I think) and I finally have an excuse to finish it. It’s been a very long time since I have done any card creation, so hopefully I won’t be too rusty about balance and such. I also have never played WoW, so I hope my lore research is accurate. One other thing to note is generally I think the adventures in actual Hearthstone are too easy, and I would prefer with I had to work more to kill bosses and earn my cards. Thus, the difficulty level of this adventure’s normal mode is somewhat harder than usual (not too much though), although heroic difficulty is the same.

Storyline:

After years of slumber, the land of Pandaria is facing the reawakening of an old enemy. Lei-Shen the Thunder King, an ambitious Mogu lord, has begun a new conquest hoping to dominate the once-prosperous lands below. Once a holy site for the Mogu of old, Thundering Mountain was captured by Lei-Shen and his followers. Lei-Shen, corrupted by his lust for power, killed the Titanic Watcher Ra-Den who guarded the mountain, seizing his claim to the Throne of Thunder, and in the process gaining power over the elemental forces of wind and storm. Previously dead, Lei-Shen has now found an unlikely ally -- the Zandalari trolls -- who have resurrected him and may hold the key to reestablishing him as the despot of Pandaria. Taran Zhu, the Pandaren leader of the Shado-Pan Assault, has recruited you to help stop Lei-Shen in his conquest, ultimately defeating Lei-Shen himself once and for all.

Mechanics Theme:

This expansion, in terms of mechanics, will have two themes. First, the mechanic of enrage will be explored much more fully than in current Hearthstone (example: Zandalari Dinomancer, see below). Not only is this mechanic underdeveloped, but it also fits the character of the violent Mogu and Troll races. In addition, the idea of dual-sided effects will be explored. These mechanics are basically buffs which can be cast on both allies and enemies, which have a positive effect and negative effect which are approximately equal in balance. Alternatively, these mechanics could be effects that could be helpful or harmful depending on other conditions (example: Soul Extractor, see below).

The Big Bad Boss: Lei-Shen, the Thunder King

The board starts with seven conduits filling Lei-Shen’s board. Lei-Shen’s starting hero power “empowers” a conduit, which will create a powerful ongoing effect, which will last for 3 turns. Afterwards, Lei-Shen will have to choose a new conduit. You can kill the conduits, preventing Lei-Shen from utilizing their effects, but this will make room for Lei-Shen to play his powerful (OP) minions. I’m not sure about all the conduit effects, but here are some examples:

In addition, when Lei-Shen goes down to 20 health or below, he will "supercharge" the conduits.  Because Lei-Shen has no starting armor to hint at this health threshold, the player won't know what will happen until it is too late. Supercharging makes all of the existing conduits immune for a turn, and Lei-Shen gains a lot of armor -- 2 per living conduit, and 1 per conduit destroyed previously. This happens again at 10 health, but this time Lei-Shen gains 1 armor per living conduit and 2 armor per conduit destroyed. The armor totals will be significantly more in heroic mode.

Lei-Shen also has multiple unique cards in his deck that interact with his conduits:

The Bonus Big Bad Boss: Ra-Den

The titanforged creation who ruled over Thundering Mountain before Lei-Shen, Ra-Den, will be represented as a legendary, but there will also be a bonus heroic only fight.

Sample Cards:

Explanations:

You and your friends have been gathering in his inn for a while to play Hearhstone - a card game the Inkeeper developed based on his costumers. After so much time just watching people play his game and after he gets bored of teaching adventures how to play it, He challenges you for a battle! But some RULES do not apply on him, he made the game and he will use it on his favor, using 4-Mana 7/7s and tricking you is just a glance of his powers in his domain. But before facing him you must defeat all his "not as polite" costumers!

Are you able to defeat everyone in the inn and face him?

DIALOGUE:

The Innkeeper - Haha! So you have defeat them all? Let's see if you can handle me! I will tell you that I play to win!  
You - You're no match for me (Morgl would say <Mrghllghghllghg!>)
The Innkeeper - Such a talker, let's see how you handle this! (You go second, but he gets The Coin)
You - Hey! That Coin is mine!
The Innkeeper - Stop whinning and let's battle! You will see that some Rules are about to change!
*Game begins*
TURN 1: He summons 2 copies of Cheating Goblin and says "I am so lucky they were in my starting hand!"
TURN 2: He summons Deep Sea Explorer and says "LEGENDARY"
TURN 3: He plays The Coin and Set The Table saying "See? The Rules changed already!"
TURN 4: He plays Rordon Gamsay and says "All this time in the Inn and you never sent the chef your regards!"

Some of the cards in his deck:

NEW MECHANIC: RULE

This adventure adds a new game mechanic: Rule! When a card with Rule is played, the effect it apply will last the whole game unless they are removed. For example, the card Set The Table that The Innkeeper plays on turn 3 has the effect "Rule: Your minions cost (1) less". So his minions will cost (1) less for the whole game.

EXAMPLE CARDS:

Deep in the desert sands of Tanaris, the Caverns of Time have been opened for any adventurer brave enough to take the perilous journey. Inside, the Bronze Dragonflight and the Timewalkers guard the Hourglass of Time, protecting the future (and the past) of Azeroth. The guardians of time have discovered that the Infinite Dragonflight is attempting to rewrite history, and destroy the Hourglass of Time. It is up to you, brave adventurer, to stop the Infinite Dragons from distorting history and find the leader of these mysterious new enemies.

The Caverns of Time is a 5 wing adventure, with 60 new collectible cards. Each class will receive 2 common, 2 rare, and 1 epic card, in addition to 15 neutral cards, including 5 legendaries. There are 16 new bosses, with 3 cards earned at the end of each one, as well as 3 given as a reward for beating the adventure, as well as 9 Class Challenges.

At the climax of the conflict, Nozdormu sends you to the End of Time, where you must defeat Murozond, Lord of The Infinite and Leader of the Infinite Dragonflight.

Having taken over The Hourglass in an alternate timeline, he uses it to use powerful cards from previous boss fights that would surely destroy any adventurer. Luckily, tampering with The Hourglass has twisted reality, causing some of his cards to backfire. Nozdormu will also send you his blessings to help empower your minions, spells, and Hero Power. Even then, it will be a difficult fight, and on Heroic it will be even more challenging, as the Hourglass will switch to Hero Powers from previous Heroic bosses.

In addition to an epic new adventure, there are 50 new cards to gain from travelling in the past.

Several new spells have been added that activate twice. These spells will only target minions, but will but will be cheaper, and there effects double from spell damage, reinforcing control decks to counteract some of the stickier minions being playing in the aggressive meta.

In addition, your travels through the past have given you cards that interact with time, as many new minions will have effects at the start or end of your turn. Dragons, demons, and undead are all at your disposal.

Of course, an awesome boss must have an awesome effect. While The Lord of The Infinite does not make as big of an impact as Deathwing, he allows control decks to last longer against other control decks, and if you can repeat his effect after playing him, you can draw the war against any opponent until the End of Time! (Or until the start of the 90th turn).

Adventure: A dangerous Path

This adventure will have you the player following the footsteps of Arthas from Warcraft 3. So it would include fights based on most the missions from warcraft 3, starting off fighting against the Red Orcs, then fighting off against the start of the scourge and killing Kel'thuzad, then to strathholme, to outland, finally getting frostmourne and killing Mal'Ganis. this might not be the most traditional of Adventures, since it isn't like Blackrock or Nax where it takes place ina  single location, but it follows a character moreso. I feel like there are just enough major encounters in this campaign to make a good adventure. without further ado:

The Big Bad: Mal'Ganis

we all know him as the Warlock legendary, now it's time we get to know him as your worst nightmare. This fight is not the final one, this instead is the one where you are fighting him in Strathholme. he will also be the final fight, I just thought this would be a cool fight to showcase the adventure. I created a few cards that this boss will use to synergize  with his hero power, I created this hero power before playing the Silverware Golem, and now it seems a little too similar, but I still think it's thematic enough to carry the fight.

 The Cards

Now for the part that most people continue to use after the last boss is dead: the cards

THis card was one I wanted to make for thematic reasons, I was humming and hahing over what to make it, I knew a 2 cost would make it aweful, but a one drop would be too powerful potentially, as a 0/1 it makes it much more of a gamble on the players part, though it still I think has some versitility, for a rogue it could work best with conceal, being a 1 drop it could come out before VanCleef. maybe I am just bad at card design

I like playing with fire. this was going to be a 5 drop, then I decided to make it mroe expensive. it looks powerful, then I remmebr that stoneskin gargoyle was completely unplayed, and I feel it will be fine. the only completely broken combo is stormwind, since he would make it so it never gets weaker, but no one plays stormwind champion, so I think it is fine.

And here he is: the final legendary of the expansion! his destroy effect is based on how he got frostmourne, and of course the effect is based on the fact that when he took up the blade he gained the ability to raise dead. as far as balance you just have to look at tirion to see it's not too powerful, you can silence Arthas, you can ooze the weapon, or yuo can just ignore the 7/7 and kill your oponent first. as for the hero power, I am thinking of either making it like old bane of Doom where it selects froma  small pool of some weaker minions. or it can be like new Bane of doom,in which case it could summon even kel'thuzad or something else large that comes up. I know undead isn't a tag, but neither is Horde warrior, but Power of the horde works fine, I figure this is the smae

I hope you all liked this, thank you for encouraging me to get creative

BattleOn,

Loop Dragonblade

The Wizard of Amoz

Welcome, lost traveler, to the wonderful world of Amoz! Shame about your house, but that sort of thing happens from time to time. In fact, a girl came around here not that long ago... whatever happened to her anyways?

Well, never mind that. I'm sure you'd like to get home again. Sadly, The Wicked Witch of the West has corrupted our land. Her magic has turned our scarecrows haywire crazy, our machines ravenous for our hearts, and our animals frightened and defensive. Why, even our Lollipop Guild has turned into a den of evil!

If you wish to get home, I'm certain the Wizard could help you. But the journey will be dangerous. To reach his sanctuary in the Emerald City, you must make your way through this twisted land. Think you're up to it? Well then, get going, adventurer! To start your quest, just follow the Yellow Brick Road...

The Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba

Oh! That chill! The wickedest of all evils, Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West, must be vanquished! But how does one stop such cruel power?

Elphaba is loaded with magical power. With her persistent Spell Damage, she launches many powerful Mage spells, such as Fireball and Flamestrike. Elphaba is in a strong position to control the board with magic, while her loyal army of Winged Primates (see card examples) rush down your face with Windfury. And what's that... she's invincible too!? What hope do you have of stopping such power?

 Card Examples

This card set is focused on a few basic principals: Spell Damage matters, Beasts are neat, and moving minions off the board and back to your hand (or deck). Peppered in are some powerful control tools, a few surprise Mechs, and hopefully a few new archetypes for each class. Here's a glimpse at three of the cards in the set.
