Flavor text: As they say, "what the eye can't see, the Frostbolt can't hit."


Hey guys, what do you guys think of this one? First, balancewise my inspiration was, obviously, Doomsayer mainly becacuse both have a strong and unique effect that disrupt the minions or spells played in someway and thus must be dealt quickly. If timed right, this card could even be compared to Loatheb, in the sense that could postpone a spell reliant combo for one or two turns until this card is destroyed. It has its drawnbacks too, if it is played against minion focused decks, it can be easily played around and because of 0 attack, it can't naturally trade.

Even though I think the idea is clear, I dunno if the texting could be done in any other way. I based myself on the texts from both Millhouse Manastorm and Servant of Yogg-Saron.  So, what are the thoughts? I'm eager for this week and good luck for everyone! :)

 

 This card was my idea for this week (posted on page 2), but @Dxiled posted that it didn't have any reason to be a Kabal card. Even though I think it makes sense, a spellcaster that wants to control the opponent's spells, I agree it isn't the most straightforward card for a faction, so I came with this idea: 

Flavor: Now that the Kabal suggested an increase to 31% of GDP on portal upkeep, we can now stabilize them...kinda.


The flavor and card are obviously based on Unstable Portal. The idea is that since they have some kind of arcane background, the Kabal can control these portals better than ever. This focuses on the factions "Discover a class card" mechanic while also giving it some stability (no pun intended). So what do you guys think of this one? Is it well balanced?

Edit: In case the first card is prefered, @ShadowsOfSense suggested a rewording to: Enemy spells cost (0), and their targets are chosen randomly, which is indeed best suited for the card. Thanks, mate! :)

 

 

So, what do you guys think now? Does it solve the balance problem mentioned by @Dxiled? I won't lose the reference to Unstable Portal, while making the card playable without making it a way too op combos enabler.

 I would love some feedback here before submitting: making cards cost 3 less is way too OP, even if it a class limited card that has more chance to pull crap cards than to pull that combo needed pieces? thanks in advance!

 

 

After this fix, i think you made it lessplayable. The original thought was better with the flavor being more than clear, as well as enabling 2 more classes to use the unstable portal in a very refreshing way. Why not use a wording such as: "Add a random Mage, Priest and Warlock minion to your deck. They cost (3) less." ? It has a drawback of shuffling random minions but hey, it adds 3 minions and imho it sticks to this expansions' theme.

Here's my idea:

Token:

I think this is pretty good for a few reasons. Firstly, more minions are always good. As for the attack debuff, this is good for all three classes. Paladin already has it. Warrior can use it to prevent effective trading and it could maybe help Enrage Warrior. Finally, Hunter can use it to guarantee a Stampeding Kodo target thereby giving them a beast. Of course, all three can use it to guarantee a Kodo target, as Paladin already does but I feel Hunter would benefit the most out of Kodo. .

I would definitely love to see a card like this added to the game.  I really hope that Blizzard pays attention to these competitions because cards like yours would make fantastic additions to the game.  Oh, and thanks for reminding me about the Discussion topic.  Forgot about it lol.

First of all, one of my favorite cards so far in terms of flavor. I think the synergy with Stampeding Kodo is a great boon for Hunters. However, I do not like the idea of having more Humility effects in HS. I would suggest it simply to give an Attack reduction instead of a flat "Set it to 1" effect. e.g. "Give a minion -2 Attack. Summon two 1/1 Grimey Goon Enforcers."

 Maybe at 1/1 so it could be easily disposed of with with any AOE spell. The effect is potentially huge so the risk involved also has to be.

Hi, I'm new here, and I want to try this, I hope you like the card!

There's also a quote function so people know what you're replying to hahaha. But again, thanks for the kind words. Looks like it's doing well vote wise so phew, hopefully I get another chance at the Finals.

Refining my Lotus Deathclaw. To make this card stat stay at 4/6 I explore more drawback, here is the card:

Old version :

 With the new drawback your opponent can play around the cleave effect by only fill their board with less than three minions. What do you think? Is this balance enough?

Should this be a Legendary instead?

Should this cost (3) Mana instead and have its Health increased?

As for your cards, Prepare for a Fight is a pretty cool idea for a card with the buffing, but I feel like it might be better if every instance gave +1/+1. Makes it less random. Lotus Trainer seems a bit weak when compared to a Jungle Panther (and pre-nerf Master of Disguise). Yes it can occasionally give Stealth multiple times, but with 2 Health on a turn 3 (or 5 when combined with Inspire), it's not that likely to live on your next turn. Also, it's not very clear if it can give Stealth to itself or not. I think Grimestreet Blacksmith is fine, it's just a bit boring. Since it is technically a class card, I feel maybe it could be a 4/5.

 Hm, thanks for the feedback. I did originally intend it to give it in increments of +1/+1, but I felt that the other wording (the one I posted) was more elegant. As for Lotus Trainer, what if it was a 2 mana 3/2? As for the 'weak statline because it was meant to be buffed' argument, I don't really think it makes sense. It's like saying a vanilla 2 mana 2/2 isn't UP because it's supposed to be run in a Goons Deck, but I could be missing something here.

I really liked Prepare for a Fight :), looks like a card i would put into my decks. I think the the other one is just too broken to work (Lotus Trainer+Emperor Thaurissan GG).

Do you guys have any ideas to make the text sound better or to make the card more good in general ? (It's my first card so i probally did a lot of mistakes, but have patience with me xD )
