How's this idea? Based off Cyber Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh!

 

Any better way to put this keyword? I don't think Alone will cut it, as if there are enemy minions while you are the only friendly minion, you are not alone: there are hostile forces.

 Hmm maybe Tenacious? Determined? Steadfast?

Here is my idea. Feedback would be nice but I've already submitted.

The general idea is that it promotes a more strategic and thought-provoking game, where you have to build your deck carefully and be mana-efficient in game to ensure the full value out of your cards. It functions as an extension to Battlecry (like Combo and Choose One) but lets you 'decide' the power of the effect. The Hero Power helps in getting the amount of mana you want left unspent.

CLARIFICATIONS:

-X can still take the value of 0, but you won't get the FULL value of the card (or in Ethereal Harbinger's case, no value).

-Note that you can still spend the unspent mana that you have left over. The effect only wants the amount of them you have left, but doesn't spend them.

Ethereal Harbinger - A nice easy example of Expend. Compares to Avenging Wrath and C'Thun. On 10 unspent mana crystals you can unleash a 7 damage split onslaught. This card only targets minions so once all enemy minion's health has dropped to 0, the effect stops. Promotes board control.

High-Seas Harrier - With 0 mana left over, the discovered pirate will still get Taunt but not any buff. Pirate support with a neat effect. Does not count as having a Pirate itself when you play it (you must have another pirate).

Xuen, The White Tiger - This one may be a bit tricky to understand. The +2X on the attack means that it will double the value of (X) here. The resummon effect is treated as follows. If X is 0, the minion will be resummoned immediately on death. If X is 1, the minion will be summoned at the start of your next turn. If X is 2, the minion will be summoned at the start of your following turn after that and so on. If you target an enemy minion, they will get the resummoned minion. Interesting card that may see some experimenting. Compares with Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate. The higher the value of X, the longer you have to wait for it to come back.

Decided to go with Braveheart:

Basically, for Braveheart, your opponent needs a minion and, if it is in a spell or weapon, you need to control NO minions, or if it is in a minion, it has to be the only minion there.

Is this better?

Aight, I'll get down to business right away:

     (For clarification: you get the card the first second the condition is met)

So, the idea here is that you get a certain cards only under certain circumstances BUT that this doesn't thin the deck (as opposed to some other ideas), as that would create insane 25- card decks. You get a Saboteur, 'cause theme ('cause your desired reserves don't show), and because it's a mildly decent card that's not TOO punishing BUT doesn't see play in constructed by itself (why would you play X if you could play a reserve card and get it anyway).

I'd love to get some feedback as to which cards you like the best, because there's just SO MUCH stuff you can do with this mechanic. The first two represent the rather obvious counter strategy. The second two demonstrate how the mechanic can be used to reward players with a tight game plan. The last two demonstrate the more extreme (some would say fun) angle, to be used in a more win-condition kinda sense.

 

Aight, that's. I'd appreciate if ya could pick your three (or less I guess) favourites.

PS: If any admins read this, I think I accidentally posted this in the submission topic first. I deleted it, ehr... Is that alright?

So I did some rethinking and I came up with a different idea. This is more based on WoW and the Warcraft TCG game, but with a Hearthstone twist. Anyway here's the keyword:

And the cards:

  

Thoughts?

 

I decided to make overbudgeted minions/buffs that will have the drawback of "After this minion attacks deal damage to it equal to its attack".
The art is some little guy with a greatsword that is obviously too big for him. So when he strikes something he is very likely to injure himself in the process.

The art for buff is a huge greatsword that you can't possibly weild safely unless you are Gruul.

I am having trouble coming up with a name for the keyword. I'd like some suggestions.

Any thoughts on balancing? Overall I think this would be a really cool keyword for Hearthstone. Let me know what you guys think!

Keyword: Timewarp: (X) The minion returns to the field at the beginning of your (X) turn.

Spirit Tiger: When he dies, he will resummon at the start of your third turn. So if he dies on your Turn 3, he will be summoned at the beginning of your Turn 6. He gets a lot of value as the game progresses, but wont effect the game too drastically because of his small body.

Martial Arts Trainee: The turn you play him, he will timewarp off the field and be summoned two turns later. So if you play him turn 1, he will be summoned at the beginning of your Turn 3. He is an investment card that also works well with combo pieces. I think he might be a little too weak.

Bosch Verigan: When you play him, he will timewarp a minion on the field, which will then be summoned at the start of your second turn after playing him. His effect is like a two turn sap that returns the minion to the field without your opponent paying the mana to summon the minion again. Hes a great tempo play that can get you board control before the minion returns to the field. He can also timewarp a friendly minion, if that's relevant.

Just to let you know, when working on submissions the box that shows cards is different than the posting one. I made sure to put my cards in a way that all three were in one row, and then when I posted my response the cards were not lined up. I think a lot of the submissions are doing this on accident. This is because the place where you type your initial response is actually larger than the place where your final result is placed, meaning that even if all three cards are in one row where you are creating your post they may not be when it actually saves your response. I don't know how to word it properly, sorry if that leads to confusion

tl;dr: it looks like they fit and then they don't

Edit: Accidentally submitted post into discussion thread, not submission thread. Deleting because of large size

If I made cards with a keyword that meant "When you draw this minion" would it be okay for a submission, since there are already two cards that have that effect so it's not exactly original?

To maybe demonstrate what I'm trying to say-

This is what shows up when we are attempting to write our reply:

And this is what shows up in the end result after we click post reply

So basically we think we're adhering to the rules when we accidentally aren't. While this can be fixed by just having the cards be smaller, it's difficult to know that right away.

did it again...

Also, I edited mine so now it's the proper dimensions =)

For those posting in the future, or editing right now, image proportions 200x272 seems to be a good size for getting three in a single line both in the text box and the actual forum post.

First off, I'm sorry if something similar was already done, I don't have the time to go through the entire thread right now, so if someone knows, feel free to warn me; thanks.

Concerned about balance, so any feedback is very welcome:

Keyword

Lathy: Well, if you make the effect trigger if the minion dies, that's just Deathrattle with another name.

AUzg: It's a unique concept, but there's a critical question involved: does the countdown start on the turn you play it? Because at 8 mana per card, unless you have 1 or 2 mana cards (depending on if you have 9 or 10 mana), you only get one turn to play with these cards, two with Ogrimmar and Ironforge. And if you're spending turn 8 to essentially pass, in the hopes of sitting up a huge swing on the next turn, that can almost be a game losing turn, right there.

Specifically, look at Darnassus vs Fandral Staghelm. For half the mana, you get a 3/5 body, so you can more easily play other cards to go along with it, and, while realistically he'll only be on the board for a turn, if that, before the opponent kills him, if they CAN'T remove him, he has the opportunity to just go completely off. But it's really the 4 mana for a 1-turn swing vs 8 mana for a 1-turn swing that makes one so much better than the other.

I like the concept, it just seems incredibly greedy. I honestly think the payoffs are worth it, this is just not the kind of game where you can afford to pass Turn 8 (7 with the coin) to set up for that kind of a swing.
