Check out my Custom Classes (Scribe, Alchemist, and Battlemage)!
My two favourites:
Echo: Really neat mechanic, IMO shown off best by Multipython - it's a simple yet well designed card that just shows off the keyword nicely. Although the other cards are nice too, I really like the idea that the card alone is understatted/doesn't really do anything, and then the Echo effect is quite strong to balance it out. But overall a nice and simple mechanic that I could definitely see in the game.
Meditate: Another nice and simple mechanic that I think would fit well into the actual game. Careful Learner is a decent card but I feel the other two are pretty useless/don't show off the mechanic very well. I'd be really interested in Meditate cards where you have to make a real decision whether to attack or not; where the effect is on the same power level (if not a higher one to encourage a slower meta). Careful Learner does just seems like another Mana Tide Totem, and although the versatility is nice, you'd rarely attack especially since it's only two damage. A lot of potential for this mechanic though, I really like it.
I'm not going to translate this, but if any of you know some Chinese you'll know what I mean by uploading this screenshot
THERE IS NO GAME.
My favourite one this time is Echo. It's awesome, promotes running duplicates (a legendary with Echo would be interesting, now that I think about it), and simple. Multiplython is the coolest name I've seen for a long while.
Other than that, no other keywords really stand out. They're all good, but nothing I like quite as much.
Also, Unearth is totally the best keyword here.
#TotallyNotBiasedIt'sNotLikeItsMyOneOrAnything.Why Rogue is my favourite class:
My submission for this week's card design competition.
Ton of good submissions. I gonna vote for a lot of things this week.
Think Insight might be my top pick because its something I never really considered before. The the cards submitted showcase it well. I like that it creates an interesting dynamic in deck building where you are including cards in pods of 2-3.
My other votes; Dissuade makes sense. Last Stand great ability but I dont like it being locked to 7. However its paired great card submissions. Time Traveler might be my favorite card of the week. Share is interesting but could use more dynamic application. I think it should be considered a disadvantage in mana evaluation. Meditate has potential too but the submitted cards seem under cost to me. They are basically under cost versions of cards that already exist.
Deception deserves a mention too. It would be a ton of fun for a player like me but I think its way to complex for the target audience of hearthstone.
Deception: I like it. I just think text of the 1/4 is long.
Defend: It's simple but efficient.
Request: It's an imitation of Noxious concept in his mekkatorque... shouldn't be here. You just change Quest to Request...
Insight: Even if we want to create double class deck, it won't be possible and would be too messy :/
Dissuade: Good. I don't know what else to say.
Echo: That's cool especially in rogue decks.
X Belief: I don't understand?
Unearth: Good. I don't know what else to say.
Mana shield: It a nice idea but if you lose all you mana you won't be able to play next turn :/
Vortex: For me the best on this set. (I hate face mage :D and I think some spells are too strong and have no counter for now.)
Meditate: Already see some effect-like in other games but I think it would be nice on hearthstone.
Stronghold: An aura ! Should be nice on hearthstone.
Last Stand: Very dangerous. Fel priestress has not enough stats for his last stand penalty I think. Idea is good but need some change.
Ambush: Very cool, just need more card to put minions on board from the deck. In an other side lot of people would complain about rng I think (if you don't play a deck with ambush in all your minions) ^^
Share: Nice idea. Give some bad card to your opponent and keep the best for you :P
Infiltrate: Very good too. Force opponent to destroy his own minions, what a nasty effect :D
Infuse: That's cool. A great way to deal with unspent mana and make late game more interesting when you have 10 mana and don't have anything to play.
A lot of awesome effects ! 90% of them should be added to hearthstone. That would give hearthstone a new play style !
Love the tribes.
@telefonkabel:
Deception: In fact it should be only for some classes like secrets are. It's true that this is confusing and we have to know ll the cards. That's why I'm seen more a thing like this: There is a mark on the card that say this is a deception card, but you don't know what card is under it. Like this, as the secrets do, we can anticipate the transformation. I think there is some work to do but the idea is great and innovative, that's why I like it !
Insight: tri-class from gadgetzan do it better I think :s
X Belief: Still don't understand :D I need an example to understand if you can^^ "after that they are more sensitive (in good or bad) to its effects." Does that mean for exemple, a buff +1/+1 give +2/+2 instead?
Mana shield: My mistake. I just though about our turn. That's a really great effect indeed ! Thx for rectification !
Vortex: I really can't like the spells that go face... Ok perhaps it's too restrictive. But at least make vortex like this: "Vortex: Spells can't target opponent hero". It would allow nice trade for spells without taking face damage. That's a good compromise? :D
Love the tribes.
Why Rogue is my favourite class:
My submission for this week's card design competition.
Thelesis copied not only my suggested mechanic (functionally), but also the name. It is a shame that e made it to the finals. You can find proof in this week's discussion.
My Entry for this week's Card Design Competition - Season 8.16:

Oof, TONS of voters this week! O_O
Congrats to the winner, and congrats to everybody in general, I think this was a really awesome week!

I really, really wish I went with my first instinct. This was exactly the same keyword I created, but didn't post :P ugh, what a punch to the gut.
EDIT: Obviously, a congratulations is in place!
The new competition theme is up! We hope you all enjoy. =)
