You know guys, im so happy plagiarism isnt allowed and that people cant take your ideas.       [SARCASM ALERT]

If you look a while back i posted this idea about Quest and Reward and right now the latest submission is... you guessed it Quest and Reward. I mean i wasnt going to use it anyway but still what if I was? The reason i wasnt going to use it is that there was a similar idea posted before so I might have been disqualified since that idea was first. While the Hero Power and Hero in our classes are different the Icon on the Hero Power is virtually the same. The KeyWord would be identical if he/she didnt split it up into 2 keyword boxxes. Im just saying I could have atleast been asked...

1. You're not the only one who's thought up Quest and Reward.
2. An idea cannot be copyrighted, not something like this anyway. You want to make sure no one takes your ideas? Don't post them anywhere. Keep it secret until you want to reveal it.

If all their cards is the same as your cards, then sure. Plagiarism, if even that. A very vague idea that's been thought up before by a LOT of others? Plagiarism? Hardly.

 Its not even about the idea im more annoyed at the fact that this is supposed to be a place where you DO share your ideas and where you are supposed to be feedback. If everyone comes in here with the fear of having their idea taken this place would fail. 

Also someone a while back was having trouble finding an idea and had the decsency not to use ideas used and clearly said something along the lines of "The rules are preety restricting all the obvious ideas were already taken. Going to have to think some more". Again i dont rememebrt his exact words but you get the point.

As i said i wasnt going to use the idea anyway. I posted one but probably going to take it down as I thought of some juicy shiet.

Alright, well, considering all the feedback I got thought my hero power is a bit over-powered, I decided to change it up a slight bit and make it give the token as a weapon you need to play instead instead. The older version just equipped it.

So now you pay 3 mana for a 1/1 weapon that silences, as opposed to two. Is that more in line with the general hero power levels?

Well, technically... mathematically speaking, yes, this is balanced. You take damage, and you pay 3 mana for a silence, which is fairly in line with the nerfed Ironbeak.

But having Silence on-demand... man, that is really, really good. And sort of frustrating to play against. Even if you do take quite a bit of damage from whacking minions, having a Silence always ready doesn't allow your opponent to play Hearthstone.

(RIP, just noticed I double posted. Sorry.)

Quote from CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkey >>

This is tough. I have absolutely NO idea so far, that's the first time it happens to me.

So I decided to do a complete overhaul on my class, as although fun, it didn't feel like it had a lot of skill, despite the fact that the class is completely unpredicatable. So I resolved to use that to my advantage and try to give it a stronger Identity.

So without much ado, I present the 

PILLAGER CLASS

COMING THROUGH! No one dare cross the path of the courageous (more reckless) ruler of the seas of Azeroth, Captain Immo! He and his motley crew travel around the lands in his ship, the Nemesis, with the sole purpose of finding and collecting all the precious treasure his crew can fit in their chests, so that they can be known throughout the lands as the richest and most dangerous ship around. Armed with many dangerous allies (and enraged enemies he stole from) with unique abilities on both Nemesis and Azeroth, Immo will fight to the death... on a slow day. Mostly he likes to use his charms (and a few bribes) to convince his enemies to join the winning side. Steal precious resources, find new allies, and protect you and your treasure for those who seek to destroy it, Adventure never stops for the Nemesis, so the choice is up to you: Join, or Die.

Mechanic

Mechanic Explained:

A pretty straightforward mechanic, the card that you play determines what card you copy. So if for example a card has an effect that Snatches a minion, it will add the next minion that shows up to your opponents deck to your hand. Very useful for generating more cards to play, and although the cards you get will be random, you are most likely not getting something that hurts your deck, and simultaneously gives you info about what kind of heat your opponent is packing. Snatched cards will have a blue sparkle effect on them to both players. Beware how you use stolen cards, because as soon as you play it your opponent WILL know what card they get next and can use that info against you.

Quote from SgtFailure >>

Damn this thread is moving fast! While I haven't got any requests for individual entries I'd like to extend a word of advice. Don't make a class that only relies on their hero power. While Pokémon Trainer tells you can, no other entry in previous contests does. You want a hero power that showcases what you can do with the class, and where you want to take it, not one that requires you to spend two mana every turn. I'd also like to advise you against using unique keywords in your hero powers, or their tokens, as you're locking yourself in a lot. Even with minor edits you're well dug into your mechanic, making you susceptible to a single use type of class, and nobody wants a class that can only be played in one way.

That said I made an update on my entry. Thanks Nurgling for pointing out how to avoid the Rogue feel while still maintaining the spy concept, and thanks to Asylum for clarifying about the wording of spybot. I've added the core concept, a banner, three example cards, and cleaned some things up below, feedback is much appreciated.

---

 Enter Sizzy Sparkeye, the Operative. An elite agent of Gnomeregan Intelligence Service she is as much a spy as a test pilot for whatever crazy tools the gnomes wishes to test. Armed to the teeth with high-tech gadgetry, an impeccable sense of duty, and most of all her unmatched intellect Sizzy is ready to bring the fight. Mark your target, freeze their assets, call on backup from base, or why not send a mail bomb to your opponent? With the operative no task is too large, no gnome too small, and no gadget too advanced.

 ---> 

Sizzy's hero power is Mechanical Eye. While the description is deceptively simple, the Spybot is a gnomish spycraft masterpiece. Once whirred into action this little robot takes note of any card your opponent draws, sending small packages of hurt as they do so. While easy to remove, they quickly become a pest if ignored.

As a mechanic Spybot hints towards what Sizzy does best, namely hand interaction. Being able to swap cards from her hand for new ones, and to freeze cards in your opponent's hand indefinitely, knowledge is everything to an agent. It allows her to play quick punishing decks that wants to be ahead of curve, or to play slow reactive decks where information is everything.

Play Style

Sizzy has no unique mechanic of her own, but she introduces an action never before seen in Hearthstone; She can manipulate cards in hand. A well played Operative can have full control of the game, avoiding common pitfalls such as not knowing what your opponent holds, while still doing their own thing. Spybot let aggressive decks avoid blowout cards while letting more midrange deck know just what to expect, and if your opponent isn't keen on paying one mana to get rid of the damned bot, expect games running out of hand.

In addition to the normal style of game Sizzy's strengths lay in her ability to exchange cards in her hand, her powerful gadgets, and her many cards that let you and your opponent draw cards. She lacks the healing of Priest but is otherwise a jack-of-all-trades kind of game, where the strength of her cards come not from individual value, but correct timing. As she got the ability to remove useless cards from her hand, you will see a lot of cards that are cery strong in the correct situation, while notably weaker otherwise.

Example Cards

Mail Bomb: Mail bomb is a deceptively powerful burst card, and works well with pretty much any archetype the Operative chooses to play. Combo with your hero power to reveal more cards, or burn down that taunt while pushing for tempo. A mix between Naturalise and Darkbomb, this is a core tool for Sizzy.

Chronogun Operative: Another experimental tool from G.I.S. the Chronogun lets Sizzy turn one tool into another. Turn your late game bombs into early game threats, or take a look for that card you need to finish your opponent. Especially interesting in the mirror matchup as it lets you remove revealed cards, and combos well with <redacted> as seen in Naxxramas.

G.I.S. Cryotech: The Cryotech is a wing of, you guessed it, blue bearded gnomes! Experts when it comes to locking things in place and time the Cryotech can cause your foes to shudder. While the effect is far from permanent it can remove key cards such as Brawl or Fireball from the equation for a while. Works well with Spybot to remove randomness.

 

Long time lurker, first time participant. This was super fun! Love to see all the creativity so far.

Good luck all!

After spending some time working on my hero and more example cards, this is what I've come up with... The Void Doctor.

Lore

Gendan was once a high ranking officer of the Scarlet Crusade as a Priest of the Light. He worked devoutly trying to purge the undead from the world, and was renown for his skills in torture and alchemy, particularly when combining the two. He served at Hearthglen until the Lich King and his Death Knights slew nearly everyone there. Gendan was one of the few who escaped, only to be taken prisoner by the forsaken. Tortured for his crimes against their people, he eventually forsook the light, believing it had failed him. Eventually falling into darker practices, Gendan became a shadow priest much like the forsaken he despises. During the Cataclysm, as the world tore itself apart, Gendan managed to make his escape. Tormented both by his past and what he became, he gathered what few followers he could corrupt, and began a new Inquisition, lead by Void Doctors. While little better than the Old Gods themselves, the Void Doctors still work to eradicate the undead using the powers of the void and dark alchemical practices.

Are you still sure you're ok with crushing reno decks? Also, if you do have Inquisition Doctor as an example card, is the 2/2 slime a vanilla token? Otherwise, you're not allowed custom tokens in your example cards.

Ignore this comment I reread the rules and I'm just dumb so I'm gonna fix what was wrong and post it later in another comment.
