Before I decide to go to sleep because it's 3:30 and I probably should have gone to bed by now, I'm gonna post my current MSoG stuff... I'm doing Karazhan after, don't question me.

The Faction: The Nightingales!

The Nightingales are a group of men and women of all races who are tired of all the fighting and chaos on the streets, and have banded together to make it through the gang wars as a community. Among the actual fighters and combatants that help defend the rest of the faction, you'll find many strangely adorned, elusive individuals. That's not to say they're not still a huge community though, everyone loves them. Through this sense of community comes their keyword.

In the Nightingales, your minions can help support their other minions to help attain victory. Of course, if the one helping dies, the one recieving help is, well, no longer recieving help. This class is taking a Grimy Goons approach to faction synergies. The actual effects don't directly synergise like Jade Lotus, but some cards out there can get a little extra kick out of these cards.

This legendary is completely a placeholder one, I need to continue coming up with ideas on how to make her more unique. However, Nightingale Scout is a bit more interesting. Should she be interesting though? I thought she didn't have to be too general because all 3 classes she can be used in can appreciate a little bit of taunt. Her effect is clearly huge for her cost and body, but that said, if that body goes down, so does the effect, so it's going to be stronger than a Shattered Sun Cleric, for example.

Goblin Bartender gives off a lot of little buffs to anyone that enters the board after him, but he really needs to be kept alive, because you can't get much immediate value from the guy. This reminds me! The idea behind The King in terms of MSoG is that he's been caught up travelling through Gadgetzan back home, and can't leave until the place calms down a little. So he's helped form the Nightingales and is getting help from towns, rather than his huge luxurious kingdom full of humans.

Imperial Chef is a promising cook who's been chosen to come work in the Kings own kitchens... If he ever gets back there. She can start supplying food to a minion, making it extra sturdy, but if she goes down, the minion's max health will go back down to normal.

Town Crier is the first of a few synergy cards available for the King. This guy spreads the word of the Nightingales like the plague, causing the Ally effects to chain to everyone. This has huge effects, however if he is taken out, the entire network of allies you just set up goes down. Protect him with your life.

This giant is of noble blood. Just look at him, with that chiseled face, his chiseled pillar and his literally chiselled face, being carried in his arms. Basically, epic king has Pompous Noble, but maybe you want a couple more threats in your deck to beat up your opponents with. Highborn Giant is the solution. Is his costing fair?

Princess Vanessa is a huge minion who rewards something equally huge: A permanent effect. Her current tokens are here:

I'm well aware Capitalism is a tad strong, considering Promote is a thing, but it's hard to get the balancing right... I think they need different, non-real world names though... I also need another token. Any thoughts?

 Gonna bump this because it was at the bottom of the last page and it's unlikely it will get any attention now.

I was bored so I started on another class. Probably not gonna be working on it much aside from the classic/basic set though as I'm using it to test really out there mechanics that probably wouldn't be worth doing expansions with. The hero is basically a super smart and philosophical AI. The class focuses on zoo and midrange winning with snowball style effects. Not a clue what to name the class though.

Bassic Set:

Classic Set:

Tokens:

Let me know if you guys think the class looks promising or if it looks like it'd end up being too one dimensional/only using class cards.

Nightingales - I feel like the class needs some more flavor. For the existing factors, the leader is an important part of the flavor, so I think you need to come up with who this person is, what their motivation is for banding everyone together (something more than just being sick of violence is important), and how they plan on doing it. Something like a rogue Naaru would be perfect, and would give a backstory for the Ally buffs.

Goblin Barkeeper - Probably balanced against Addled Grizzly, since you can get rid of all the buffs by killing one minion. 

Imperial Chef - Love the flavor on this one. I think you nailed it.

Town Crier - This one is confusing. What effects are spread exactly? What if you have 2 town criers and they ally with themselves? What happens? It kinda sounds like this could create infinite loops, but maybe because I don't understand it at all.

Highborn Giant - This one doesn't really fit WoW lore. Giants can't be highborn, because they aren't like normal people are all. They aren't just big people like in other fantasy tropes. Also, I don't like the idea of class giants.

Princess Vanessa - Why is a princess discovering a non-monarchy ideology? Might I suggest the name Vanessa the Reformer. It still implies she's nobility. Also, for your third epic-based ideology, how about Meritocracy? Some other possibilities are the almost-synonym Technocracy, or Oligarchy.

I've made changes to my Dancer's MSoG Set:

Tri-Class Cards:

Class Cards:

Token:

Gonna quickly post this here, I just finished coming up with my last few minions for the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan. I'm taking the rogue approach where I will have only 2 spells throughout the entire set, and no weapons. Anyway...

Ancestral Guardian is a quality 1 drop. Obviously, a 2/2 for 1 is very strong, but when Mistress of Mixtures isn't being run outside of N'Zoth and Reno decks, that shouldn't be completely crazy. His effect allows him to be unsilencible, which means little unless you buff him. Also, when an ally dies, he won't lose their buff. Thematically, he's like an ancient spirit who's lived for many years, and the effects go straight into the soul, for that's all he is, meaning they can't be lost... Or something like that. I swear it makes sense to me.

Stubborn Goliah kills any minion with 3 or less attack as soon as he hits the board. He can be buffed in hand with things like Celebrations, and he's an all around great card. He doesn't fit in with a king class as much as he's based on the faction. Basically, the factions all about charismatic chaps who prefer talking to violence, and he's the direct opposite of that idea. This is combining the Kings theme of strength with the faction itself.

Dead Corsair has the same cost and total stats as Dread Corsair... I don't care if you aren't, I'm proud of the name. Anyway, attaching an Ancestral Spirit to a 4/2 for 4 is great, as he should cost about 2 less mana for that, yet if he dies before the other one does, it's lost, meaning the effect should be used for value rather than insurance. He also synergizes with cards like the previous sets Slippery First Mate.

Veruca has an updated name, so... There.

EDIT: Just realised the spelling error in my legendary and sub-par capitalisation of the name, just fixed that.

I don't get Ancestral Guardian fully. Making an minion immune to Silence in this way is weird. I'm also curious about how it would work along side something like Entomb, Recycle, Freezing Trap, or Sap. 

Stubborn Goliath seems kind of interesting, its a single shot version of your legendary prince guy. 

Dead Corsair is a bit strong mostly because of how good it is when actively trading. Its like the chef girl on steroids. 

New name and that is cool on the legendary.

 I don't think Dead Corsair is TOO strong, even though he has excellent value when you trade. In comparison to Ancestral Spirit, he costs 2 more and has the stats of a 2.5 mana minion, which is of course really strong, but he can lose the effect if you aren't able to immediately trade it in, he's harder to combo with, and the Imperial Chef is a lot more versatile, you can guarentee mitigating at least 3 damage with her.

Anyway, Ancestral Guardian, I have decided, doesn't fit in well enough with with the king class. His effect will remain the same, but it's gonna be a new character. Anyway, the reason he's immune to silence in this way is because he fills a similarish role to Town Crier. If he simply said "Can't be silenced" that would defeat the point, as he's supposed to benefit more from ally effects. In other words, it needs to function like that, else he'll still lose effects upon whoever's allied with him dying.
Anyway, I too, am intrested in how it would work bringing the card back to the hand. I, for one, am not too opposed, not in the slightest, with him keeping the effects. Since there's no card quite like him yet in Hearthstone, I guess we get to decide on this situation. I like the idea of it because it seems interesting, especially if you play this guy after a town crier and some ally effects on that crier. If he gets returned to your hand at that point, he'll have the criers battlecry and effect, and all of a sudden, all of your cards have his stuff, including his base effect, which is insane in a Nightingale deck. Of course, since that would be hard to pull off, it's nice to think about that kind of a cool combo of sorts.

So... Do you think he should keep his effects upon being returned to your hand or nah?

 

Quote from Gug >>

Well here's my class as a whole.

 

Playing style

This type of the deck relies on swarming speed via the combination of returning one card on your field to your hand and Chi effects ( When this card on the field returns to the hand) .

 

 

 

 

Okay, so I was going to write a long post with explanations and everything, but then google chrome quit on me 3 GOD DAMN TIMES, and I'm just too fed up to try again. I apologise for not being around to give feedback, but I swear I'll get to it over the weekend (as well as hopefully make the majority of classic). That said, lemme just drop my class's new-and-hopefully-improved basic set here:

Class Summary:

Quote from Mewdrops >>

Okay, then, don't mind me! (Although I would like feedback XD)

I've decided to rework my Medium class, because I was quite attached to some concepts, and not to others. Since we're no longer part of the competition, I've decided to just go all-in with all the stuff I liked but other people didn't, as well as some stuff the competition didn't allow.

This class isn't going to tie in a lot with WoW lore since IDK much about it and I'm too lazy to do research, and is probably going to be based more on Chinese/Japanese folklore - mainly Chinese, since I'm more familiar with that.

I'll just stick this here for now and add stuff as I go.

The Shrine Maiden

 

'Lore':

In the mountains a mile or so away from town, there exists an empty shrine to an unknown god, tended to by a white haired, red eyed girl. Nobody knows why she lives there - nor do they know why she never leaves except to buy food and water from the village market. Those suffering from ailments incurable by the apothecary or the priest turn to her for relief, travelling to her dwelling for treatment and returning healed. Few have tried to uncover the mysteries behind her power, but there are rumours that if you tried to visit her shrine at night, you would find ghostly voices echoing in the air.

Class Mechanics: 

Like my original Medium class, the Shrine Maiden focuses on combo plays, with a ramp aspect. Her hero power, while it doesn't allow her to dig for answers like Warlock, does allow her to draw through her deck faster and refill her hand, making her a versatile class that, while being more combo-based, can also play a zoo or aggro style.

Her keyword allows her to pull of powerful Combo plays in one turn, or simply ramp out big threats - sort of like a reverse Overload that can let her go over 10 mana, up to 20. I imagine the extra crystals being added on a separate bar, and coloured a jade-like green. The delayed nature of Channel and Communion rewards you for planning out your next turn in advance.

Now? ty for help

Chi ==>  When this card returns to the hand : <effect>

 

 This is such a huge improvement. Well done. 

A few things: spend some time looking at existing cards so that you make sure to match things like wording and Capitalization. It makes a big difference. For example, there should be no space after the word Chi and before the colon. Then, the first word after that should be Capitalized ;) Health and Attack should also always be capitalized.

I don't really get Mist Dragon and Wind Tiger... basically if you return it to your hand you summon a better version of it? The problem with that is you have a source of infinite value... i.e. keep playing the version that returns to your hand, keep hero powering it, and it never ends. Too good. Also, make sure to change your typos of 'with' ;)

Final note: remember that you can make custom keyword tooltips at Hearthcards.net... so you can have your definition of Chi in an image as it would appear in the game.

eta: forgot to mention I really love your art!!! Only one that could definitely improve is the one for your Roll hero power.
