Hearthpwn

Think of this as a community experiment, like a "Twitch Plays Pokemon" but with hearthstone cards, and much less chaos. 

Part 1 (12/7-12/10)- Think of a new vanilla minion, try to make it something balanced, but a statline we haven't seen before.  Then, choose a mana cost, an attack, and a health using the polls above. Then, choose an adjective, and a noun from the two lists below.   i used the "Tavern and Inn Name generator" to get some of the nouns and adjectives and the rest were from the top of my head.     

I will find the weighted average everyone's choices for cost, attack, and health, and then I will name the card based on the adjective and noun chosen most.  If there's a tie, I will incoproate all ties (the first card made was called "Giant Salty Giant" because of this) Next to some nouns are tribal tags, so if that get's added, that tribal tag will be added as well.

Will we be able to create a balanced card as a well functioning democracy? Do more people want to see higher cost/ higher stats minions or some more lower cost minions with lower statlines?  Will the trolls troll and mess up our experiment?     Tune in this Sunday (12/10) to find out!

Also, comment below with some suggestions for nouns and adjectives we can use next time.

Part 2 (12/10-12/14)- After the polls close on Thursday, if the card that we make is a power creep or significantly less powerful than a minion that exists, we will then go into Part 2, where people can offer suggestions as to the text for the card.  I will then upload that card to Hearthcards.  The "end goal" is to get a card made by the community into the gallery.  

Last Week's Card

Rarity- Epic

Cost Average- 7.17

Attack Average- 9.00

Health Average = 7

Part 2-  The voting phase is over.  The card, currently, is not that horribly statted for a vanillia minion.  It's essentially a Core Hound with +2 Health without beast synergy.  Core Hound also isn't played that much, so maybe this is a fair powercreep.  

However, if you want to suggest card text to balance this card, or add more flavor, add it below.  Whoever's text gets the most upvotes, I'll to the card. I think I'm not going to add salty as an adjective next round because everyone ends up picking it.  

For card text, how about:

When this minion takes damage, summon a 2/2 Crystal with lifesteal.

It gives the impression of the crystals breaking off of the original giant, and the giant's stat increase compared to Hogger, Doom of Elwynn should make up for the fact that the crystals don't get taunt.

Honestly couldn't find better art.   This was the best I could find for a giant made of rubies. If anyone wants to go look for one, and post it here, I'd have no problem re-uploading it.  

"When this minion survives damage, give it -1/-1 and summon a 1/1 Ruby Shard."

or, "When this minion survives damage, give it -1/-1 and add a Red Shard that deals 1 damage to your hand."
