Graves has a focus on the combat and healing aspects of Priest, sadly underrepresented in Hearthstone. No longer will you have to trade into minions and worry about them dying and no longer will you need to sink mana for healing because Graves does all of that for you. It can be useful for cards like
Northshire Cleric
,
Mana Geode
,
Injured Blastmaster
or just in general, anything you want to keep alive. Although it may seem overpowered with a
Pit Fighter
statline, minion healing is generally priced at virtually nothing (see
Circle of Healing
and
Hozen Healer
). That and 5 mana 5/6s with upsides are nothing new (
Drakonid Operative
,
Ethereal Peddler
, etc.)
I'm going to stick with a fairly-simple approach this week:
A strong tool for Armor-focused Druids, the effect is straight-forward: whenever you play a card that provides Armor, Elder Jari adds 5 more as a bonus. So for example,
Oaken Summons
would provide 11 Armor, a dying
Plated Beetle
would give 8, and
Kun the Forgotten King
could give you 15 if you chose that option.
Branching Paths
could give as much as
22
Armor if you pick that option twice, but that's pretty on-par with fairness if you consider 5 Armor is worth 1 Mana according to
Iron Hide
.
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Pretty straightforward card. Would be good in N'zoth warrior to possibly pull good deathrattles while having a chance to kill off powerful minions in your opponents deck. Obviously this can cut both ways though and you could find yourself on the end of a beefy minion that survives the brawl.
(I know the mods probably don't care about this, but I'm gonna write the thought process if this card anyway)
Initially, I was experimenting around with the "give and take-back" mechanics with Bink the Burglar, but it just didn't feel right. Then I realised, why not give that to Russell? I didn't want to make it as simple as "Take a minion" because those shenanigans have happened in Hearthstone before with horrible results (Exhibit A: Sylvanas Windrunner ). When I tried coming up with the text for this minion, I initially wanted it to be neutral; but then there are issues with Rogue's bounce mechanics and Shaman's Evolvomancy. I didn't want to change the wording because it was so perfect, so I gave it to Priest. I know Priest has silence effects, but you need 7 types of brain damage to run cards like Purify and Silence in a serious competitive deck.
This card works because it punishes power plays like a turn 7 The Lich King , especially after their removal is gone. it is very susceptible to cheap removal like Eviscerate , Swipe , Slam , you name it. However, I do think this is balanced because unlike Potion of Madness , this is a quote-unquote "permanent" effect, so you may attack with the minion immediately. This also directs the opponents to spend resources that could otherwise target other minions, on poor Russell. And again, the wording is so beautiful and perfect, I had to go for it.
Edit: "Politely" is what makes the card competitively viable. You don't want Russell to just throw back your Flamewreathed Faceless , now do you?
"Legend says he can put Hogger to sleep with his Lullabies. Through magic or boredom, we don't know."
Just noticed there's no Flurgl yet (or maybe i've just missed him), so made one.
Pretty simple, 4/5 worth of stats alone and if u have another minion, it's also gonna be buffed by spores released by the mushroom. It's kinda delicate tho, so if u pop it it's gonna release all of them at once, buffing everything in its wake.
And i still dunno how to properly add images from imgur, the link seems always to be broken.

"Hey, I'm just here for the Coin!"
Fits well with her hero power in the dungeon run encounter. Might be good enough to revive quest rogue.

Works well with Enrage , Frothing Berserker s and Eggs.

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
To pump Combo and trigger other cool stuff (cause Rat costs 0) Rogue's Dream for sure. Even for Quests if this survives couple of turns

He sees the "0 Days Since Last Injury" jobsite sign as praise rather than motivation.
Synergies with obvious stuff like Rotface , Acolyte of Pain , etc., and you can use cards like Sudden Genesis and Blood Warriors to make even more Mogarks!
