I'm gonna bump too.

Four questions for all of you:

• What do you think? What do you like/not like?
• Should the card be called Moonglade Corsair or Moonglade Gambit?
• Is the first inspire effect fine? If not, what other Inspire effects do you recommend?
• Should it be "Choose an Inspiration?"

•  1. I think I like the card at the current mana cost and stats, easy to take care of on turn 3 if need be, but also not too weak as to be guaranteed destroyed.
•  2. I think that Corsair is a fine pirate name, but a little overused, so I'm leaning towards Gambit
•  3. The first effect is fine, allows for a late game board presence and a definite threat in the early game. Coin is an alright effect, but not as good as the first one of course.
•  4. Probably yes.

Is one of them any good? If not, I'll probably just go with Diamond Dove which I've shown before.

Note: The cost increase is temporary on the 2nd one, permanent on the 3rd. It can potentially fuck

 I like the top and bottom ones the most, especially the top card. All of them are sweet for mill rogue but the top card actually seems worthwhile. You get a slightly overstated minion on curve with a drawback and off curve you draw two cards.

The bottom one works good in mill rogue too because you aren't drawing cards so your opponent reaches fatigue faster. But the +1 permanent cost is kinda silly, considering that they can either just not play the cards, you gave them to them for free anyways, or they got some crucial combo piece which would win them the game. The bloodreaver example won't be that common anyways.

 Maybe you can do"Inspire: Choose One  - etc."?

 No. The whole point is you choose her inspire effect once, like Fatespinner's Choose a Deathrattle. So you can only give her one Inspire, either make her grow into a big minion everytime you use your hero power, or get Coins. If you were suddenly forced to choose what she does everytime you used your hero power it would ruin the pacing.

 

I think the card is good to go. I'm not totally pleased with the flavour, but I understand it can be difficult on this card. The most important thing is that you're satisfied. BUT, I like the "Choose an Inspire"-part a lot, so I'll definitely still give it a vote :)

 

Already submitted mine, but i made a few more for fun:

Hi everyone! I wanted to give Hunter some love to make it a bit more tricky and replace Unleash the Hounds as an option for slower builds against aggro. It will be my first submission, so I would like to ask you all:

• Is it balanced correctly (stats, damage dealt to the enemy board). If not, what should I change?
• Is the name of the card proper? Does it looks like appealing?

Thanks for all help!

I must agree with PileOfCheese's opinion about Corrupted Drake - this card is massively understatted or overcosted. Discarding one card costs around -1 mana ( Lakkari Felhound vs Ancient of Blossoms or Succubus vs vanilla 3 drop, for exemple Hired Gun), dealing 3 damage costs around 2 mana (Frostbolt, Darkbomb, Quick Shot and many others). With current stats it should cost 6/7 mana.

I also think that Corrupted Templar may be a bit underpowered - how Silver Hand Recruits can be reliably played? There is Drygulch Jailor's deathrattle and eventually bounce effects, but why would you like to use them on a 1/1? Generally at the end of the game this minion will be 5 mana 4/7 with Taunt - Nesting Roc is generally better and it is a neutral card.

alright. I guess I'm way too cautious cause my first like 10 cards were all called massively OP. Thx for feedback.

Generally Discard decks don't run high-costed cards because they will often be discarded before the chance to play them comes. And control decks don't use any discard mechanics because each card they play has a certain amount of value and is better played than invested into the cost of playing another card.

I would keep the discard and cut the cost way down, or just remove the discard penalty.

Well, it's a good thing I've been making a Pirate themed expansion, so I've come prepared. I've been developing ways for the non-weapon classes to use Pirates, and here is the first batch of ideas I've come up with.

Firstly, is an early game card for Druids. So when I was making my non-weapon class Pirates, I wanted to find a way for those classes to get use out of Pirates. So what I did was create a token weapon. The 1/1 Flintlock.

 This is a 1/1 weapon, so it can only be swung once. This can be useful for two things: 1. You can ping off a minion, or 2. Hold the weapon to take advantage of the weapon Pirates abilities, like Southsea Deckhand. Alternatively, you could just draw a card with her in the late game. An extremely useful 1 drop.

Next, I've made a collectable version of Captain Cookie! This Captain Cookie is designed for Murloc decks, and Shamans that have a lot of pirates. He's basically a better Mistcaller.

The last Pirate I have for you is the Nether Raider. A 3 mana 4/5 with charge. HOWEVER, he removes a card from the top of your deck. Can't use Possessed Lackey or Skull of the Man'ari with him, because he's a Pirate. He's forsaken his Demon heritage to become a treasure hunter.

 Buccaneer of elune: I think this is very op, because if you look at other cheap draw cards like novice engineer, loot hoarder, or kobold librarian than this one just beats them all, and with ui and nurish being such good cards the last thing druid needs is more draw.

Captain cookie: I think this card to is op because the effect is fine but it is so cheap that dropping this on turn 3/4 is just to oppressive and powerful for aggro decks, but making it cost more with bigger stats makes not good in aggro decks witch murlocs/pirates are good in so I do not know how you would fix this.

Nether raider: this card seems fun and Interesting how it works like discard but is from your deck so you still have resources, but you have less control over what it removes, I think if you would submit any of these than I think this one would be the one.

Ugh, I can't find the proper art for this card...

 Well, if you wind the art, It's a nice card!

 Thanks man! Can you please quote me the cards you want me to review? Not sure which you intend to go with :)

Ugh, I can't find the prober art for this card...

 

 Neither could I... 

it's pretty cool, though because it includes Wild cards as well, I don't know how fair this is. I'd make it just include your standard collection, though it would not be as cool.

 Well... That's actually a great observation. I did intend for it to include wild cards, but I assume the any part can be presumed as both standard or standard and wild. The reason I want wild cards to be included is because of the name "Swin(e)dler". It seems to be more of a swindle if you can Discover wild cards, so it's merely for flavour. The odds that you get something that fits perfectly in your deck should not be that great given your collection isn't close to nothing. If i capitalise any, as in "Battlecry: Discover ANY card from your collection.", does that show I want wild cards to be included?

Can you quote me your cards?

I don't really see the flavor, if it's supposed to be a sort of a Theif.

This is probaly the best i could find.

 Cheers Tox. I actually find that art myself, but only in a poor quality. Perhaps it's better.

Really? I thought the flavor on this card was what made it great. Or was it mainly because of the art?

Can you link me your card(s) :) ?

 I agree the flavor isn't there it feels abit off for me. Nice idea tho! Punishes players with large collections.

I've come up with 3 ideas so far, struggling to think of better ones atm.

Any feedback? :)

 Thanks. As said to Tox, I really thought the card was flavorful. Is it the art you don't find fitting? Or is it the effect? Or something third?

As for you cards, I like the flavour Captain of Un'goro. I'm thinking a name similar to "Imprecise Navigator" to symbolise "how the hell did a pirate end up in Un'goro?"

 I did find some artwork, but the image is a bit small. Anyway here's the pic (I checked Armello artists and this came up):

 Thanks Fortify - Same as Tox suggested :)

I like the flavor of your card, but (and I know you submitted it already) I think it becomes a bit too wordy. The text shrinks by a far margin. I think it would be very playable if you just made it a Battlecry instead of a recurring effect.

 Reverse Googling is a wonderful thing.

If you need the picture in a higher quality, or it being brighter or darker, just tell me.

I feel like the flavor doesn't fit, it it's supposed to be some sort of petty thief. However, with the different art, it looks more like someone who tricks people into making unfavorable deals, which personally fits te effect way better flavorwise. 10/10 i would vote for it with the new art.

This is my idea so far.

 

Cheers again Tox! Unfortunately there's not enough room to get his hand on the bolo-tie in the picture... the very thing that makes him feel like a swindler :D Here's the new version. I decided to make it Combo instead of Battlecry, cause the statline would otherwise be too high, and if I made it a 2/2 it would feel a bit too much like Kabal Courier. Waddayathink?

As for your card. Love the effect, but the name doesn't fit. The name would fit perfectly if it was something like "Battlecry: Target a Beast. When it dies, restore 5 Health to your hero." I'd rather go with something like "Scavenging lookout" or "Loot-Hungry Lookout" - but besides that, the card is really awesome.

EDIT: I know "mark" sounds better than "choose", but it would be the correct term to use ;)
