So, this is an idea I had a while back (before Witchwood) and I thought I'd share it. It was inspired by Regigigas's ability, Slow Start, which causes his stats to be halved until turn 5. Like Rush, Slow Start activates even if pulled from the deck or hand, so no cheating. Also, the turn the minion is played does not count towards Slow Start. It's every turn after. Personally, my favorite is Rogi the Jailer. I'd love to hear what you think and which is your favorite.
For the record, these are the first iterations of these cards which means I haven't made any balance changes. For example, Armored Troll probably could use a buff and Rusted Juggernaut may be abused with silence somehow. The main idea for now is showcasing the keyword. And yes, perhaps the keyword is too slow, which is why I tried to give the cards immediate impact on the board.
Card Notes:
Looney Librarian should have the text that targets are chosen randomly. My bad.
I think this effect is counter-intuitive. You want to get big threats out early, but this mechanic just leaves them exposed to removal and let's your opponent have time to draw it.

Jailed! can stack on a minion.
Cursed Veteran becomes a 3/3 with Windfury.
It’s a good idea, unique and fun, love the work you put in this.
Interesting and unique keyword, great job!
On the third day before Witchwood, Blizzard gave to me,
three Handlock decks,
two Molten Giants
and a winstreak to Legend Rank #3

Yea slow start + silence equals no wait 🧐
Nothing but ash!

This space is intentionally blank.
This is actually a fantastic idea! I'd love to see this become a reality.
I would like to silence the rusted jugg 12/12 yes please
Nothing but ash!
I appreciate all of the feedback, though I would like to point out that I did mention the possibility of Iron Juggernaut being abused with silence. :p
This mechanic is just a renamed Freeze.
Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
Not sure exactly how this works. It sounds exactly like the Countdown mechanic from Shadowverse though.
