I've started working on my Archaeologist submission: 

THE ARCHAEOLOGIST

Archaeologist is a control-oriented hero primarily, that starts slow and has less board presence than other classes. In Un'Goro, this will be changed with Elemental Archaeologist slightly, and KoFT helps build off of the defensive strength with new Decaying Armor. Decaying Armor is seperate from normal Armor, and at the end of your turn, you lose 1 Decaying Armor. Decaying Armor does not stack.

Optional Keyword Section

This has been changed slightly to include Armor, for the Decaying Armor KoFT set. Although primarily seen on weapons, it's still possible on minions, and is now on Armor for Decaying Armor.

Example Cards

 

  

These cards show the variety of new archetypes supported for Archaeologist.

• Tortollan Trapfinder is my Challenge 1 card and great fuel for the Quest, completing one third of it's requirements in just one card. Although it is pricey, it's a great way to keep hand advantage.
• Taletellers is a large minion that supports spilling your hand in Elemental Archaeologist, because you can retrieve your cards one turn later. One downside is that it is pricey, usually taking up most of a turn.
• Search for the Ark is Archaeologist's quest. A homage to Indiana Jones, Archaeologist searches for the lost ark deep in the wilderness of Un'goro, and what's a better way to show this than how Izzy Discovers her path of Un'goro?
• Faraghoul is my example card to show off Decaying Armor. Because Decaying Armor is also Armor, the third line of text is to prevent loops. Although on it's own, it lacks much power, it's very potent when used when gaining Armor multiple times each turn, or when you already have Decaying Armor.
• Izzy the Defiler's text sets it apart from the other Death Knight heroes, making it's focal point not the immediate effect, but the deathrattle. At a 10 Mana Cost, it can be tricky to play, but it guarentees some extra survivability and opens ground for a comeback. Additionally, it fulfills the third challenge, because the Hero Power Discovers cards, helping finish out the Quest in the late game.

The Lich King Fight

Versing Archaeologist, I imagined that games would stretch on some time. To counter this, and to nullify the card advantage that Archaeologist normally gets, I made a solution that forces you to play against your own deck, and perhaps something that forces a player to end the game quickly, so they aren't overwhelmed by resources.

Questions:

- Are any cards still bad?
- Should I swap an Epic KoFT card for ?

God dammit Blizzard, stop stealing my cards.

It's not just this card either.

Links to my previous sets: Basic, Classic.

So, here's my Frozen Throne set:

And a redesign for the Un'Goro quest, as people said minion sacrifice is too similar to warlock:

The custom weapon would be created with 3 "discover" or "option" screens, like Kazakus.

First option: Durability/mana cost

• 1 mana 0/1 weapon
• 3 mana 0/2 weapon
• 5 mana 0/3 weapon

Second option: How the weapon is triggered 

• Fresh Blood
• After you cast a spell
• After an opposing Hero Power is used

Third option: What the weapon does when it's triggered

• Restore 10 health to your Hero
• Deal 3 damage to all enemies
• Add a random Bloodburner spell that costs (5) or more to your hand

Examples: 

If this quest is well received i'll make the rest of the support/synergy cards from the set. Feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

 I REALLY dislike the condition of having to play 5 Weapon. Your class's weapon are 0 Attack Charms weapon, which mean that you are encourage to willy-nilly override your weapon before you can get value out of it in order to complete the Quest, which is not just feel bad (since the fantasy of your class is supposed to be a grinder class) but also will likely clog your hand with useless expansive 0 Attack weapon. I suggest you make the Quest into "Your Weapon lose 7 Durability".

Also nitpick: The 2nd condition should be "After an enemy Hero Power is used". It looks cleaner and allows for shorter text. Also, your example token is using the Neutral border.

I also suggest that you remove the "random" from the spell payoff since that is the only way that I can squeeze your Spell payoff with the Hero Power condition into 4 lines of text:

I also think that the payoff condition for the spell isn't as powerful as the other two condition. Restoring 10-30 Health and cast 3 board clear is clearly superior than the spell condition. I would make it a Discover effect. This also resolve the long text problem and fits in with the expansion.

@NiRaST: Your Quest should be definately has to have the condition to Adapt X minions. Your cards have so many Adapt cards already that it just made sense.

Journey to Un'Goro

• Mystick does not have the +3 Health or Deathrattle options, as those don't make sense on the hero. +1/+1 would give a permanent +1 Attack and additional +1 Health, which is removed after Mystick is.
• Dino-might is a reference to mining tools and ties it to the Dinosaurs of Un'Goro. Here's how it works: 8 damage is dealt to a random minion, then 4 to a random minion, then 2 to a random minion, then 1 damage to a random minion. That's all.
• Paven, Elemental of Surprise's Escape Plan replaces the rightmost Discover option while dormant every time. When you click it, nothing is added to your hand, but Paven is revived instead.

Knights of the Frozen Throne

• Again, Keeper Greatooth counts all Armor as Armor, and gains regular Armor.

  I really, REALLY hate Izzy. Not only that it implies that a Death Knight that can be "cured" with their death (which is NOT the case in lore and in the game, even with the Frost Lich Jaina adventure fight), it's kind of a cop-out since DK is supposed to be huge late-game bomb that fundamentally alter your gameplay. Not only that, the effect is a blatant attempt to copy Ice Block, a card that was HOF for a reason.

Melting Fortress is kind of weak compare to Branching Paths, which not only you keep the Armor but also is incredibly versatile. I think raising the Armor to 15 is a good compromise.

I think your DK card is just too punishing. The problem with this is that even with an Aggro or combo deck (which is what the card encourage you to do) the LIch King can easily summon the minions back and then gain board advantage over you or gain a copy of the combo pieces which then turn them back to you. I would make the card obtained cost (1) more.

Reposting, now with correct cards and some minior changes

Ungoro:

KotFT;

 Feedback very appreciated ! :)

 

Question: Does Seal Dangers Away count on your opponent's turn? Because that will drastically change my evaluation of it.

Proceed Extinction need a wording change. It should be worded as a limitation (Your opponent can only has 3 minions on the battlefield at the same time)

Why is Frost Fly name that way while it has nothing to with Freeze?

Dream Shield, Furious Vengefly, Crystal Guardian and Ogrim need a rename/redesign. I get what you're trying to (trying to link the Stealth theme with the Windfury. Unfortunately, the Windfury aspect is just not right for the Frozen Throne expansion. I would rename Dream Shield and redesign the rest. Maybe focus more on the Freeze theme of your class.

Edit: @thepowrofcheese: Your card set seems almost ready and set to go. If there's something I would change, is that I would make the DK's two Battlecry more synergistic to each other. How does drawing cards is supposed to go with the other part of the Battlecry or the Hero Power?

Demon, there's this card from our expansion that was designed by you:

I thought of that too, but didn't mention it. I'm amazed that Team 5 found a way to make it even more powerful. I still think they should've done what we did and add a "Combined Overload" statistic to the card you get (this would make it an Overload card for the purposes of cards like Unbound Elemental and Thunderhead).

Clearly they were jealous of our version of Year of the Dragon, so they just copied one of our cards from it.
